But I'll try

Thanks, I'll try, I usually feel intimidated with people

Hi, Emma!

I have CP as well as AS, and I have been in a wheelchair since I was 4 years old. I was born 3 months premature on a respirator in Seattle, Washington in the US. It is a great city, but I am a little bit farther away from you than you might think. I am across the Pacific Ocean, not the Atlantic. I have been using the computer for 17 years now. I have been an avid game show fan since birth.

Now, do I keep up with game shows in your neck of the woods? Absolutely, and I have to say, Channel 4 deciding to hire Des O'Connor to host "Countdown" is one of the greatest things to happen to British game shows since sliced bread! He is a great guy! Look at this. Richard Whiteley passed away when he was 61, then they got Des Lynam who was 62 and now they have Des O'Connor who is 74. That just goes to show you that age does not matter.

Heck, our game show king here in America is retiring after 35 (thirty-five) years of hosting our "Price is Right." He has been hosting "The Price is Right" since day one! He is a rather venerable man by the name of Bob Barker, and June 7 will be his last day on TV. We Americans will all miss him terribly!

Emma, I hope I won't have to say the same thing about you! You seem like a very nice person! Nice to meet you!

35 years?? Wow, now that is a long time.

Bob is a legend! No Larry, but he is a legend!

Now, this is one of the greatest moments in his tenure as Price is Right host!

Enjoy!

If that doesn't get the heart racing I don't know what would.

You saw that the Showcase is not the way you are familiar with it being done. Well, it's been that way since day one with one small change. The range for winning both showcases was $100 or less.

I wish Larry Emdur could replace Bob, but it won't happen!

Yeah, Larry is good. He's got style. But how does he compare to Bob?

He's much younger, and he does keep people in suspense when it comes to the results of a contestant's pricing game, but not as much as Bob does.

And now, in order of age, here are the three candidates who will replace Bob Barker here in America on "The Price is Right."

larsenjw92286, you seem like a pretty nice guy.

I was born just short of 3 months premature (I forget the specific amount). Apparently, I didn't have oxygen for a brief time (the placenta broke), but they didn't thought little enough of it that I only found out about it recently. The doctors that diagnosed me with AS, ADHD, brain trauma (ect...) think that might have had something to do with it.
