In the short video, host Drew Carey, 65, revealed the CBS show filmed its last episode at Bob Barker Studio 33 in Glendale, California.

The comedian said: “We’ve been here for 51 years in this historic stage. I used to tell people there was magic in the wood because of all the good vibes in this studio – all the laughs, all the fun.”

Drew continued: “Now we gotta go and start a new place and put our own vibes in the new place.”

The last episode from Bob Barker Studio 33 airs on June 26.

THE COMMENTS

In the comments section, viewers were unsure about the new move, especially since the studio honored the retired host Bob Barker, 99.

One critic of the move said: “I’m not too happy about this decision to move out of where both hosts Carol Burnett and Bob Barker called this place ‘home’ on Hollywood.”

A supporter of the move added: “If they are going to a new studio, there needs to be a full audience, just like before COVID. That’ll make me happy.”

Another critic argued: “I personally think @therealpriceisright should stay where they are and go back to having a packed audience.”

A second supporter wrote: “I hope the new home will be something special and I still will continue to watch this great show.”

A commentator chimed in: “Aww…bittersweet! I was ‘raised’ in the Bob Barker studio!

“Congratulations on this new chapter! I hope to be able to come on down to the new studio!”

REMEMBERING BOB BARKER

When the popular program debuted in 1972, Bob served as the host for over thirty years.

After Bobs retired from hosting in 2007, Drew took over the reins.

After his retirement, Barker made a few guest appearances from time to time and briefly returned to his hosting duties for an April Fool’s Day prank in 2015.

INJURED ON SET

Recently, contestant Henry arrived on set with his right arm limp and his wife by his side.

While celebrating his big win at a game of Bonkers, Henry dislocated his shoulder on stage.

Drew shared: “Henry was celebrating and going ‘Woo,’ and he dislocated his shoulder.”

“So, he’s not going to be able to spin the wheel, but Alice is going to spin the wheel for him.”

A viewer recalled another incident in 1998, during Bob’s hosting run, “when a contestant named Scott hurt his knee while playing the Dice Game!”
