BIG CHANGES

The Price is Right moved from Bob Barker Studio 33 over the summer and headed for new horizons for the first time in half a century.

On June 26, 2023, The Price is Right wrapped its 51st season and its last time filming in Television City

Television City is also home to Dancing With the Stars, The Young and The Restless, and American Idol.

"Today we say farewell to the legendary Bob Barker Studio," the game show told its fans via Instagram.

"Thank you for all the memories. We’ll see everybody in Glendale next season!"

In another Instagram post, Drew also shared: "We’ve been here for 51 years in this historic stage.

"I used to tell people there was magic in the wood here because of all the good vibes that have been in this studio.

"You know, all the laughs, and all the fun that have been here.

"Now, we got to go and start a new place, put our own good vibes into that new place."

He added: "I am blessed by being able to walk the same stage that people like Bob Barker (and) Carol Burnett used to walk on.

"Honestly, it’s a real blessing in my life. I always am grateful and thankful that I have this opportunity to have a job like this."

Taping at Haven Studios began on July 28, 2023.

When Bob Barker retired, Drew became The Price is Right host in 2007.

The show recently shared snaps of the gorgeous new studio which still has the classic Price Is Right Look.

'MUCH NEEDED' SET REVAMP

However, a positive change was made which is the audience stairs were removed in way of ramps, so anyone can "come on down" now.

"The Bob Barker studio will sadly be missed," one fan recently wrote under a post from the show.

"That was a good move eliminating the stairs to get up on stage!" wrote another.

"It needed doing, especially for the handicapped and physically challenged," wrote another.

LOSS OF A LEGEND

Bob died on the morning of Saturday, August 26, 2023, in his Los Angeles home - at the time it was said to be due to natural causes.

He was 99 at the time of his death.

His publicist Roger Neal said in a statement: "It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us."

Bob is survived by his half-brother, Kent Valandra, and his girlfriend, Nancy Burnet, who had been overseeing his care.

Bob began hosting The Price is Right in 1972 and held an impressive 35-year run before his retirement.

Due to his passion for animal rights, his iconic tagline at the end of each episode was: “Help control the pet population.
