CBS will at least give the show a shot with a new host. It won't be cancelled immediately after Bob's retirement. It may not lost the full season, but it will come back in the fall.

They already done a new version once without Bob Barker, a nighttime version hosted by Doug Davidson, which was a complete failure.. I doubt they cancel it right off, but I don't see it lasting long once Barker departs from the show.

Kirk Herbstreit from ESPN's College Football Gameday said on his radio show in Columbus, OH that he was offered the job but he turned it down. He said he also turned down a job to host a syndicated Deal or No Deal.

I don't think it really matters who replaces him, the show is going to end anyway. It will probably do well the first month of the new season when people are tuning in out of curiosity. After that I suspect the ratings will drop and it'll be canceled or just limp along the rest of the year and not be renewed. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see how anyone can replace Barker and keep the showing going strong.
