LOS ANGELES - Bob Barker's road to retirement is passing through prime time.
The legendary daytime game-show host won't tape his last "Price Is Right" episode until June 6, but CBS will honor Barker next week with a pair of prime-time specials celebrating his five decades on television.
The prime-time specials are to air at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.
They feature snapshots from Barker's personal collection, including pictures of his mother, his wife and a photo of the fitness buff himself jogging shirtless on a Biloxi beach.
Barker, 83, said he picked "just the right time" to say good-bye to the cameras.
"I do not have any regrets about retiring," he said. "Isn't that strange? I expected to have second thoughts." *
