 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Fans camped outside CBS Television City this week for the chance to say goodbye to daytime TV legend Bob Barker. "If they offered me $10,000 for my ticket, I'd say take a hike. This is the chance of a lifetime," said Philip Barrett, 24, of Tampa, Fla., who was first in line to attend Barker's finale on Wednesday.
Barrett traversed the country to claim his spot on Saturday afternoon and was then joined by hundreds of others who hoped to see the silver-haired Barker tape one of his farewell shows after 35 years as host of "The Price Is Right."
"I'm here because I need to kiss Bob," said Melanie Zepeda Velez, 32, who traveled from Alberta, Canada, for the event.
