Camera pans applauding crowd and stage, a banner stating 'Congratulations Bob' hangs over the stage as a reminder to Mr. Barker's last day prior to retirement. The announcer continues the opening lines.
Announcer- ... America's favorite gameshow, a entire hour with fun filled games and exciting prizes. And now your host of The Price Is Right... Bob Barker.
Continued applause as the camera pans to the left stage entrance in anticipation of Mr. Barker. Applause continues, quietly subsides for a moment when Mr. Barker still isn't shown, then rebounds to the normal decibel for the studio as the "applause" indicators light up.
Another moment passes with no sight of Mr. Barker.
Announcer- And now your host of The Price Is Right, Bob Barker.
Behind stage a frantic producer finds Mr. Barker in his suite/ dressing room and prods him to go onstage. The producer produces some stage hands and they carry Mr. Barker to the stage. Mr. Barker is heavy footed and has to be pushed onto stage. The applause had once again quieted, but becomes excitedly overdone on Mr. Barker's appearance.
Without warning an audience member, wearing a " I *heart with X over it* retirement", takes a running jump onto the stage and hugs Mr. Barker before being taken off stage by security.
In the chaos a half full pint bottle of tequila falls from Mr. Barker's Pocket. A shocked audience realizes then that the famous host has been pounding tequila for six hours prior to taping. Some overly concerned audience member with a "hello my name is Deb" name tag, yells.
Deb- No Bob, don't let it take you like it took my husband.
Mr. Barker responds in a slur of barely audible noises before falling off stage and ending his career. Audience members leave in a calm and organized fashion. Every audience member is provided a new blender in exchange for signing a "I didn't see that happen" disclaimer.

Damn, I could totally use a blender. Wish I'd been there.
