Bob Barker endorsed his friend Rosie O'Donnell as a possible successor on "The
Price Is Right," although the newly retired host isn't sure CBS wants a woman to
take over the game show.
"I believe they're going to have a meeting with
Rosie," Barker said backstage Friday night at the Daytime Emmy Awards, where he
won his 19th trophy.
"She knows the show," he said. "There's no doubt in my
mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know.
I've never heard that discussed. As far as I know, they've only auditioned
men."
Barker said his friendship with O'Donnell goes back several years, when
she had him as a guest on her old daytime talk show.
"She told me she loved
`The Price Is Right' and wanted to host it one day," he recalled.
Among those
mentioned as possible replacement hosts have been Todd Newton of the E! network,
Mark Steines of "Entertainment Tonight," George Hamilton and John
O'Hurley.
Barker retired last week at age 83 after 35 years of giving away
vacations and cars on the hit CBS game show. But he said he may be back with
some specials featuring vintage clips and guests.
"If it works out, I'd like
to do that," he said. Source
All I have to say is this: if they make Rosie the new host of the Price Is Right the show is done for. I absolutely hate the woman, and anything that she has ever touched has been ruined; just look at The View...granted, ratings may have been up for some time but look at the rude, snide comments she made and the people she pissed off. It's one thing to be opininated and not have a problem sharing your views, comments and thoughts with the world and those around you but it's a completely different ball game when you're just flat out ignorant with the comments you make. Much like the comment Rosie made on The View a few weeks back calling U.S. troops the real terroists in Iraq. Stupid people, I tell you.
