AsburySkinsFan Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Bob Barker backs Rosie O'Donnell for 'The Price is Right' POSTED: 12:22 p.m. EDT, June 16, 2007 LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teller Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 She'll have to alter Bob's famous tagline: "Here's a reminder, have your pet spayed or neutered. Rosie's will be: "Here's a reminder, the United States ****ing sucks!" (crotch grab) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpillian Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Man, and here I was hoping for a Happy Gilmore-esque confrontation between Bob Barker and Rosie: "The price is wrong, *****!" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsOrlando Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Rosie may be the worst possible candidate next to Al Gore to replace Bob. Could you imagaine any of the servicemen who'd be a contestant on that show? It'd be ugly, real ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Well we know what Barker did over the years with certain beauties. Just the thought of them having to do those things with Rosie is disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isle-hawg Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I clicked on this to read the punchline. I didn't see it but saw there was no link, and just figured it was an dry humor joke. Then I checked CNN.com "just in case". http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/06/16/barker.odonnell.ap/index.html :doh::doh::doh: Oh well, I work during the day anyway and haven't seen the show in I don't know how many years, so what the heck who cares:silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojobo Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 make regis the host. He is the only one who would have a chance at keeping the show as good as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I'd like someone who is young who will be on it for a long time for the role... If the one thing The Price Is Right has realized is that the viewer loyalty isn't just for the show, it's for the host as well... So I'd like to nominate Carson Daily...

Larry Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Oh, come on, folks. What's with all the Rosie bashing? Name me one person who says "Poor trailer trash will act like an idiot on national TV for enough Wal-Mart goodies to fill his double-wide" better than Rosie?

Teller Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 So I'd like to nominate Carson Daily... Even if you do nominate Johnny Carson every single day until the position is filled, he ain't comin' back. I agree that he'd be great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Even if you do nominate Johnny Carson every single day until the position is filled, he ain't comin' back. I agree that he'd be great though. That's what I was thinking... I mean he's what 35 or so? He's still got another 50 years in him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Rosie is too much about herself. A game show host has to defer and let the contestants have their moments and only really interject their personality to spice things up occassionally. Rosie is an attention hog. I think she could be a good game host of like a dating show or newlywed game type show or any show that involves banter and wink wink kind of stuff, but the Price is Right would be a bad fit. On top of that, she hasn't been funny in fifteen years. Some of my friends who do stand up said that once upon a time she was absolutely hilarious. I must have missed that moment in her life.

Burgold Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 No, hers will be "Don't forget to have your Republicans and Soldiers spayed or neutered." Okay, that might be worth having her on the show. Can we get O'Reilly and Rush as contestants Then again, we stopped eugenics here in the 1970's and that was for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Worthy Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 If they are going to consider women as well I nomiate that host from the Weakest link... She will make every contestant feel like a two-year old....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 EWWWWW!!!!! That would make me stop watching! But, do you think there's a potential for Rosie to follow Bob's lead and get slapped with a sexual harrassment complaint by one of the models?

Raub Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 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. George Hamilton or John O' Hurley would be great for the show. Who doesn't want to see Peterman from Seinfeld hosting a game show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
