I ever tell you how sick I am of Rosie O’Donnell and The Price is Right news? Rosie said that she had a nice lunch with producers on Friday, but has suddenly changed her mind and stated “Well, here’s the thing: I really don’t need a job. I’m in a weird position. I don’t need the money. So to get my entire family uprooted from their lives and move them across the country so that I can have a fantasy childhood indulgence, you know, job … it just doesn’t seem fair.” Rosie hails from New York.

So there you go, now she’s gone yet again. I’ve kept my mouth shut, but I’ve gotten so many negative emails that I figured I’d throw in my two cents. It’s at least in my opinion that Rosie O’Donnell was one of the few chances for the show to be assured to stick around a bit more. I don’t think she was the greatest choice on Earth, but I just don’t see any of the other relatively unknowns such as the horribly annoying Todd Newton doing anything. I just see this entire situation mimicking the whole CBS News fiasco. They get a new host in, people watch it for a few days out of curiosity, and then quickly turn it off. I think they need to worry about making sure the viewers come around in bigger numbers in anticipation of a large drop-off, and to do that they need a high profile host.

Yes, Rosie made some outlandish comments on The View, but that was her job. She knows more than enough to now bring this to The Price is Right. Again, I don’t think she would be the best Price is Right host, but in this tricky period in the show’s history, they need some name recognition to carry it on, at least in my opinion. She surely wouldn’t make me want to watch the show any more or less than I do now, which is rarely, to be honest. Right now, at least in my eyes, if CBS wants to make sure the show sticks around for at least three more years, they need to be looking at Drew Carey. Plus I think he’d make a pretty good host anyway.
