I seriously can’t wait until the new season of The Price is Right starts so we don’t have to write about the host debacle anymore. If you read a few posts ago, Bob Barker apparently endorsed Rosie O’Donnell to be the next host of The Price is Right. Just kidding! Barker is now saying that he didn’t endorse Rosie at all. “I have not been asked for my opinion, nor have I expressed one,” Barker said. “I think there are several candidates who could do the show, and Rosie is certainly one of them.” Barker stressed Wednesday that he never meant to imply she was his top pick to replace him. It would be “terribly presumptuous,” he added, to assume he would have any impact on the host selection. OK, I think it’s now time to break a happy pill in Uncle Bob’s coffee and put him in the corner for a few days.

There are apparently two more candidates to host The Price is Right as well: Ian Ziering, from Beverly Hills 90210 and The Drew Carey Show star/Whose Line is it Anyway host Drew Carey. I have never seen Ziering in my life, so I have no opinion about him. Maybe this whole hoopla has made my senses die, but I don’t think Drew Carey would be a horrible fit. He’s a lot better than 90% of the candidates they’ve tried so far. According to AP, hosts still in the running are Todd Newton, Mark Steines, George Hamilton, and (our official pick) John O’Hurley who began taping a new season of Family Feud today.
