Who Does Barker Want To Host Price?
Bob Barker, who received what are most likely the last two Daytime Emmys of his career last night, is backing none other than Rosie “Rowdy on The View” O’Donnell, who has hosted neither a TPiR Live show or a run-through session at Studio 33. “There’s no doubt in my mind she could do the show,” says Barker. “She told me she loved The Price Is Right and wanted to host it one day.” I’d like to see her at least try, and hear what the fans think about her afterwards.
She could have done it years ago back during her Rosie O’ Donnell show era. But She’s changed. and IMO she’s just not funny anymore. But if Bob’s backing her. I think we oughta cue up the death march for TPIR. :(
I thought Rosie was out of the running, according to Bob himself.
Pure bullshit. Bob is nuts, and I don’t mean that in a good way. If she does become the host of TPiR, I can just see that hardly anyone will be watching it anymore.
Like I said before, Bob is out of his mind. I hate to say this about a man I admire, but he might finally be going senile. If she becomes host and does a lousy job, I may never watch again.
Rosie + TPIR = Doom
totally agree with Marc. The timing for Rosie to enter TPIR is totally off, if only the The View had not occured, maybe things would be different.
I agree back years ago during her talkshow and even back in the early 90′s I think it would have been cool to see Rosie host even just for a day TPIR but now I wouldn’t want to see it. If Bob wanted a woman to host TPIR I would choose Meredith Viera. I ‘ve heard about some of the things that Rosie wants to do to TPIR which also makes me say no. I still think that Todd Newton, John O Hurley, Doug Davidson and Mark Summers for TPIR
You hear that? That’s the sound of TPIR crashing to earth if Rosie gets the keys.
No matter who becomes the host, someone else has to be the producer. Someone who will keep the show exactly the same.
Well Roger Dobkowitz is staying as Executive producer.
And I think Rosie must have served Bob 3 to many drinks last night.
He has really now just lost his mind. I just can’t see her doing the show.
Male models and on her blog she said she wanted Ross The Intern to be
the announcer. God help us all. Could you imagine. “Alright Steve Come on Down, Oh my
Gosh you are going to win on TPIR”.
Would someone please shoot me? WHAT THE HELL IS CBS and FREMANTLEMEDIA drinking? This has to be the biggest joke heard around the world. If this happens, Bob Barker’s image and legacy is going to be tarnished in ways he wished it never had. HE HAS LOST HIS SANITY!!!
I have 10 comments before me that put things rather well, so I need not say any more…
*Sobs* Poor TPIR, it didn’t need to happen like this. OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE… :’(
Are there any other versions of ‘Price’ from around the world where the host was a woman? NONE!!! It’s always been a man as the host, and the women are the models. Rosie would want male models instead of female models if she were the host. Rich Fields would not get along with Rosie so that’s why she wants Ross Matthews (and I not going to call him by his nickname “The Intern” anymore) to be the announcer if she were the host. What if Rosie’s friend Caroline Rhea who left “The Biggest Loser” just to get a tryout to be Barker’s successor? Rosie wouldn’t like that, but more people would prefer Caroline Rhea over Rosie if the host was going to be a woman.
How do you know Rosie would want male models and that Ross the Intern would announce? I don’t see anything on Rosie’s page about that. If you have proof, I’d like to see it. Otherwise, please don’t start baseless rumors. If you do show proof, I humbly apologize. I saw nothing on Rosie’s page about TPiR.
I agree that Rosie would be a horrible choice to host. Andy, come join us in the 21st century, where women have opportunities to emcee shows. Your thoughtless comments as of late are unnecessary.
BTW, I saw the Emmys and I did not see Rosie.
It’s definitely not TPiR, but Meredith Vieira does great on Millionaire.
I like Rosie, but I don’t feel TPIR is right for her to do full time. A lot of people watched the TPIR this last season because they could not stand her on the VIEW. I feel why this could be a big at first, things will slowly unravel. If Rosie becomes the “mastress of ceremonies” than I rather TPIR just end. It can always come back in a few years when you know you is hopefully no longer working for you know who. DAMN YOU ABC, REALEASE TOM!

This is incorrect.
- The Italian version – OK, Il Prezzo e Giusto! – has been hosted by several women.
- The UK version of Price has used male models – not exclusively, but they have used them.
On a side note, a close relative of mine remarked that Tom Bergeron would be a good host for the show, so…
I’m rooting for Mark Steines or Todd Newton. Mark would be a great host as would Todd Newton but they most likely not get the gig. But you never know. I still love Bob Barker and TPIR to bits and I always will.
I wouldn’t let Rosie host an online pool tourney.
Can I Just Host The Price Is Right And Get It Over With? lol…
i woudnt be surprized if Rosie trys to buy the show from fremantle. Rosie wants to make too much changes and if she don’t get her ways she wants to bail out. I dont mind a women host i liked the way Ricki Lake did Tpir it stuck to the format. Like i said i don’t mind set changes and a few prop changes but Rosie wants to do major changing get rid of the female models. Get rid of some pricing games. and im sure she would want to get rid of rich. Im fine with gays as a matter of fact im gay but i just dont want her to turn it in to a gay show. And i heard Ross the Intern would be the announcer i really hope shes lying
I throught Bob wanted Rich to host the show?
Bob, we all love you, but give us a break!
You know how we’ve all been agitated about the fact that Bob himself doesn’t actually have a say as to who will be his successor to TPIR…..
…after hearing this, for the first time, we might actually be grateful for that!
I thought Bob was exec producer.
Bob is so naive! Bob, Rosie will mess up your baby! I swear!
…. I rather have Mr. Yooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn be the host if CBS thinks for one moment Rosie will get the nod.
Will they have a rapping yodeler for Cliffhangers if Patrick Wayne joins the show, X?
I’m the Rapping Yodeler and I’m Here to Say
I’m Going Up the Mountain very fast today
Gonna Fall Off the Cliff, that’s really whack
Thoughts of Rosie hosting gives Price Fans a heart attack
Funny stuff BTG.
Every one of you who is bitching about Rosie, leave it to rest, ok? You havn’t given it a chance yet. At least she won’t be feuding with other people like on “The View”. So you never know could happen. She could turn out to be very good.
The best choice for host is on contract! I agree! RELEASE TOM! Please CBS buy out his contract!
I would rather see Oprah be the successor instead of Rosie.
