http://www.dailygazette.com [b]TOOTING ROSIE’S HORN 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 N e w t o n 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. [b]

I clearly would not watch it with her, but I was thinking that if she did have to be on any show, that would be the best. Ya know, when the contestants are more excentric acting than the host/ess. I don't know though, how she would do with all of those beautiful girls around. Even Bob got into a little snag scandal there.

Personally, they could can the show tomorrow and it wouldn't phase me one way or the other. Actually, that is what I thought was going to happen after Bob Barker retired.

THANKS BUT NO THANKS Rosie O’Donnell says she’s out of the running to replace Bob Barker as host of “The Price Is Right.” O’Donnell, a superfan of the CBS game show, said on her blog Friday that she had a “nice lunch” with the show’s producers. Barker, 83, retired earlier this month after 35 years with the show, which is filmed in Los Angeles. A l t h o u g h O’Donnell has said she would love to fill Barker’s shoes, the 45-year-old comedian has changed her mind. “Well, here’s the thing: I don’t really need a job,” O’Donnell says in a video posted Sunday on her Web site. “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.”

Good for her....maybe she could go visit Ms.Paris and "show her the way"(The Rosie Way)...oooohhhh.....

An Internet poll sponsored by NewsMax.com reveals that by an overwhelming margin, Americans do not want Rosie O’Donnell back on the air with a national TV show.
What’s more, three-quarters say they would go so far as to boycott major advertisers of any new Rosie show.
O’Donnell left ABC’s “The View” amid controversy in late May. There had been talk she wanted to become the next host of “The Price Is Right,” but she announced in late June that she would not get the job. According to our poll, that outcome bodes well for the future of the game show.
Close to 100,000 Americans voted in the NewsMax poll. NewsMax will provide the results of this poll to major media and share them with radio talk-show hosts across the country.
Here are the poll questions and results:
1) Should the big networks give Rosie a national TV show?
Yes: 11 percent No: 89 percent
2) What is your overall opinion of Rosie?
Favorable: 8 percent Unfavorable: 90 percent No opinion: 2 percent
3) Do you believe Rosie is engaging in a publicity stunt when she says the 9/11 attacks were staged by the U.S. government?

The long-awaited answer to the biggest question in daytime television is "Who will take over the 'The Price Is Right'?"
The new host answered that question Monday night on "The Late Show With David Letterman," almost as an afterthought.
"It was like 15 minutes ago, they called me, it's a done deal," comedian Drew Carey said. "I'm the new host of 'The Price Is Right.'"
Carey takes on the daunting task of trying to fill the void left by the legendary Bob Barker.
Barker retired last month after 35 years, but only after making "The Price Is Right" the longest-running game show in American history.
Carey, 49, is well known to television audiences from the ABC hit that bore his name and the comedy improve show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
The choice ends an awful lot of speculation, including the rumor that the controversial former co-host of "The View" Rosie O'Donnell would become the new host. But ultimately CBS decided Carey was the one who should "come on down."
Asked whether he found the prospect of replacing such a TV legend daunting, Carey told Letterman about talking to a friend who knows the game-show business and told him, "As long as Bob Barker is cool with it, the fans will be cool with it."
"I'm cool with it," Barker told The Associated Press after hearing Carey's remarks.
The two have never met, but Barker offered some advice for Carey: "Go out there and do that show the way you think it should be done. Don't imitate me and don't imitate anyone else."
