O'Donnell says she's out of the running to replace Barker as 'Price Is Right' host at 15:34 on June 25, 2007, EDT.
NEW YORK (AP) - 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. Although 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 website. "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." O'Donnell lives in Nyack, N.Y., near New York City, with her partner, Kelli, and their four children. She recently left ABC's "The View" after a heated on-air squabble with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. "You know, if they were able to do it in New York, it would be a different story," O'Donnell says. "But it looks like it's - ain't gonna happen." Barker told reporters at the Daytime Emmy Awards he had "no doubt" that O'Donnell would make a fine host for the show. But Barker told The Associated Press last week he never meant to endorse any potential host and has no role in choosing his replacement. "The Price Is Right" is on hiatus until the new season starts in the fall. - CBS is a unit of CBS Corp.

I never thought she'd make a good replacement.

I'm glad she's not gonna be the host too. Her personality just doesn't fit a game show of any kind.....especially the mother of all game shows. They should get someone who has experience with hosting game shows rather than some big celebrity. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

I would do an internet protest kinda thing if she was on The Price Is Right.
I would write letters of anger to CBS, boycott the advertisers who advertise on that show..anything it took. I am so over Rosie, she is a pain in the ass..she has a big mouth and never shuts up! The Price Is Right, needs a class act kind of host, and Rosie is the bottom of the barrel. | |

I think the Price is Right may be done unless they revamp the prizes. Now it's all college students who go there for the novelty, having watched it their whole lives, and bidding on hideous furniture in the company of Bob. My Legacy

Bob Barker is going to be hard to replace. Bob has a more jovial personality. Onscreen he was a real gentleman. You don't see that much anymore. Offscreen...guess he was rather an ass. I'm firmly planted in denial | |

Yeah, furniture and gym equipment... It's funny as hell when younger people get the shitty showcase. I'm thinkin', they don't want that shit. I know I'd rather have the trips around the world and the cars. You still have to pay taxes on those cars though.....or any $600+ prize looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |
