Living legend, Bob Barker, who retired last week after hosting The Price is Right for 35 years, is endorsing Rosie O’Donnell to take his place on the 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.
Are they kidding me? Do they really think that the people who watch The Price is Right are going to want this uber-liberal, lesbian to host their show?
I don’t know…maybe they do. What kind of people watch daytime game shows?
But if they don’t want her spouting truther nonsense in between spins of the wheel, (or whatever they do) they might want to have it written into her contract, that she keep her political opinions to herself. And even then, I think it would be too hard for her to restrain herself.
Bad, bad idea!

I can’t imagine that, actually I can’t imagine price without bob.

I haven’t watched that show for years, but my in-laws watched in all the time. Having someone like Rosie take over fills my head will all kinds of strange scenarios. Bad idea.

So bad it’s disturbing.

Bob was a very very pleasant guy with a wry sense of humor.
I think you kinda need that for this show. Rosie got none o that.
There’s a reason most folks have an aversion to angry people. Angry people are often very disturbed people.
Exception for righteous anger.

Actually, I think it’d be kinda cool for Rosie to make the mountain climber game (do they still play that?) into a live action version, with her in flannel lederhosen and a thunderous yodel pealing from her blowhole.
