Rosie -- Gimme Bob's Job Already!

Posted Jun 19th 2007 9:08AM by TMZ Staff

It might be far from a sure thing, but Rosie O'Donnell seems like she's all ready to come on down and be the next host of "The Price is Right."

The former "View" flamethrower tells her fan-inquisitors at rosie.com that she's meeting with CBS this week to talk about "TPIR," and that she's all set to go if CBS asks her to take over the skinny mike from Bob Barker, who ended his 30-year run last Friday. "If they asked me, I sure would ... I LOVE THE PRICE IS RIGHT," she wrote. Barker endorsed Ro as his replacement over the weekend.

Of course, not everyone is thrilled about Rosie potentially plying players with Plinko. One reader wrote that a petition had already started for a "50-state sponsor boycott" should Rosie be chosen, to which O'Donnell spat back, "The only thing I want to gay up is you."

One thing everyone can take comfort in: Rosie says she'd keep Barker's signature sign-off about spaying and neutering.

257. The world is going to pot as it is, you can't be serious that Rosie O' Donnell is even being considered for the job that the King of game show hosts Bob Barker, an American institution. Her shear presence will make me watch "The View: and I have never seen that show in my whole life. Save us from Rosie.

259. Rosie is much too controversial & opinionated to be the next host of TPIR. Quite frankly, I'm very tired of hearing about her, she seems to always want to be in someone's face about anything she disagrees with. I'd hate to stop watching the gameshow if Rosie takes over. I think I'd be physically sick if she gets the job!

260. If Rosie gets the Price Is Right. I will be watching the show. I think she would add a needed spark to the show. I have not watched the show in a long time.

261. If Rosie gets the Prices Right job, it will go down hill. Who's to say what she would say to these people. She needs to get out of show business, she is the worst. I can't stand her anymore. She's not GOD! Get a real life Rosie. If anyone is qualified for this job, it's Bob Barker, too bad you had to retire. She's a fat slob

262. What a mistake if they hire her!!! It's the only game show my son and I watch that we enjoy but we will STOP WATCHING if she's on it!!! Can't stand her loud, obnixious, opinionated voice. She's WRONG, WRONG, WRONG as host for that FAMILY show. She lost all her credibility with me by her behavior on The View.

263. What can they be thinking? Rosie would ruin the show. I am pulling for Todd Newton.
He has experience and is a good game show host!

268. I knew ROD was a tragic mistake for the View and even more so for TPIR. She cannot keep the original theme or concept without interjecting her own loud-mouthed, opinionated, pathetic, self-centered biased homo agenda. That is a family oriented game show not the farce that she will turn it into. Big,Big Mistake. But go ahead and don't say I didn't tell you so.

269. Rosie would not be suited to host "The Price is Right". Maybe they could bring back "Roller Derby" or let her host "Womens mud-wresting matches"... something more "befitting" her persona !
