Rosie -- Gimme Bob's Job Already!

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.

31. #18 Abby-maybe Rosie doesn't care if Pieta watches or not, but if enough people protest, it won't happen. Absolutely sponsers keep track of who's saying what about Rosie, so if you don't want her on, post it. You may be heard.

32. I will NEVER watch The Price Is Right again if they give it to Rosie. I think CBS is making a big mistake for even considering her.

33. I can't believe they would even consider Rosie for the Price is Right. She ruins everything she touches. I finally got to start watching The View again and love it again. Rosie needs to just go to the house. It's not like she needs the money. She just makes it a show of her opinion and really.....WHO CARES.

35. Rosie ?----uck--- Bob with his court case for sexual charge. Case close. Bob had his nose up some one Butt and got away with it.

Rosie will hit on any good looking women. and she will get away with it if there is a case.

If she is picked there is enough to Leave the program.

36. Anybody listen to what she siad about not returning to the "View"? She wanted to be home for the kids? She didnt wnat to spend too much time away from the kids? At least with teh View she was done with work before noon. Now she's willing to work in California? Is she going to move her entire family to California, making it a 6 hour flight to her home in Florida not 2 hours? Hear anybody jump on that inconsistency? I'm all for the 50 state boycot.

37. Rosie on TPIR would totally suck! Don't do it CBS, don't do it!!!

38. If Rosie becomes the next host of TPIR, the world will come to an end. I can't believe Bob ruined his legacy by recommending someone like her. Both of them can take a long walk off a short pier.

Boycott Kandahar Rosie!!!

40. They would have to change the Plinko game to PINKO. Who the crap wants to see her fat headed blubbery ass on the Price is Right.

41. What about the military folks in the audience? They'd hate her. Plus, she'd be so bored keeping to the theme of the show... what is she thinking? The show was never about BOB or his views... Except that last line of each show. Rosie would try to make everything about her. She's so narcissistic- she'd shout down old ladies and be rude to anyone needing one second of air time.

42. If she hosted, I would stop watching. She is too loud mouthed and harsh.

43. TPIR is not political. It is all about fun and Ro loves to make people happy. Remember how she started The View serving juice and cookies to the audience and giving away gifts from sponsors. She also gave the whole audience tickets to her cruise...HELLO????
Do all you haters just watch fox news??? The View never gave away anything before she came on. Rosie would take it out of her own pocket and with her cruise...she did just that!!!
Wake up people. All the men they have in mind so far will only be a puppet. Rosie has great ideas for the show and ways to honor Barker. She is the best! As Rosie says....CONFETTI PLEASE!!!! YEA!!!

44. THIS has got to be a JOKE...she is a loud, obnoxious person with issues...Bob Barker is the greatest....Rosie will just screw it up like she did The View.....


She talks tough and then doesn't have the balls to complete her stay on the show...

WHINER !!!!!!!

45. Rosie would be great for the show. From watching when she had her own show, she loves game shows. Rosie does bring new life to a show. The View was evidence.

I don't know why people think she would "gay" it up. It's a game show -- not a talk show. No wonder this country has a problem with racism, etc. when you read some idiot IMO is trying to start a boycott across the nation. These people who say they hate gays -- they would be so surprised to learn that some of their closest friends are gay. Egg on their face!!!!

I'm sure if she got it, she would suggest like she did on the View, and the players that did not get a chance to play on stage, would get a prize too. That would be a positive improvement.

People have a hard time accepting change. They would live very dull lives if everything stayed same old, same old. I would watch the show again, as as much as Bob Barker was good at his job -- 35 years to too long. To me that was same old, same old & boring. The show is in need of a 'makeover'.

Rosie gets credit for her View stay in that she got a nation talking. Whether it was in agreement or not -- at least it got people's attention and got discussions going instead of just being couch potatos. Hopefully people still do when it comes time for the election.

What would be great to see is them doing a few special shows where it would be an audience of kids. Rosie too would be excellent for that. It could be arranged and have a child involved from the Make a Wish Foundation. Wouldn't that firstly be a powerful ratings draw and the child would be over the moon excited!!!!
