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.

46. JOHN O'HURLY ! (Spelling?)

And TPIR is not going to associate itself with a controversial loudmouth. It's image has always been squeeky-clean, middle americana.

48. If Rosie is hired to replace Bob, I will NEVER again watch!! She does not set the example for the type of person that should be in that position, any public position for that matters.

50. I agree this show is not right for Rosie. I know I wouldn't watch it. She needs to let up on the "gay" remarks because that has nothing to do with my decision to watch her. I think she is as obnoxious as Joan Rivers in my book. I could care less about her sexual preferences!

53. I thought only old people watched the price is right. That generation overwhelming believes women should behave with some sort of decorum. Rose will be a horrible shock to them. Very bad idea. I hate the show, think its unbelievably stupid so the thought of her hosting doesn't bother me a bit, I won't miss it by avoiding her disgusting visage. Also, she would be humiliated by causing the death of the long running tv staple. A plus for sure.

54. I WILL NEVER WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN IF SHE IS THE HOST!! THEY WILL RUIN THE SHOW FOR EVER

56. I think it would be funny to have Rosie on there. I'd be the first contestant with an "I heart George Bush" T-shirt on and watch her head start to spin around until it finally explodes...
