Rosie O'Donnell -- come on down?
Miami Herald ^ | 6/13/2007 | Staff

Posted on 06/13/2007 5:57:57 AM PDT by GFritsch

Rosie O'Donnell isn't giving up on her Price Is Right dreams, reports E!Online.

The former View cohost says she's still talking to the game show's higher-ups about replacing Bob Barker as host.

While speaking with Ross ''The Intern'' Mathews in a video posted on her blog, O'Donnell says she's ``begging on a daily basis.''

''I still send them e-mails every day,'' O'Donnell says.

If she gets the job, O'Donnell wants Mathews to be the announcer. ''This would make The Price Is Right a very big show again,'' she says.

Mathews jumped on the idea. ''For free, I would do it,'' he says.

But even O'Donnell admits that it's a ''slim chance'' she'll land the gig.

''They have to want me, I've learned,'' she said.

Barker ended his 35-year run on the show last week when he taped his last episode. However, he has said he would return in the fall on a temporary basis if a new host isn't found by then.

Meanwhile, O'Donnell has been busy making appearances at stops on the True Colors Tour, a nationwide tour featuring performances by Cyndi Lauper, Rufus Wainwright and Margaret Cho, among others. One dollar of every ticket sold will benefit the Human Rights Campaign

''They have to want me, I've learned,'' she said.

Fat chance.

One sponsor, however, is interested in Rosie getting the nod: Snap-On-Tools.

I thought they didn’t want the host hitting on the girls anymore.

The first contestants should try to guess Rosie’s weight without going over it.
350? 380??
Then they should try her I.Q.
72? 64??

If they want to kill the show off forever, that would be the way to do it.

That loudmouth leftist nutcase should never be seen on television ever again.

I’ve always thought that “Bob Barker” would be a good name for a chihuahua.

Neither high enough, nor low enough.

Rosie's breathing MUST be impeded. Both because she would have trouble remembering to breath, and because of the sheer physical exertion required.

I’m working on a new game show concept called “Slap the Pig”; I wonder if she would be interested in hosting that?

Really? If that's the case, I'll be sending them a photo of all my snap on tools being melted down. In fact, knowing that they support that thing means I'll never buy another snap on tool. What a disgusting thought, those snap on tool girls replaced by Rosie... Yuckk!!

If TPIR hires Rosie, they’d have to change the name of its most beloved game: “You’re gonna play PINKO!!”

''I still send them e-mails every day,'' O'Donnell says.

Some would call that harassment and stalking.

I guess she’s anxious to appear on a tv show where SOMETHING is right.

If it’s a ‘fat’ chance Rosie’s in.

Actually the tools are especially developed for lesbians. Billy Jean King has a set (of tools that is) and uses them when she’s with her buds.
