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
