Bob Barker endorsed his friend Rosie O'Donnell as a possible successor on "The Price Is Right," although the newly retired host isn't sure CBS wants a woman to take over the game show.
"I believe they're going to have a meeting with Rosie," Barker said backstage Friday night at the Daytime Emmy Awards, where he won his 19th trophy.
"She knows the show," he said. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know. I've never heard that discussed. As far as I know, they've only auditioned men."
Barker said his friendship with O'Donnell goes back several years, when she had him as a guest on her old daytime talk show.
"She told me she loved `The Price Is Right' and wanted to host it one day," he recalled.

Stick a fork in it, the Price is right is finished.
I wonder if she ever auditioned for one of Barker’s Beauties.
I fear that if this happens, changes will have to be made in the rules. For example, if a contestant bids very badly, Rosie will bite off a body part.
Bob Barker is insane.
I’ve lost all respect for Bob Barker.
Rosie: Jane Doe, come on down! Okay, Jane. Now you have to guess the prices on the following items. The one that comes the closest without going over, wins. Now, how much did Haliburton bribe Cheney to allow no-bid contracts? What price did Bush put on each and every head of 655 thousand Iraqis? And how much did it cost Bush to bribe the 9/11 commission into claiming that fire melted steel?
Not exactly an endorsement for the difficulty of the job eh Bob?
I’d love to see Rosie dropped onto a giant Plinko board.
Welcome to FR!
Well, if they’re determined to put her on TV (and that’s what the network execs seem to be saying they intend to do)...then I think the Price is Right is a much better place for her than some talk show.
At least on a game show, there’s no time for political commentary (at least I hope there’s not, I’m not a big game show watcher, and haven’t seen the Price is Right in years.)
There isn’t enough money for Rosie’s “price is right”.
Just to sue when they laugh her off the stage at the audition?
No but I'm sure that she will involved in screening them....personally!
You mean you had some left after the fiasco from a few years back?
Great place for her. I don’t watch games shows or reality shows either!
Why not Katie Couric? She’s a big wacko lib too!
She would last one show! Or the show would.
