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.

Why not hire her. It's a good bargain.

They'll get her for two-bits.

There’s no fool like and old fool.

Is there a Conservative Candidate to replace Barker?

[Farmer Dean]

Me too,with gators in the 1000 dollar slots.

[MarineDad]

Way too much pay for such talent...

[DManA]

Be sure to spay your bitches.

Please, warn us first before posting such pictures. Some of us are quite sensitive. ;)

Only one peg and she’d be sure to avoid it. :-)

Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know.

Not a problem...Rosie's no lady.

Rules change: The contestant who bids closest on the speed that WTC7 collapsed, without going over, gets to be in the Showcase.

So Barker thinks her sex is the problem? Like it’s still 1950? How about her radically insane anti-americanism, Bob? How about her over-the-top gay activism, Bob? Sad to see a former naval fighter-pilot go completely senile lie this. At what temperature does burning jet fuel melt a game-show host’s reputation?

[Burr5]

or “like”. whatever.

Barker has a brain filled with Bank-Run gravel.

As long as big mouthed Rosie sticks to the game and doesn't pontificate the way she did in THE VIEW, I guess it might work.

Her own show was OK until she opened her big trap one day and tried to opine about every policy issue she knows very little about... THAT was when her show got into trouble.

[rbosque]

One idiot replacing another. Even trade.

[SerpentDove]

Come on, he has to be joking. It seems like it to me, anyway.

[Signalman]

A show FOR morons, being hosted BY a moron.

I think it will work.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Two words:

senile dementia.

Where is the barf alert?
