Have I heard this before?
She would overwhelm the show. Bob Barker was a soft spoken gentlemen with a great sense of humor and sharp wit. The last thing they need is a an obnoxious, overbearing, bully.
Your secret is safe.

Rosie O'Donnell, like a lot of talented people, has some adjustment issues. It is obvious from all the furor lately that she is going through a bad patch, and I would suspect she will be making some interesting decisions until she gets control of herself again.
Those of us who were born with calmer minds and easier lives should have a little sympathy. We use these people for our entertainment and should respect that which makes them different, and the struggles creativity can put on an artist.
That having been said, I think the Price Is Right would be wrong for her, and her for it.
What I fail to understand is how any person's political beliefs entitles us to denigrate them in a free country. This is neoMcCarthyism at its worst. In the early 1950s we allowed the original McCarthy and his syncophants to ruin people like Paul Robeson and Charles Chaplin based on their political beliefs, and shame on us for being so weak principled.
Today we are doing it again. Look what happened to the Dixie Chicks. What is it about extremists right and left that makes them feel entitled to attack creative people merely because they disagree? Are we Nazis?
Should Tom Selleck and Charlton Heston be run out of Hollywood for supporting the NRA? What on Earth does that have with entertainment?
Please, examine your conscience. This kind of question is symptomatic of the intolerant and viscious climate created by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter and the new witch hunters of the extreme right. It would be equally unacceptable from Michael Moore or Al Franken on the left.
We can be better than that. We'd better, because a house divided cannot stand, and we have enemies. It is past time for Americans of all beliefs to remember we came here for freedom of thought in the first place, before we lose it.

If Rosie hosts Price is Right, I think that it will be the final curtain on a long and successful running game show. Look at what happened to the CBS Evening news since Katie Couric became news anchor.

If a gay contestant gets the price wrong. She would scream about how Bush did 9/11 and how the show is bias against gays.
In short have a meltdown on stage.
I don't think the producers of "The Price is Right" won't like that to happen.

God, I hope not.
No matter how much Bob Barker supports her, she's not the right fit for that job.
And she's such a lightning rod now, every nut job would be pushing her buttons when they got on stage or in contestant's row.
My money is on John O'Hurley. He's a perfect fit for that job.

Didn't they already have a problem with the host hitting on the models on stage?

haha nice. the right can have her as far as i am concerned. that 'woman' annoys all she reaches with her crazy rants and loud and annoying voice. i can only imagine how many people will stop watching that show if she is the host.
but hey, if she does, maybe we can get Adam Sandler to punch her in the face too.

I think that is great! And yes, as a game show host, she would be viewed in the appropriate perspective, that of frivolous entertainment.

I think the advertisers would protest and therefore, would be no prizes to win! Advertisers want the largest audience they can get and if people stop watching, they would stop donating prizes.
