CBS and RTL are in the process of auditioning for a new host.
On December 8, 2006, CBS began official host auditions, with CBS weatherman Dave Price from The Early Show becoming the first candidate. Two additional sessions were held in January 2007, with one hosted alternately by Todd Newton and John O'Hurley and the other emceed by Doug Davidson (who hosted the 1994–1995 syndicated version). Former Beauty and the Geek host Mike Richards, George Hamilton, Mario Lopez, and Entertainment Tonight host Mark Steines auditioned in March 2007. Hamilton, Steines and Newton are reportedly the finalists to be Barker's successor Rosie O'Donnell was also briefly mentioned as a possibility, but is not under consideration. On June 18, 2007 Variety reported that actor Ian Ziering, whose ex-wife Nikki Ziering was featured as a "Barker's Beauty" from 1999-2002, is the most recent candidate to audition. All past contestants may participate in the host audition tapings, and only cash bonuses will be paid. If a player eligible to be a contestant at the time of these tapings appears on these special tapings, they remain eligible to be on the regular show. Ineligible players who have appeared on the show in the past may participate and win the cash bonuses.[

Bob Barker backs Rosie O'Donnell for 'The Price is Right'
POSTED: 4:57 p.m. EDT, June 16, 2007 cnn.com
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."
They have also talked about Mario Lopez and a few other stars.

He already has a show that will be starting soon. I heard a rumor that Mario Lopez is a possibility, as is Rosi O'Donnell - another hopeful is John O'Hurley (he was Elaine's boss on Seinfeld).
Of the three, I would like to see Mario every day in a nice suit and NOT Rosi - John O'Hurley is already doing Family Feud.
Just as long as it is NOT NOT NOT NOT Bob Saget - I hate him and would NEVER NEVER watch the show again if he takes over.

No, I was thinking maybe Tom Cruise would pick up where good Ol Bob Barker left off. Mark C is no good and would not be a good fit unfortunately. However T Cruise would be a great fit.

I haven't heard, but if Rosie makes it the ratings will go way down & that would be a shame after all these years that the show has been on!!!

I think Bob Saget or Regest Fieldburg would be good. Sorry I missed spelled the names.

I really like Mark Consuelos, but I think he'd be a little too laid back to be a game show host. Kind of like Clooney was too laid back to be Batman.
