If she is hired, there goes the last time I'll ever watch the Price is Right. Why would CBS hire someone that would immediately turn off half the audience? Any of the four other choices (Newton et al) cited in this article would be a hundred times better, even J. Peterman.

I think we don't have to worry...hopefully.

I think he'll do as good as anybody could in that role, but it won't be the same, people will turn it off, and that'll be the end.
Frankly, I'm shocked they're continuing at all. | Kevintripod

Or let Bob hire his own replacement, with the caveat that it can't be Rosie.

| #11 Posted on 20.6.07 2259.13 | Instant Rating: 5.16 | That's my thoughts on the matter - the show's going to fail without Bob Barker. No matter who they get. I don't watch "The Price Is Right" because I like it, persay. I watch it because it's television comfort food. It's the show I watched when I was home sick from school, or at my Grandma's house during summer vacation, when I was a little kid. The same show - same set, same music, same games, same host. If you change any of that you've just got a dated game show about grocery prices. And I could care less.
So let Rosie do it. That's the only host being bandied about that I would at least be curious to check out once. But the show'll be gone by the end of next year regardless.
EDIT: Though now that I've read this, I may have to change my endorsement. I could almost see his version being, you know, good.

Price May Have Been Right for Rosie; L.A. Wasn't
Rosie O'Donnell has turned down an offer from The Price Is Right producers to host the show, according to FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman. Friedman reported today (Monday) that O'Donnell met with producers of the CBS game show on Thursday but refused to travel to Los Angeles, insisting that it be brought to New York or Miami, where she lives. "The location of the show -- Los Angeles -- was the deal-breaker," Friedman wrote. Separately, he added, ratings for The View have declined 13 percent since O'Donnell left. "Losing O'Donnell was an unmitigated disaster" for the network, he commented.
