Report: Bob Barker Thinks Rosie Isn't Right for Price

Among the rumblings regarding Rosie O'Donnell's après-
View plans is that she might front a game show - and that she's particularly hot to take over
The Price Is Right. Bob Barker, though, apparently would sooner encourage unprotected sex amongst cats and dogs than have his Johnston & Murphys filled by the egregious gabber. A source tells the New York
Daily News that while
TPIR execs
are lukewarm about George Hamilton, Mark Steines and Todd Newton (the finalists in the hosting derby), Barker "is adamant that Rosie not get the gig." Perhaps afraid the show's catchphrase might become, "Susie Derkins, come on
out"?
