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

Bob Barker by Tony Esparza/CBS; Rosie O'Donnell by Donna Svennevik/ABC

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"?
