I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: R. Lee Ermey on TPIR would be very amusing.
That would be absolutely brilliant.
Chuck Woolery?
I wonder if Barker’s Beauties will be replaced with Rosie’s Riveters.
How about…Ro’s Hos. (Sorry, I know that was very bad, but I couldn’t help it!)
So you’re saying that Rosie would be great?
Thanks for the correction. I thought TPIR still belonged to Goodson/Todman. I didn’t realize the same company owned the rights to both. I guess O’Hurley is a possibility, then.
This article speculates that they’d frontload a month’s worth of shows in 4 days of shooting, so neither she nor the show would have to move.
I don’t think she’d be a bad choice per se, but I think CBS would be most fearful of losing continuity–once she gets tired of it (a year? two?), she’d bail and then they’d have to find a new replacement much sooner than they’d prefer.
Also something very interesting about Barker from the article:
:eek:
I actually don’t think she’d be a bad choice either, in general.
She actually doesn’t bother me – her stridency and opinionated nature notwithstading. Apparently, that’s at least partly why she was chosen for The View. I’m just not sure what we’d see if she happened to be having a bad day or, in the long run, what she’d be like in a format like TPIR where only her personality and not her opinions is what counts.
I think for this reason, she’d get bored and bail within six months, myself.
ETA: Interesting article about Barker. Seems like he’s cutting off his nose to spite his face. I guess that’d match the “near-sneer” I always saw hovering there.
Before she became an angry nutwing, she had a very successful talk show where she was affable and fun and I could have totally seen her doing The Price Is Right.
And once upon a time, Michael Jackson was the hottest thing on earth. As they say, that was then, this is now.
She’ll still get headlines from time to time because her blog gives her the opportunity to continue putting her streams of consciousness out in the public domain. But her days as a mainstream anything (spokesman, entertainer, comedienne) are over.
Price is Right is where she belongs. This woman’s opinions are some of the most shrill, ignorant, jingoistic tripe ever spewed forth on television. She belongs hosting meaningless frivel to entertain bored housewives and the unemployed.
Biggest problem I see is when she hosts the supermarket item pricing game she’ll probably eat all the items before the contestant gets a chance to guess how much they are! 
Recent comments referring to her colleagues on The View as “backstabbing heteros” might be a problem.
Barker told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he never meant to endorse any potential host and has no role in choosing his replacement.
“I have not been asked for my opinion, nor have I expressed one,” Barker said. “I think there are several candidates who could do the show, and Rosie is certainly one of them.”
Jingoistic? Rosie? 
Yep. The biggest problem I see is her unprofessionalism, which I’m sure she would describe as being “real” and “honest.” But she gets in arguments with people, she alienates people, she is so incredibly inflexible and invested in her own POV that attempts to work with her break down and she ends up at best not fulfilling her contract (The View) and at worst embroiled in long expensive lawsuits (Rosie magazine). Either way, adverse publicity and controversy seem to follow.
The Price Is Right doesn’t want controversy. They don’t want to talk about the injustice of the lack of gay marriage or the travesty of the Iraq war. They want you to guess how much a six pack of Yoo-Hoo costs and to try to keep the yodeling moutaineer from falling off the cliff.
Rosie has too much baggage and she’s demonstrated her lack of people skills* and professionalism. I think she’d be a terrible choice.
- “People skills” with the people she actually works with or for, or who work for her; not the surface charm of playing to an audience.
“Come on down you filthy maggot, And play the price is fuckin right” lol
Does she not realize that hosting the show requires around 60 minutes of continuous standing? Is she able to do this? Will they let her have a chair?
Thirty-eight minutes, if you account for the commercials, in real time. 
What would make you think she couldn’t?
:rolleyes:
Please tell me you are not serious.
