Barker Says O'Donnell Could Replace Him
Please tell me this is a joke:
LOS ANGELES (AP) - 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.
So from attempting to bully and shout down the lone conservative on "The View", Rosie might move to "The Price is Right"? What's she going to do, say idiotic things like "Never in the history of 'The Price is Right has the big wheel landed on $1.00 twice in a row!" and accuse the contestants of being involved in a conspiracy?
I like Bob Barker, and his cameo in Happy Gilmore demonstrated that in addition to being a nice guy, he had a good sense of humor about himself. But if he's seriously endorsing Rosie O'Donnell as a host for "The Price is Right" I have to wonder whether senility is catching up with him. Ugh!
