Bob Barker says Rosie O'Donnell could replace him

>> 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.

"She knows the show," he said. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know. I've never heard that discussed. As far as I know, they've only auditioned men." <<

Last time I looked up "obnoxious" in the dictionary, there were accompanying pictures of Rosie and Donald Trump.

But the article has and suggest no political overtones

And how could it? I suppose the host could blame a too high price on the current (or even past) administration in his/her comments but don't think it would be wise to add political commentary on an inane game show. Politics is inane enough all on it's own. Wink

Playful criticism, ribbings, etc. are generally tolerated...depending on skin thickness of your "victim". Enjoy!
