Among others considered are John O'Hurley and George Hamilton. Personally, I'd like to see O'Hurley get it, but Hamilton's permanent tan would look more like Bob Barker. [;)]

I think O'Hurley would be good. Hamilton would be good if they want to keep the show another 5-10 years (since he's in his 70's)
Rosie is a horrible fit for the part. Like putting Robin Williams on Jeopardy.
Robin Williams on Jeopardy, wow. That's a thought.
Anyone but Rosie. They have to be careful as any replacement risks ruining the legendary reputation of the show and watching it melt away.
No women on the Price Is Right period.....If they want to kill it hire Rosie.....Who wants to see that much flannel in an audience....

Perhaps Ricardo Montalban would make a good host, using that logic-and by the way, I do think that O' Hourley and Hamilton are good suggestions, sgrizzle (fa shizzle).
Rosie? No. Not a good idea. If they want a comic in the host position, how about someone like Elayne Boosler, or Jenny Jones?
Not to be sexist, but I think you nix some of the spirit of the show if you don't have a grey-haired man surrounded by swimsuit models. That put you up there with Hugh Hefner on best ways to be a grandpa.
Well, sure, but I don't think Charlton Heston is available, lol.
Though it would have given me pleasure to see Adam Sandler clock Rosie in the chops.
"The price is wrong Rosie!"

Lesbians wear flannel. At least that is the stereo type. Rosie is a lesbian, a fat "bull dyke" type lesbian even (can I say bull dyke? Bull dike). Thus, Rosie would wear flannel. Likewise, her lesbian legion would wear flannel to the Price is Right. The stereo type image would be many lesbians in flannel, presumably of the same girth as Rosie, and no one wants to see that.
Did I kill the joke? [:P]

No woman, if it has to be a woman let it be Ellen, she makes me chuckle. Doogie would be fine with me. Or the Seinfeld guy. Hell, for one month have a different host each week and pick the best one.

Geez at least spell your stereotypes correctly - it's bull dyke.
How about a different host each day? Like SNL, if someone has a movie or TV show to promote, they can host "Price" to do just that.
I thought those who wore flannel were either:
1) lumberjacks;
2) people who live in really cold climates;
3) rockers feeling nostalgic for Seattle grunge.
Actually, I think Rosie would be good for the Price is Right. Based on a couple reasons:
1. I liked Rosie years ago when she was first getting started doing standup comedy. She used to be on a VH1 standup comedy show and was always funny. I think the Price is Right could use a little comedy infusion from Rosie.
2. I would like to think the Price is Right isn't ripe for political comments, thus it might muzzle Rosie while on TV. I think it would be hard to play all the games they do to win prizes and have her infuse her views on politics at the same time. If she tried, it would kill the show.

Well, Bob Barker always used the closing comments to remind us to have our pets spayed or neutered - Rosie might do something similar except "And remember to always question your government's involvement in terrorist disasters!" But I doubt it.
Oh, and whoever said she's a bull dyke, I don't think so. She's not a bull dyke, but she's not a lipstick lesbian, either. She's just run of the mill lesbian - more of a power lesbian really. Like Suze Orman.

....or Lily Tomlin.
I don't care much for OHurley; he should stick with the current incarnation of "Family Feud" where he is now.
I think they should give the job to an unknown. Audition new younger talent, and pick the best one. As long as the TPIR format remains the same and they keep a mix of the old familiar games with an occasional new one, any competent, likeable host will probably succeed. R. ODonnell? Absolutely not!
Give it to Mr. T!
Mr. T found Jesus and got a reality show a while back. Wow, it was bad. Horribly bad. In fact, I watched in 2 times because it was SO bad it made me embarrassed for him. Wow. Nightmares.
I dont think he could hack it.

Agreed. Mr. T (and Kirk Cameron) is a staple of Paul & Jan Crouch's TBN "christian" programming now, broadcast ch. 17 in Tulsa. Oh, how the mighty have fallen ...
The producers for the show should really consider their audience. I don't think it's a Rosie type audienct.
What does anyone think about Tom Bergeron as host?
Someone suave and sophisticated. How about Roger Moore?
Sean Connery... the one on celebrity jeopardy.
The only show I can see Rosie hosting would be The Jerry Springer Show. She could have Ricki Lake as a Co Host and if the show would become boring, her and Ricki could always have a Jello Wrestling bout. [8D]
I read the Drew Carey is the frontrunner for the spot now.
I'm never eating Jello again....[:O]
According to Perez, The Price offered the show to Rosie and she turned it down because they wanted her to re-locate to LA, which she does not want to do.

OK, so Rosie's out. Who else could we put in there to do the job?

How about SNL's Darrell Hammond?
