Rosie Wants Price Is Right

[Conan71]

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.

[mr.jaynes]

Well, sure, but I don't think Charlton Heston is available, lol.

[Conan71]

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? []

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.

[mr.jaynes]

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.
