Bob Barker endorsed his friend Rosie O'Donnell as a possible successor on The Price Is Right, although the newly retired host is not 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."

Barker said his friendship with O'Donnell goes back several years, when she had him as a guest on her old daytime talk show.

"She told me she loved The Price Is Right and wanted to host it one day," he recalled.

Among those mentioned as possible replacement hosts have been Todd Newton of the E! network, Mark Steines of Entertainment Tonight, George Hamilton and John O'Hurley.

Barker retired last week at age 83 after 35 years of giving away vacations and cars on the hit CBS game show. But he said he may be back with some specials featuring vintage clips and guests.
 
Right now, CBS isn't sure about Roise. They got bad feel about it.

Man, I liked rosie better when she wasn't so... I can't find the bloody word, I just know she's damn annoying, arrogant and just plain blah. When she was family-friendly things were ok.

She tends to change her views frequently and makes biased decisions. That's not something we want from a game show host.

I remember one of Rosie's talk shows where she gave one of the worse Who Wants To Be A Millionaire losers... a car.
 
Bingo! However, if CBS is smart enough finding right person, and should not try to replicate Bob Barker, or they are asking for backfire. Bob Barker is indeed forever Legend.
