“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.
