Jul 24 2007Drew Carey to host The Price Is Right

Drew Carey confirmed on David Letterman yesterday that he's officially going to be taking over for Bob Barker as host of "The Price Is Right". He told Letterman:
"It's a done deal. I'm the new host of "The Price Is Right.'"
Remember when they were considering Rosie O'Donnell to host? Man, they made the right decision. I'd actually watch Drew Carey on "The Price Is Right", whereas if it was Rosie I'd just spend the entire hour punching my TV to death. And Rosie? Well she'd spend the entire hour licking her fingers and struggling to breathe.

Jun 25 2007Rosie O'Donnell won't host The Price Is Right

Rosie O'Donnell has been in talks to replace Bob Barker as host of The Price is Right and even met with producers last week, but in a video posted late last night on her website she says she probably won't take the job because she doesn't want to move to LA. She says:
"Here's the thing. I don't really need a job. I'm in a weird position. I don't need the money. I know you're not allowed to talk about money in America, but I'm just saying I don't. So to get my entire family uprooted from their lives and move them across the country so that I can have a fantasy childhood indulgence job just doesn't seem fair. They all are in school, they have friends, we love their school, we love our community, our house, our life, our home. If they were able to do it in New York it would be a different story. But it looks like it ain't gonna happen."
I wouldn't move for a job either. They once asked me to move to Washington D.C. to be the President of the United States and I was all, "Pshh, that's like a six-hour flight. Screw that."
