Rosie: ‘Price Is Right’ is wrong

Rosie O’Donnell, don’t bother to come on down! The former host of “The View’s” bid to replace Bob Barker as the host of “The Price Is Right” is apparently over, according to a Monday posting on her website.

After meeting with representatives for the show last week, O’Donnell reported that a requirement to move to Los Angeles proved to be the deal breaker. O’Donnell lives outside of New York City with her partner and their four children.

O’Donnell, who had made little secret of her desire to take over one of daytime’s top-rated programs, said she’d even offered to tape four shows a day in L.A. but was told that was “impossible.” She added that the show wouldn’t change cities either.

CBS officials declined to comment on O’Donnell’s blog posting. The network has tried out nearly a dozen hosts but has not picked a new face for the franchise show.
