PRICE FIXING Barker, O'Donnell
With the recent revelation that erstwhile View-er Rosie O'Donnell will meet with Price is Right producers this week following a ringing endorsement of her by Bob Barker, the big question now is not will Ro take over, but what changes she'll make when she does?
A few humble predictions:
• Rosie does away with the phallic microphone that graced Barker's hand for 35 years, replacing it with something a little more kid friendly.
• Barker's beauties are sent packing in favor of Rosie's Cutie Patooties.
• Plinko becomes Pinko, in honor of Rosie's ties to the communist party.
• The rules of Push Over are changed from having to push the numbers over to reveal that correct price of a prize to having to push Rosie over for a prize.
• A new game debuts: Spin the Wheel of 9/11 Truths.
• Rosie signs off the show with a new version of Barker's PSA: Help control the conservative population, have your Republican friends spayed or neutered.
