Yes - I heard this on Nancy Grace. [/quote]

Just curious if there's another source other than the Wicked Witch of the South breying about this. (or was it on their little news ticker?) I've come to the point where I generally assume the opposite of whatever that shreiking harpy may claim or state.

It wasn't Grace herselg discussing it.  She was hosting a roundtable on Rosie's quitting The View.  A male Hollywood gossip columnist countered the claim Rosie is washed up with the announcement that Rosie has been talking with CBS for about two weeks now for her own daytime talker CBS wants to air opposite The View.

[Steve Gavazzi]

Oh, a gossip columnist!  Well, that sure lends an air of credence to the whole thing!

And Adam, Bob was saying at tapings this past week that reruns will definitely be airing at least into October.

EDIT:  And now that I think about it, what the hell is a Hollywood gossip columnist doing on Nancy Grace?  I might well have my facts wrong, as I don't have Headline News, but I was under the impression that that was some kind of legal program.

A better question to ask is, what the hell is Nancy Grace still doing on the air?  Oh, right, the windbags that actually think she's credible are watching her. Sigh.

ObGameShow: I don't see CBS giving Rosie a shot in a prestigious time slot like this. No way.

That time slot is gonna get a *lot* less prestigious in the next few months.

Agreed. It will lose its luster so to speak, but any show is better than no show at all.

Or, rumors about Rosie being in discussions with CBS and NBC could be one big cunard to draw attention from the fact that she no longer has a show.

Actually, I think Barker reruns could go on for years.
I haven't watched TPIR since Barker's ego got bigger than the show around the early '90s.
The only thing that could get me to watch again would be a new host, but it's possible that CBS intends to just run Barker reruns indefinitely.  They might get higher ratings than a new host would, and would be cheaper (I assume).
[/quote]

Wow. A BB hater. Well, to each his own, but would you care to explain
the differences between the BB of the 1970's and '80s, and the one post
early '90s? What is it about him that makes it uncomfortable to watch? In any case, I dare say the reason for TPIR's huge
popularity is due in part to Bob's "ego".

Yes, because anyone who offers an opinion you disagree with is a hater. Riiiiiight.

FWIW, I find that Barker has become extremely cranky and irritable with contestants. Some cases, rightfully so, but as a game show host on a show like Price, it's not asking a lot to be patient with the contestants. And from a few Price insiders, he really has gotten a swollen ego since then, esp. with his EP title.

Yes, you'll find quite a few of them here, where people are allowed to think that Barker isn't actually the end-all-be-all of game show hosts. Better get used to the idea.

What Brandon said, and: He can't do the friggin' job anymore. For the last five years or so, he frequently screws up, throws his hands in the air, and yells "So you win anyhow!" And then all of the Barker fanb0is bounce up and down in their chairs, completely snowed that something happened that wouldn't have, were he competent.

In any case, I dare say the reason for TPIR's huge popularity is due in part to Bob's "ego".

I dare say the average Price viewer has no idea about Barker's ego.

[NickintheATL]

I frequently tell people I talk to that I have never thought for one iota that Barker is the best host of all time.  I also say that I thought he should have retired years ago (around 2000 seemed about right).  Then, I get asked, who is a better host?  I always say I think Bill Cullen was the best, to which I usually get, "Who?"

How quickly the public forgets...

What would you call fishbulb's opinion of Barker, then? Neutral?!


He has to keep the show going at a reasonable pace. Some contestants hem and haw their way through things. For example, contestants bidding on the IUFB who take their sweet time deciding on an amount.


Examples of Bob's "swollen ego", please?

Wow. Project much?

Just how frequently has Bob screwed up, resulting in a "So you win anyhow!"? It's not like it's every week, or month, for that matter. Excrement happens. People mess up every once in a while, no matter the age of the person. Deal with it.

And by all means, please enlighten the masses. Tell us about Bob's dastardly ego, which simply must not go unchallenged.

It's all a moot point anyway. Bob is about to ride off into the sunset after 50 glorious and successful years in the biz.

[tpirfan28]

The reason Janice and Kathleen were unjustly fired, which was for possibly testifying against Barker in the Holly Hallstrom wrongful termination case.

Someone will come along and correct that...because I'm not 100% positive about that.
