Rosie Turns Down 'Price;' 'View'-ers Turn Down Show


Rosie O’Donnell has passed on an offer to host “The Price is Right.”

After meeting with CBS executives and weighing a substantial offer on Thursday, she decided that she just couldn’t move to Los Angeles from New York, where the show is shot.

That was the deal breaker for Rosie, and apparently, no amount of money could change that!

Moving across the country would just be too much for Rosie, 45, and her four young kids with wife Kelli, 40.

“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,” Rosie said on her video blog.

Meanwhile, the co-hosts she left behind on “The View” are seeing a huge decline in their popularity.

The ABC show has lost over 400,000 viewers since Rosie left.

Fox News pulled figures from the Nielsen ratings system and determined that the show “sank like a stone” during the first two weeks of June, right after Rosie packed her bags.

Rosie is a funny stand-up comedian.She is in her right place being on the road where we can choose to listen to her or not. YOU NEED TO BE EDUCATED,RATIONAL AND BE ABLE TO BACK YOUR STATEMENTS WITH FACTS TO COME ACROSS AS AN INTELLIGENT DEBATER.THAT MAKES YOU CAPABLE OF DEFENDING YOURSELF AS WELL AS MAKING IT LESS LIKELY TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD.

I think Rosie’s decision not to host the price is right is a good one. Most mom’s do not want to pick up and move if they don’t have to. Good parents try and not disrupt the lives of their children and Rosie is a good mom! Besides I think that show needs a single person anyways or better yet since some many people were upset that Barker left maybe they should just cancel it and put a good show in its place! And, as far the the View goes, they did lose ratings when Rosie left and probably won’t get them back unless they maybe hire Whoopie to take her place. They need another person to shut Elizabeth up when she starts babbling about her stupid republican nonsense!

I believe Rosie is telling her usual lies.The Price Is Right did not think Rosie was worth the money.Rosie thinks highly of herself.She monopolizes the show as if she is the only one worth listening to.Maybe now she can read and see how she really is—arrogant,hateful and close minded,disrespectful and ignorant.

We’re glad she “turned it down” She shouldn’t even have a show. I’m not normall this mean or blunt, but she really pissed off my entire town. My father was a POW. And he died over there. So her direspectful comments can just send her and her career to he%$. She is never going to get out respect back. Bc we know that whatever scheme she comes up with to cover her you know what, she will not truely mean it. We think the real reason she turned it down is bc she knows the rating would be crappy. Bc no one has the same respect or admiration for her anymore.

Rosie tried to take over the show. ANyone who get in her way… she would harass. She doesn’t deserve a show period. Even if she apologized she would not get my respect back.

ROSIE MADE THE SHOW. I STOPPED WATCHING AFTER THAT INCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT BELIEVE A SHOW THAT HAD BARBARA WALTERS BEHIND IT WOULD TREAT HER HOSTS LIKE THEY WERE ON JERRY SPRINGER WITH THAT SPLIT SCREEN! SHAME, SHAME! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? ROSIE IS A GREAT SHOW HOST, I THINK ELIZABETH NEEDS A TIME OUT. EVERYONE IS TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT HER FEELINGS ABOUT PRESIDENT BUSH. IS THIS NOT AMERICA, WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO MAKE UP OUR OWN MINDS ABOUT WHICH PARTY TO SUPPORT AND NOT HAVE IT PUSHED DOWN OUR THROATS, TELL ELIZABETH TO STOP WHINING!

If Rosie made the show how come so many people dislike her? IF they lost ratings it’s because of the respect Barbara Walters lost by keeping her on the show.

I think Rosie O’Donnell ruined the View for me long ago. I quit watching because the show is combative, and the argument between Rosie and Donald Trump took too much energy!! Rosie is crasp, crude,and not pleasant to watch on any show because of her LOUD,obnoxious attitude. I would have quit watching the Price is Right if she hosted that. Also, I am not against gay rights, but I did not like Rosie using the View for her gay-rights platform. We all have the right to live our lives the way we want to. But she rubs it into everyone’s faces.

As I said before show ratings ALWAYS go down at this time.

A gradual slip off in ratings as shows slip into repeats for the summer, such as “ELLEN”. But for “THE VIEW” and shows like “REGIS & KELLY:LIVE” that continue through June with live broadcasts, a drop of almost “one half of a million viewers” means something is wrong. Especially in only a 2 week period.

Either someone is missing, or something was said, or something was done. For viewers to just abandon the show so quickly, is most likely because of the Rosie & Elizabeth feud. A large group of viewers left because Rosie left, plain and simple. But also a large group of viewers left because of the actions of Elizabeth, the show producers and Ms Walter’s herself.
The show is a tired and overworked production and will fail miserably now.
