Could Rosie O’Donnell be the next Bob Barker?

The only thing trickier than betting on who will be Rosie O’Donnell’s replacement on “The View”? Betting on what Rosie’s next career move will be.
According to a prop bet former prop bet on BetUS.com, here are some of the possibilities, along with their odds:
Start her own TV talk show: -8000
Start a new comedy show satirizing Barbara Walters: +5000
Compete in beauty pageants: +15000
Join a Donald Trump Corporation: +500
Publish a magazine: +2000
Give etiquette lessons: +300
Sell trailers: +15000
Become a recording artist: +5000
I’m not exactly sure what a negative 8000-to-1 bet would entail (would you owe money if she launched The Rosie O’Donnell Show 2.0?), but ignoring that, there’s one possibility is conspicuously absent from this list: Rosie taking over “The Price is Right.”
As Defamer summed up the possibility, “While the network has yet to name Barker’s successor, it seems that Rosie O’Donnell is renewing her public campaign for the job, undeterred by reports that the retiring host would sooner see an entire shelter full of abandoned pets have their neutering magically reversed than allow the skinny mic to be passed to O’Donnell.”
So, in case anyone is interested in wagering, I’m fully prepared to take wagers on this one. I’ll set the odds at a bargain-basement 300-to-1—coincidentally the same odds that BetUS gives for Al Sharpton to take over Rosie’s seat on “The View.”
