Rosie O'Donnell, Come on Down!

Rosie O'Donnell isn't giving up on her Price Is Right dreams.

The former View cohost says she's still talking to the Price higher-ups about replacing Bob Barker as the host of the legendary game show. 

While chatting with Ross "the Intern" Mathews in a video posted on her blog, O'Donnell says she's "begging on a daily basis."

"I still send them emails every day," O'Donnell says. 

If she gets the job, O'Donnell wants Mathews to be the Price announcer. "This would make The Price Is Right a very big show again," O'Donnell says.

Mathews, of course, jumped on the idea. "For free, I would do it," he says. 

But even O'Donnell admits that it's a "slim chance" she'll land the gig. She says with a laugh, "They have to want me, I've learned."

Barker ended his 35-year run on the show last week when he taped his last episode. However, he has said he would return in the fall on a temporary basis if a new host isn't found by then. 

Meanwhile, O'Donnell has been busy making appearances at stops on the True Colors Tour, a nationwide tour featuring performances by Cyndi Lauper, Rufus Wainwright and Margaret Cho, among others. One dollar of every ticket sold will benefit the Human Rights Campaign.
