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.
