Mario Lopez...George Hamilton...Mark Steines...and now Ian Ziering? Are the producers serious about keeping The Price Is Right going, or are they just trying to find a way to end the show now that Bob Barker has left?
Yup, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 and Dancing with the Stars star (and I'll always remember him from The Guiding Light many years ago) auditioned for the gig last week. So the list seems to actually be growing. Besides the names above, don't forget John O'Hurley, Todd Newton, and The Early Show's Dave Price, who should insist on the job since he has the right name for it.
Oh, and Rosie O'Donnell is meeting with producers this week. Radar has a sneak peek at what a Rosie-hosted TPIR might be like.

He has zero chance of getting it. His wife was a Barker's Beauty but was fired from the show for posing in Playboy.
(that, and he's a total douche)

Someone tell Ian to give it up. He ruined his career when he went on Dancing with the Stars!

Ian Ziering would be fantastic as the host of The Price is Right. He has tremendous charizma and humor, and somes off as a very down to earth and fun-loving person. News reports are that he is in real life. Also, his following from 90210 is tremendous, and he would bring a whole new generation of viewers to Price is Right which I can only assume is popular now-a-days among a much older croud. The same folks would watch, plus lots of new viewers. It would be a very smart thing to hire him for the show.
To correct the last blog posting, Ian's ex-wife modeled for Playboy in 1997 and joined Barker's Beauties after that, serving from 1999-2002.

Rosie O'Donnell is a disgrace, and should rethink her decision to be on television. Bob Barker is a man of class, The Price Is Right is a long time family fun t.v. program. Rosie will do nothing but bring down the show and the network. Rosie do us a favor ....find a new profession.
