Rumor has it that Rosie O'Donnell is lobbying for Bob's spot- let's all hope that isn't the case.

Bob's been hosting that show my entire life and then some (well, a year more). Such a great game show. My parents were in the audience about 10 years ago. But my mom isn't a large Samoan woman, so she didn't get to come on down and be a contestant.
