Rosie O'Donnell has ruled out replacing Bob Barker as host of The Price Is Right.

Barker, who stepped down earlier this month after 35 years of hosting the long-running game show, suggested while speaking to reporters at the Daytime Emmy Awards that O'Donnell - who recently left ABC daytime talker The View after an on-air fracas with a right-wing co-host - would be a suitable successor.

O'Donnell has revealed on her blog that while she had a "nice lunch" with the show's producers on Friday, she didn't want to "uproot" her family and move to Los Angeles to take over as host of the programme.

"I'm in a weird position. I don't need the money," she said. "So to get my entire family uprooted from their lives and move them across the country so that I can have a fantasy childhood indulgence, you know, job... just doesn't seem fair."

She suggested that were production moved to New York "it would be a different story," but added: "It looks like it ain't gonna happen."
