I personally don't like the way they put Bob Barker on the spot (I haven't looked at link) in an interview I saw. They act as though they wanted him to "Trump" her.

He was grace under fire though, not obligating himself as a endorser, nor being rude. He said he knows her, knows she liked the show and is familiar with the game. That he thinks she could do a good job if picked.
Why would anyone put him on the spot at this wonderful time in his life, try to put him in the middle while this controversy with Trump is still oozing?
On subject, I think her being host will end the show first season. She just plain
can't pull off the smooth aura of Bob, but I'm sure there is someone out there who can. The woman just doesn't have
it. That show is mostly followed by an elderly cult, I don't think she is of their liking. They (the producers) better think long and hard I feel.
