Rosie O'Donnell Planning Return to Daytime TV

By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 20th 2010 08:00AM

Watch out, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Rosie O'Donnell is headed back to daytime TV.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed reports that the multiple Emmy-winning host has teamed with Dick Robertson and Scott Carlin for a syndicated talk show that would launch after Oprah Winfrey's exit in fall 2011.

Showbiz 411 first broke the news yesterday, with sources claiming that O'Donnell was overheard at a New York restaurant talking about a deal that is "almost done" to return to daytime.

The news should come as little surprise to daytime followers, considering the overwhelming success she had as host of the 'Rosie O'Donnell Show.' The show ran from 1996 to 2002, and won the famous funnywoman a slew of awards, including six-consecutive Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Talk Show Host.

In Sept. 2006, O'Donnell returned to daytime as a panelist on ABC's 'The View,' and was the subject of much controversy, including a highly publicized feud with Donald Trump. A few months later, she engaged in an on-air spat with co-host Elisabeth Hasselback over the Iraq War, which led to O'Donnell's abrupt and permanent departure from the show.

Recently, O'Donnell filmed guest spots on a number of popular TV series, including Lifetime's 'Drop Dead Diva,' 'Nip/Tuck' and the HBO comedy 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.'

Thank you Lori, I so agree with you. Most all of these posts are RUDE! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!!

Perhaps if this mess could take the advice given by oneposter here about not saying anything if you can't say something nice might make more of us accept or semi accept her. Rosie is meaner and nastier then any of hteposts that I have read here. It is not about her sexual choices it is about her mean and nasty personality, if you want to call it a personality that is.

By Clark Celmayster

Maybe everyone is being mean and nasty because she is just plain mean, nasty, discusting herself?

Rosie should go back to her first job as a teamster truck driver, not a very good one but better than a TV hack.

If you don't like her, don't watch her. Simple
I find her hilarious and when she joined The View ratings soared. Now it's back to ho-hum and I quit watching it. Elizabeth is the root of all evil

Anybody that wants that hog back on TV, or anywhere else should be shot with s--t and hung for stinking!

By rowdygirl

What can she possibly bring to the table? Hatred of Chistians and straight people, crazy long winded diatribes about the wonderful gay life and pep talks about abortion. Do we really need any of this?

By Debbie

Plese, she is done. I can't stand to hear her voice or see her ugly lesbian face.
