Rosie O'Donnell to get night time talk show??

Rosie O'Donnell is in negotiations to return to television with her own weeknight talk show on MSNBC.

O'Donnell left "The View" in the spring after a stormy one-year tenure and has since been courted by other networks. If a deal is reached -- and one is not at all certain -- O'Donnell might get the 9 p.m. slot that would put her up against Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" and CNN's "Larry King Live."

News of the talks was first reported in the New York Times.

"It's far from a done deal," said an executive familiar with some of the discussions. Money apparently is one of the sticking points.

Neither of the two most recent MSNBC counterprograms, "Live With Dan Abrams" or "Scarborough Country," could make much headway at 9 p.m. against "Hannity" or "Larry King." Abrams relinquished his post as GM of MSNBC to focus on the 9 p.m. program that he inherited.

MSNBC declined comment; a representative of O'Donnell couldn't be reached Monday.

O'Donnell, who had her own successful daytime talk show from 1996 to 2002, was lured to the ABC morning chatfest after the departure of longtime moderator Meredith Vieira. But after less than a year -- which included a public spat with Donald Trump and battling with one of her co-hosts -- O'Donnell left.
And like Michael Eisner's talk show... aint nobody gonna watch Rosie's!

Somehow, Darth Vader yelling "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at the end of Star Wars Episode III comes to mind.

Okay everyone, place your bets to see how long this one lasts.

Rosie just seems like a flat out mean person when she's trying to argue for her opinion.

Any one see the Rosie O' Donnell reference on Family Guy on Sunday's 100th episode? Hilarious.

Well, seems like she used to be an annoying comedian. Now she's just a bitter annoying comedian. At least she's angry about the idiots in charge. But for all the wrong reasons. Plus she helps everyone with a left of center opinion look like an idiot. Thanks for crushing the movement, Ro.

At least Elizabeth doesn't have her own show on Fox yet. Maybe she can host it with Miss Carolina and talk about how no one has enough maps.

I saw the Rosie reference on Family Guy and thought it was great. As for this, I don't really care. I'm not gonna watch it because I don't watch MSNBC.

Folks, you can rest easy cuz it seems that Rosie's own big mouth ruined the chances of her show.

Janus Prospero 11-08-2007 05:13 PM

Good. People should just not let her speak on TV, or any public venues for that matter.
