She's Coming Baaack! Rosie to MSNBC?

Posted Nov 5th 2007 5:41PM by TMZ Staff

Rosie O'DonnellControversial talk show hostess Rosie O'Donnell is set to return to television, this time with her own show on MSNBC, sources on both sides of the talks tell the New York Times.

According to the Times, one idea being thrown around has the former "View" babe filling the 9:00 PM slot -- directly against "Larry King Live" on CNN and "Hannity & Colmes" on FOX News. Dan Abrams currently has that slot for MSNBC, but his ratings have been less than spectacular.

NBC execs were quick to caution that no deal was in place at this time. Calls to Rosie's rep were not immediately returned.

8. Yeah Rosie !!!!!! I hope it's true 'cause I love hearing her opinions. Love her or not, at least she's not afraid to speak her mind. She's never boring.

13. Big mistake for MSNBC because if that wench gets a show, they will lose millions of viewers including sponsor's. The only ones that will watch Rosie are the people that are like her, loud mouth, rudely opnionated backward un-newsworthy bigots. MSNBC is suppose to be an informative news show, not a place where fractured celebrities are given a time slot to voice their broken-wing opinions. You had better rethink this one MSNBC.

14. I like Rosie !!! So I would be a happy camper. I don't watch the View anymore, I can't stomach that Elizabeth woman.

15. I will watch it. I will watch anyone who is as fearless as Rosie. She will ask the tough questions and go right at people. I think this is a great idea and I know her show would do very well. Larry King and Hannity & Colmes better watch out.
