Controversial 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.
She's Coming Baaack! Rosie to MSNBC?

TMZ, Rosie O'Donnell never was, nor never could be, a "View babe." Yeah, put Rosie on against Larry King. That's all the more "treason" to watch Larry King. Nobody watches MSNBC anyway. I watch, "Hannity and Colmes."

if only @14 -- what more do you have to hear from Rosie that we haven't already heard, ad nauseum, and via her megaphone mouth? More conspiracy theories that she can't
prove? I think she beat that horse already.

I will not watch it. I have no respect for her. Wish she would just go away.

UGH!! Why doesn't she just buy a deserted island and take her gay cruise ship and family and vanish!

Kelli probably can't stand to have her around the house 24/7 anymore and will pay MSNBC to babysit her for a white everyday. Win Win situation of MSNBC They bleeding money since Imus was taken of the air. He was the only one with Blue Chip advertisers

Rosie O'Donnell has evolved into an egocentric jerk. She and Donald Trump are two peas in a pod. I'd enjoy never seeing either of them again.

I forgot about the 911 stuff.. That WAs strange. I just got sick of EH & her George Bush fan club stuff. I don't agree w/ all of Rosie's ideas, but she did bring up good points about the war in Iraq. Maybe if she picks a guest she won't fight w/, it could be a good show?
