Will we ever see a world where Rosie takes the studio stage to reboot her beloved 90s daytime TV show!? Her “big crush” on Tommy Gurl Cruise?? Ro’ spoke to Entertainment Tonight about her podcast, and O’Donnell, who just turned 61, once again implied that bringing back the show is probably…
just never gonna happen:
“I feel like for me, it was really of a time,” she told People. “The time to start a new show for TV now, with the social delivery platforms that they have, is not a 60-year-old woman. You have to be younger and have the fight in you and be on the cutting edge.”
“I feel like 0 to 30, you’re just figuring out what’s going on,” she says. “Then, 30 to 60, you’re having kids, you’re getting married, you’re getting divorced, you’re figuring out your life. And then 60 on, you have to decide how much quality time is left and what do I wanna do with it.”
“What do I wanna do? How is there something that can make it easy to do, [something] creative, but will still keep me home?”
Ohhh. Won’t you reconsider, Ro!? With the evils of Ellen off the air and banished for good, we really need another lez to take the daytime reigns. The girls just do it better!
I loved the original Rosie show, but she damaged her brand when she went heavily into the activism and general bitterness after it went off the air. She lost a lot of fans as a result. Possible to come back from that, but not probable.
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not but Ellen’s punishment did not seem to fit her crime remotely. Reminds me of how even SNL portrayed Rosie as some evil Jekyll and Hyde type personality for being a politically opinionated lesbian. Do I think Ellen has room for improvement? Yes. But “the ‘be kind’ lady wasn’t always kind and her employees sometimes did problematic things.” Is that the point of no return? Uh, if that’s the case, we need to find a better solution than collective shunning because soon there are going to be more people out than in.
