Rosie O’Donnell Reveals Whether She’d Return to ‘The View,’ Shades Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Rosie O'Donnell says she would return as a guest host but says ABC has not asked her, while also reviving her feud with Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

  • On Thursday, June 18, comedian Rosie O'Donnell, 64, appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen and said she would guest-host The View if asked, though she noted, "I would be up to guest host, but they haven't asked me."
  • O'Donnell and former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck clashed frequently during their 2007 tenure on ABC, with their conflict escalating into a shouting match over the Iraq War when producers introduced a split-screen shot.
  • Addressing Hasselbeck's recent guest appearance, O'Donnell remarked, "In the time of Trump, I think she's the perfect person they want on TV spouting their rhetoric," while confirming she still holds a grudge over the 2007 split-screen moment.
  • The television personality currently resides in Ireland after relocating in January 2025, though she is expected to return to the United States this summer to perform her one-woman Broadway show, Common Knowledge.
  • While she remains an iconic figure in American entertainment, O'Donnell is not actively pursuing a return to The View, emphasizing that any guest-hosting appearance would depend entirely on an invitation from the show.
