Rosie O'Donnell Makes Talk Show Return as 'Kimmel' Guest Host
Rosie O'Donnell returns to late-night TV and says Trump’s pressure campaign has already cost Stephen Colbert his show.
- On Monday, comedian Rosie O'Donnell began a week-long guest-hosting stint on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" while host Jimmy Kimmel takes his voluntary summer vacation.
- Kimmel, who has a two-decade-long feud with Trump, tapped O'Donnell as "a special treat" for the president, though she described the offer as coming "out of the blue."
- After reaching out to Kimmel following the death of his uncle, Frank Potenza, a former NYPD officer, O'Donnell said she supports Kimmel's advocacy for the First Amendment amid political pressure on late-night comedy.
- During Monday's monologue, O'Donnell avoided mentioning Trump, instead criticizing David Ellison's pending $111 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery and its impact on media independence.
- Trump's continued fixation on O'Donnell has helped her become "refamous" at 64, as she jokingly described it, while she performs her off-Broadway one-woman show, "Common Knowledge," this summer.
