She's Coming Baaack! Rosie to MSNBC?

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

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.

31. 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.

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

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

43. 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.

44. 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?

45. I guess MSNBC doesn't care anymore about ratings. Because less people will watch once she comes on board. Oh well!
