Trump foe Rosie O'Donnell to replace Jimmy Kimmel as he steps back from his show
The Daily Mail ^ | 19 Jun 2026 | Alex Hammer

Rosie O'Donnell will join a roster of guest hosts set to replace Jimmy Kimmel for the summer, the late night host has revealed.

Kimmel segued to the 'special treat for our commander in chief' with a nod to his September suspension during his Thursday monologue.

'I will be taking the next two months off, this time voluntarily,' Kimmel said, before showing off 'a potent group of' guests.

'Tiffany Haddish, Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Jelly Roll,' he listed.

'And... I asked one of [Donald Trump's] all-time favorites - Rosie O’Donnell - to be here to keep the hits coming.'

The revelation drew uproarious applause.

'You're welcome,' Kimmel told the LA crowd.

O'Donnell, 64, and Trump, 80, have been embroiled in a fierce feud for the past 20 years.

Kimmel - an outspoken Trump critic - cracked: 'All I ask in return, Mr. President, is that you don’t do anything stupid while I’m gone.'

Kimmel, 58, typically takes off two months every summer. He adopted the practice during the pandemic.

Thursday's episode was his last before it begins.

If Disney was actually interested in viewer ratings they would have invited President Trump to host the first night.

Well at least now we know ABC isn’t in business to make money. Or is that time slot a sort of loss leader?

The network knows its demographic for red-meat liberalism.

The show is ABC, which is Disney. I’m surprised Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t wear Mickey Mouse ears or MCU superhero costumes to build corporate synergies across franchises.

Of course, Disney also owns ESPN, which owns the SEC. (Or is it the other way around? The land of the Borg is getting too complicated for me.)

Want to protest Jimmy Kimmel in a way Disney would notice? Cancel your subscriptions to all things Disney, including ESPN, and swear off SEC football until Kimmel is gone. Let Disney know why you’re walking away. If ESPN lost a million viewers on SEC broadcasts, the league would crack the whip fast. They had better move fast, before Texas and Georgia jump to the Big Ten.

In the meantime, maybe they’ll dress Rosie in Disney princess dresses. Ya gotta think like a streamer marketing director ....

LOL. Do they REMEMBER why Rosie’s show got cancelled? Do they remember that she was viewed as toxic? Do they remember “You know what happens to people who lie? They get sick and they get cancer. If they keep lying, they get it again.” Do they remember “Ching Chong Ching Chong Ching Chong.” Do they remember that the heavily pushed and cultivated “Queen of Nice” image crashed and burned into the “Queen of Mean” image? Good this is going to be fun. She will be a train wreck.

She thinks she looks so hot after her face lift and wants so badly to show it off.

She is still a burning ball of hatred with a permanent grimace on her face and is just painful to have to endure. Amazing that she is back since she is so SCARED of Trump’s America.

And don’t forget about McCall’s magazine.

“McCall’s was a monthly American women’s magazine, published by the McCall Corporation, that enjoyed great popularity through much of the 20th century, peaking at a readership of 8.4 million in the early 1960s. The publication was established as a small-format magazine called The Queen in 1873. In 1897 it was renamed McCall’s Magazine—The Queen of Fashion (later shortened to McCall’s) and subsequently grew in size to become a large-format glossy. It was one of the “Seven Sisters” group of women’s service magazines.” Wikipedia

“In 2001, the 125-year-old McCall’s magazine was rebranded as Rosie in a partnership with talk show host Rosie O’Donnell. However, the ambitious joint venture quickly fell apart due to editorial disputes and declining newsstand sales, and the magazine ceased publication entirely by the end of 2002.

Editorial Conflicts: O’Donnell pushed to make the magazine more personal and pragmatic, dedicating editorial space to candid discussions on depression, gun control, and other political agendas. These shifts and her distinct editorial decisions eventually put her at odds with the publisher.”

She’s an ugly, vicious miserable ogre whose face probably smells like rotted cat food.
