Headline, Rosie to leave the View today.
Thank God.
(Excerpt) Read more at drudgereport.com ...
She obviously has a memory problem since she did not then mention THE BARRICADES and LONG WAITS when Clinton went trolling thru NYC!
Whooo! Picking myself up off the floor after that post...laughing my butt off!
I heard she is NOT getting fired and that she will be getting her own show and will probably receive about 40 million bucks a year...........
Nice response from Chlorox, saying it's as much the viewer's responsibility as the advertisers.
You mean no one can work Rudy into this thread? :)
I can’t get quite psyched up enough to put in the effort. The only time I’ve seen The View is on FOX News. That said, her act at the communications banquet was completely out of line, considering the young kids who attended. If I was a parent of any of them, I’d be screaming.
:-)
Oh joyous day!!! I bet the other women are happy. I hope she doesn’t get another job where she has free rein like she did on the view.
Better would be The View be gone. Permanently!
She’s not completely gone. She’ll guest host and get one hour specials. :-(
Pulled this out of TVWeek Daily Mels Diner couple weeks ago..so there was indication of her leaving.

The Dish: Mark my words.
Rosie ODonnell will be back with a single-host talk show in all of her more-candid-than-ever glory.
Who: Hilary Estey McLoughlin, president, Telepictures Productions
When: Tuesday, March 7, lunch
Where: Sushi Katsu-Ya, Studio City
The Dish: Mark my words. Rosie ODonnell will be back with a single-host talk show in all of her more-candid-than-ever glory.
And for my money, Warner Bros. will be involved.
I had lunch on Tuesday with Hilary Estey McLoughlin, president of Telepictures Productions, the Warner Bros. division that produced Rosies former blockbuster chat fest (which, by the way, Hilary executive produced).
No, Hilary did not slip me a peek at some top secret pact under a Katsu-Ya menu. (Of course, the menu there is on a dry erase board.)
Yes, Hilary said all the things she should have, considering Rosies signature is on a contract giving ABC first crack at whatever the comedienne might leave The View to do. A lot of companies are interested and I dont know whats going to happen, Hilary told me.
But she spoke volumes by explaining how she sees her longtime friend Rosie, both personally and professionally. As well as what makes a successful talk show.
Rosie is big on e-mail and a good soul, Hilary told me. I wonder why people never see that.
Rosie is one of the most charitable celebs around, having given something like $50 million away, Hilary said.
I asked Hilary flat out whether a solo talk show would work with Rosie today, given her penchant for sharing her often controversial thoughts as readily and openly as she does on The View.
Yes, Hilary said without hesitation. Even if you dont agree with her, she compels you to listen to her.
Hilary believes that a host has to be authentic for a talk show to work, and you cant get much more candid than Rosie, circa today.
Theres a history, an understanding and a track record between Rosie and Hilary that seems to point to them ultimately collaborating again. Call it a hunch.
They even sound alike.
People say that, Hilary said. Shes Long Island, Im Queens.
Clearly theyre tight. And thats to be expected when people work together on long-running daily talk shows.
Hilary, a 21-year veteran of Warners, has produced many talk shows. Telepictures currently is home to The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tyra Banks Show. Hilary speaks highly of Ellen and Tyra too.
For someone known to be dedicated and serious about her work, Hilary was far more chilled out and downright funny over sushi than I expected. She busts her butt, but has a sense of humor about it.
My daughter calls my BlackBerry my toxic waste of time, she said while talking about how tempting it is to use the device while driving.
This week one of the things shes juggling is finding a home for the TMZ operation.
She has her eye on space along Sunset Boulevard that might accommodate both the celeb news Web site and the syndicated television show based on it thats due to launch this fall.
The TV show will not be shot in a studio but rather smack dab in the middle of the newsroom, Hilary told me.
TMZ creator Harvey Levin will have an on-air presence along with a number of personalities, all of whom will have strong POVs, serving as hosts.
Its not going to be a traditional, Extra or Access Hollywood two-host format, she said.
The idea is to capture the sense of urgency and immediacy associated with TMZ.com, famous for breaking the Mel Gibsons DUI tirade.
Its fast and furious and unfiltered, she said. TMZ is not sugar-coated. Thats why people like it.
Dined On: The Katsu-Ya in Studio City
CUT
However, Ironic that TMZ may be courting Rosie.
When Did Rosie Know She Was Leaving?
Deal in Place?...Fox11 reports..TMZ...Her buddy Hillary McLoughlin.
Rosie got Trumped and Alec is going to go postal.
LOL
“You mean no one can work Rudy into this thread? :)”
You just did. ;)
Alec Baldwin will be on the View on Friday!
She says she will finish this season, which I’m sure she will be totally out of control for, with long monologues about impeachment.
I always thought she achieved her fame on Star-Search, not because she was funny, but out of sympathy because she appeared to have Down Syndrome.
the reference to “king George” was over the top
What I want to know is did Hillary Clinton laugh?
