Rosie O'Donnell's 'Rosie Live': What was she thinking?
The Los Angeles Times ^ | November 26, 2008 | Mary McNamara

Posted on 11/27/2008 12:07:37 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Two words: Dancing food. “Rosie Live” ended with dancing food. There’s nothing else to say, really except perhaps, Liza Minnelli. “Rosie Live” opened with a little song and dance from Liza Minnelli, who rose to the stage, as if from the grave, to sing a duet with O’Donnell, in a luminous white suit, complete with fetching Broadway hat. Liza, we love you, we will always love you, but there is no shame in retirement.

In between we were treated to Harry Connick Jr. in a Santa hat, Conan O’Brien taking a pie in the face, and Jane Krakowski singing about all the free stuff audience members would get. Some of the items were pretty swell, but I’m here to tell you it wasn’t enough. Rosie made jokes about Spanx, Alec Baldwin appeared in a jacket two sizes too small with weird Einstein hair -- neither of which were part of a gag. Clay Aiken strolled over from “Spamalot” to participate in the world’s most painfully long gay joke ("What was the other thing we have in common," Rosie mused, "oh yeah, we're both Gaaa ... briel Byrne fans.") and Alanis Morissette sang a song referencing the 12 Steps in front of, I kid you not, an endless loop of geese flying through a sunset.

Flying geese! There are not enough free video cameras or White Castle burgers in the world to make up for that.

What was NBC thinking? Oh that’s right, they were promoting left wing drivel once again.

Actually, I didn;t even know there was a show by Jabba o Donnell til someone posted the story.
The guests that showed up probably needed the money..

She doesn’t think. She just blubbers.

Know what the real beautiful thing is?

I didn’t even know this was coming on. I got to read about it afterwards.

Who else wastes their time watching The “Big” Three anymore? After what they did leading up to the election, how can they be trusted with either news or even entertainment?

I’m confused— during a depression, why wouldn’t people want to listen to a fat, homely angry communist lesbian?

That!!!

From my experience, Rosie seldomly thinks.

I'd almost pay good money to see a hot dog eating contest between Rosie O'Donnell an Michael Moore.

Why oh why does TV keep bringing back this talentless, hateful woman? Was there no one else they could give a variety show to? Jeez.

And another thing. Imagine Ann Coulter -- only hateful, irrational, ugly, and stupid as all get out -- and then ask yourself if she would be given show after show regardless of her failures. What a left-wing medium TV has become.

Well hey, who ever said the first show couldn’t also be the last show? Pretty clever if you ask me.

I am proud to say that I am one of those who contributed to this show’s dismal ratings.

What was she thinking?

You're making the assumption that she is capable of though.

That was your first mistake.
