Rosie O’Donnell’s Return to Daytime Television
Rosie O’Donnell began her career as a stand up comedienne. She was always one to crack jokes with her friends, and decided to use her talent to help propel her career to television. It was on Star Search that Rosie got her big break…she won the competition and was off to do live circuit comedy. Rosie was also a reporter on the music channel, VH1, which eventually landed her on more television and movie stints. Rosie has been in such movies as ” A League of Their Own”, which is when she made close friends with music superstar, Madonna. Rosie has made other movie appearances in “Exit to Eden”, “Sleepless in Seattle”, “The Flintstones”, and the voice of an animated character in Disney’s “Tarzan”.
In the mid 1990’s, Rosie O’Donnell had her own Emmy-winning daytime talk show, The Rosie O’Donnell Show. After several successful years of daytime television, Rosie decided to throw her cards in and become a full time mom to her adopted son, Parker. It was after her television show was off the air that she “came out” and announced her partnership with her wife, Kelli Carpenter. Today, Kelli and Rosie have four children together; 3 of which were adopted, and one , Vivian, was delivered by Kelli.
This last fall, Rosie starred as ” Golde” in Fiddler on the Roof on the famed Broadway in New York City. Rosie blogged about this, and talks about other experiences on her blog, located at www.rblog.com. Rosie has found a way to connect with all of her ” stranger friends”, many of which have been loyal fans of hers for many years now. Rosie has helped out individuals by showing them how to trap into their inner spirit. She enjoys her blog, as it helps her avoid having to go thru her publicist, which is joked about, yet seen as a relief to her.
The “Queen of Nice”, as Rosie is often referred to, is slated to make a return to daytime television. In a shuffle of hot seats, Rosie will be taking Meredith Vierra’s seat on The View, opposite other hosts, beginning in September. This position is a great welcome back to daytime television for not only Rosie O’Donnell, but for all of her fans as well. The “Queen of Nice” is guaranteed to be a hot item for daytime television once again, and there could not be a better star for the slot.
