Rosie's Return To Television!

Filed under: TV News > Rosie O'Donnell

Let's hope she doesn't jinx herself (again)!

Rosie O'Donnell has just announced that she is working on a new TV program.

This time, however, it's not another talk show.

Ro made the announcement on her blog Friday evening that she was planning to appear in a new sitcom.

O'Donnell's pal Fran Drescher is expected to co-star.

The pair described the show as a "fun, happy, family comedy."

No word on how far along this sitcom is - just talks, pilot, network pickup.

Watch Rosie's announcement above (around the 12:30 mark).

      I love Fran Drescher, her voice just grows on you like a fungus or some sort of herpes or something, after a nanny binge I found myself talking like her hahah scary yet strangely satisfying

    17. Your S/M Girlfriend says – reply to this


      17

      She should have kept up her act with her original talk show. She had a lot of people fooled, including me. She's so wacko and just kind of brutally ugly that I can't even stand to look at her now. This is one show I won't be watching. For sure.

      Go for it Rosey, tell the world what you think (I'm serious).
      You make more sense than Bush. The retard that's running this country.
      Good luck… and don't take to heart any trash on this site, take it from the source…
      Good luck Fran too, lov ya both!!

      OH MY GOD…. I COULD NOT EVEN GET THROUGH IT ALL….. THEY ARE SOOOOO BORING THEY JUST GO ON AND ON AND ON AND ON….. THEY WON'T SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! I USE TO LIKE ROSIE ESPECIALLY ON THE VIEW (ELIZABITCH HASSLEBECK I HOPE YOUR HUSBAND DIES AND YOUR CHILDREN GET CANCER, I KNOW THAT SOUNDS AWEFUL; BUT UNFORTUNATELY I MEAN IT) BUT NOW SHE'S GETTING ANNOYING…. QUIT TRYING SO HARD RO DO

    20. I LOVE YOU FRAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! says – reply to this

    22. WHY NOT PUT ROSEANNE ON IT TOO says – reply to this


      22

      Why not just throw in that other foul mouthed, untalented cow Roseanne? Rosi needs to lose some weight she is starting to look really bad. Maybe she needs her thyroid checked or something. She should just go back to stand up really.

      I'm sick of Rosie she is very annoying….
      I miss the old Rosie, you know, when she was sanee!

      I hope it include nudity on Fran's part!

    25. marmin says – reply to this


      25

      I AM EXCITED ABOUT THE SIT COM. I THINK ROSIE DOES BETTER IN A SCRIPTED SITUATION , SUCH AS "NIP AND TUCK" AND ALL HER MOVIES. A STAND UP COMEDIAN OR ACTRESS WILL KEEP HER OUT OF POLITICAL "ANNOYING " TROUBLE, I HOPE.
      GOOD LUCK TO FRAN AND RO.

      Disgusting hypocrite. "I'm against guns!", yet you go around w/ ARMED security guards. "Human rights protection for females", yet you circumcised your sons… permanently mutilating them against their will. Niiice, you bitch.

    45. PheonixRising says – reply to this


      45

      Say what you will, but Rosie has decent comedic timing, and Drescher is a sitcom pro, so the success of this will depend entirely on the skills of the writers, along with it's appeal to the psyche of today's viewers.

      I'm Sorry, But I do NOT like Rosie. Did you see her dog?!?! Her hand stroking it must've been like 15 lbs. on that poor dog! :( lol Anyways, I don't like Rose.

    59. Rreedy says – reply to this


      59

      Rosie doesn't realize it yet, but her audience is SMALL. Anything she gets involved in will flop..like her magazine, like her tv show, like her big friendship w/ Tommy Cruise. She 's a loser and I fully expect to read her obituary one day when she blows her own brains out.

      I wouldn't watch Rosie's show if someone fucking paid me. She's ignorant and annoying. IF YOU WERE NAMED MOST ANNOYING CELEB WHY WOULD YOU STAR IN A SITCOM AND THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WATCH IT?!

      Rosie should really do a talk show where she talks about the REAL ISSUES like she did on the View. Rosie, I know you want to focus on stuff that makes you happy and not be stressed out, but you have a purpose, and that is to open others' eyes. That is your purpose. Real issues and TPIR are what you REALLY SHOULD BE DOING!!!!!! You can't give away free shit on a sitcom either. BOO HOO.

      Rosie is a fat pig who can't mind her own business. That fucking bitch said I outed Clay Aiken, when she was the one who outed him and accused Ripa of being a homophobe. She has to roll around in yeast to find her wet spot. She is a very bad gay and not a good person to represent GLBT.

      thats awesome, i like Rosie, people dish her only because they are either homophobic and make childish discriminating remarks or they just don't like people having opinions, Rosie isn't scared to say what she wants and is very opinionated, why is that so bad. Freedom of speech and expression should be something we don't make hate of.

    99. PACA says – reply to this


      99

      Re: javajunkie
      FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS OK BUT SHE CROSSES THE LINE AND TRIES TO BRAINWASH DUMB KIDS LIKE YOU INTO THINKING THAT "TWO DADS" OR "TWO MOMS" IS NORMAL, WHICH IT IS NOT. IT IS PERVERTED AND DISGUSTING JUST LIKE YOU ARE. THE UGLY BITCH SHOULD LEAVE KIDS ALONE. SHE NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO BRING ADOPTED KIDS INTO HER PERVERTED SITUATION.

      Why? Who cares about Rosie. She is totally against America. D list at best. Fran is OK.
