Rosie O'Donnell returns on NBC	Login to vote
Gabby television personality will host Rosie's Variety Show on Thanksgiving eve; series could follow. Look out! Rosie O'Donnell is returning to television, and this time she's in total control. NBC has hired the former The View panelist to host her own variety special that's scheduled to debut the day before Thanksgiving. Hopefully, your appetite will return the next day. The struggling network is giving an hour to Rosie's show, which is cleverly titled Rosie's Variety Show and will feature all sorts of variety-show shenanigans, such as celebrity guests, music numbers, and comedy sketches. Not sold yet? Wait, there's more! There will also be a "giant primetime giveaway," according to NBC, which will offer up prizes (to be determined later) to the studio audience and viewers at home. Rosie will have to be on her game, given that Rosie's Variety Show will be broadcast live (at least on the East Coast). Should the show perform well in the ratings, Rosie's Variety Show could go weekly. "This is a dream come true for any performer," said O'Donnell in a statement. "Old-time variety, live from New York with a nod to Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, and memories of Sonny and Cher." Hold on to your hats; more details are expected to be released later. O'Donnell drew praise and loathing for her work on The View, and was notorious for butting heads with polar opposite Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the show. Prior to that, O'Donnell hosted the Emmy-winning The Rosie O'Donnell Show, a daytime talk show. What do you all think? Is this a return to the golden years of old-timey days of television? Or has NBC just ran out of ideas and given up?
