Rosie O'Donnell Open to Guest Hosting 'The View' Again
19 Jun
Summary
- O'Donnell expressed willingness to guest host 'The View' if invited.
- She referenced a past on-air argument with Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
- O'Donnell previously left 'The View' twice for personal reasons.
Rosie O'Donnell recently shared her thoughts on potentially returning to "The View," indicating she would be open to guest hosting the popular talk show. During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," O'Donnell stated that an invitation has not yet been extended to her. She noted that, in the current political climate, she believes former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, with whom O'Donnell had a memorable on-air dispute, is a fitting personality for the show.
O'Donnell's history with "The View" includes two distinct tenures. She initially joined as a co-host in 2007, departing after just one season following a significant on-air argument with Hasselbeck concerning the Iraq War. She later returned in 2015 but left again only five months into her contract. At that time, O'Donnell cited health concerns and the need to minimize stress, explaining that she was prioritizing her family following her divorce and managing her health as a heart attack survivor.
