O'Donnell to Replace Vieira on 'The View'
O'Donnell to Replace Vieira on 'The View'Rosie O'Donnell is expected to make a surprise return to daytime television by taking over exiting Meredith Vieira's slot on the talk show "The View."
O'Donnell's appointment was reported Thursday by the newsmagazine "Extra." It was confirmed by a person close to the show who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because "The View" wanted to make the announcement on Friday's show.
ABC officials declined comment on the report on Thursday.
Dubbed "The Queen of Nice" when her syndicated talk show went on the air in 1996 and became an instant hit, O'Donnell won six Daytime Emmy Awards in six years as best talk-show host. She left the show to help raise four children with her partner, Kelli Carpenter O'Donnell.
I don't watch "The View"...it's a little too catty for me, but I would love to see Rosie back on TV and might even tune in to watch her do her thing. (Or at least set my TiVo anyway!) I'm not sure how well a group pannel is for her because she has such a fun loving dominant personality, but I'm very happy for her if it comes to be! I love Rosie and have missed her show since it left the airwaves.

I was SO happy to hear about this also. I always came home from school and watched her show. I'm not a big fan of The View either but I was thinking about asking Amber to record it for me becasue of her. But I'm not so sure if she's going to fit in well with them... but ... Maybe it will push her to think about bringing the Rosie show back... I can only hope! :)
