Rosie O’Donnell Excited for OWN Show, Talks Details

Actress, Comedian and former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell revealed this week that she’s excited to start filming for her new talk show that will broadcast on the Oprah owned network OWN.

Speaking about The Rosie Show O’Donnell revealed:

“It will be one celebrity per show, not three or four making the rounds doing promotion,” and “We’re going to have a lot of entertainment and comedy, of course, because I’m funny, right?”

Speaking about returning to television Rosie said her decision was easy because:

“I am the mother of four, and frankly, they’re teenagers, and that’s the reason why I’m going back to work.”

While details are still pretty sparse about the first episode and the format in general, she did revealed that the first celebrity she would like to have is someone she “fell in love with” revealing that person to be “Russell Brand… who is absolutely genius.”

Speaking to EXTRA Rosie explains that this show will be different from her previous because she’s, a little older and therefore a little wiser and therefore viewers will “see a more mature, evolved, I think a more happier person now.”

She also says social media will be combined with old media, providing a hybrid talk/reality TV show.

Here’s a video of Rosie O’Donnell talking about the show:

Considering she use to compete with Oprah Winfrey it will be interesting to see her on Oprah’s network.
