Rosie O’Donnell in Talks to Join MSNBC By JACQUES STEINBERG and BILL CARTER

Rosie O’Donnell, who abruptly left “The View” on ABC last spring after drawing attention and ratings for her opinions on everything from the Iraq war to her co-hosts, is in serious discussions to return to television atop a new soapbox: a prime-time show on the cable news channel MSNBC, according to executives on both sides of the negotiations who have been briefed directly.

Under one scenario, Ms. O’Donnell would be given the 9 p.m. slot each weeknight on MSNBC, where she would go head-to-head with two heavyweights of cable talk: “Larry King Live” on CNN and “Hannity & Colmes” on Fox News. Her show would replace “Live with Dan Abrams,” a relatively low-rated program that only recently replaced “Scarborough Country,” which was also little-watched.

But NBC executives, speaking on condition of anonymity because the conversations are continuing, cautioned that there were many elements of a potential deal yet to be resolved. These include when such a show would appear, what Ms. O’Donnell would be paid, and whether she would also be seen on the NBC broadcast network.

good grief.......MSNBC are such losers.

[goodnesswins]

What a joke!

Her show would replace “Live with Dan Abrams,” a relatively low-rated program that only recently replaced “Scarborough Country,” which was also little-watched.

Isn't that true of every show on the entire network?

[freekitty]

She will lose.

[NormsRevenge]

Gurp,, snortle,, churp.. LOLOL..

maybe Colmes can move to pMsNBC and be her straight guy.
no pun intended. ;-)

[skinkinthegrass]

Anyone have the Popcorn eatin' (.GIF)?
this could be fun....

[CedarDave]

Ha!! There are only so many ways you can spin 9/11 conspiracy theories!!

[b4its2late]

Ha!

[Bushbacker1]

Can PMSNBC’s ratings go any lower? Well, yes! Just invite Rosie O’Fat to host a show and watch the numbers turn negative.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Why? He already has that gig for Sean (and he is relatively assured of not getting his a$$ kicked after the cameras are off!)

[b4its2late]

[Anti-Bubba182]

I hope she does. She will get stomped.

[JFC]

BRING IT ON!

[Doogle]

But NBC executives, speaking on condition of anonymity

..there's just so long even rich stooooopid media libs can be called stooooopid ****s

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Oh, and, already posted.

Head-to-head with the same thread bump.

[Radix]

Just do it Rosie, and demonstrate once again that Liberals do not pay attention to what their “leaders” are actually saying.

Good grief those people do not even read books for crying out loud.

[NormsRevenge]

lolol.. just a thought.. I might considering upgrading my dish subscription and watching fox news again.. between him and whore0-aldo and the obloviator, I don’t miss fnc much at all except for the news babes.. -)

[Clint N. Suhks]

“Live with Dan Abrams,” a relatively low-rated program that only recently replaced “Scarborough Country,” which was also little-watched.

hehehe...

And they think Rosie O'Donuts is the answer? She couldn't even cut it on "The Spew"!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Bring. It. On.

[tomnbeverly]

WOW Olberman and Rosie love fest... how Chic...

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

All the TV I ever want to watch comes to me absolutely free from the top of the Sears Tower (so you frikkin muzzies better not take it out!)

[HamiltonJay]

So, one of the loudest and least intellectual of the lefts faces is going to go head to head with one of the loudest and least intellectual of the rights... sounds fun.

They would whip her arse! It might take a month though...that’s a BIG JOB!

[GOPmember]

[NormsRevenge]

I hear ya,, there ain’t a heckuva lot of quality programming out there any place these days,, which is really kind of strange considering the amounts of money in the industry.. talent and originality and honesty seems to be at an all time low. Oh well.

[Dog]

[skinkinthegrass]

THANKS. :)
Hmmm/w butter.

[EagleUSA]

God help this nation. It is in serious trouble. The left has just totally run out of control. (I know, understatement).

[BigAlPro]

With yet another imminent failure in her future, the question of the day is, “How long it will take Rosie to quit this job and go home crying?”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I thought she was dead?

[Sweetey]

AMEN ! I’ll have to watch one night just to see her fall on her 10-ton arse one more time !!!!!! HILARIOUS !!

[ari-freedom]

ow
ow
ow again
ow Why do I keep doing this to myself?

[Bob Loblaw]

Perhaps CNN Headline News would consider putting Donald Trump on between 9:00 and 10:00, opposite Rosie.

[DeFault User]

maybe Colmes can move to pMsNBC and be her straight guy.

He could also be her "conservative" counterweight.

"Step right up, folks, we got your moonbat and your semi-rational neo-liberal-progressive right here!"

[y6162]

The fat cow would undermine the credibility of Hissy and Doberman even further. Sign her up!

[albie]

[to go head-to-head with Hannity & Colmes.......]

...ugh! Do we have to refer to ANY kind of head in relation to Rosie?

[Huck]

Seriously. The network must be a tax write-off or something.

[rockabyebaby]

stoooooooooooooooooooopid broad,,,,,sucker for punishment, some people just don’t learn.

[fatnotlazy]

If you do start watching Fox again, and you have a warped sense of humor, tune in to Red Eye. But you may have to TIVO or tape it — it comes on very late (around 3:00 AM where I live).

[econjack]

As much as I like H&C, I’ll stop watching the moment she becomes in anyway associated with the show.

[Tanniker Smith]

oh, please, please, please.

I never wanted to see someone come back on the air so much ... just to see them steamrollered!

[fatnotlazy]

semi-rational?

Lztely, Olbermanns has been as mooney as the rest of the moonbats. Maybe more so.

[GOPmember]

[malia]

Who cares?

[chopperman]

So, one of the loudest and least intellectual of the lefts faces feces is going to go head to head with one of the loudest and least intellectual of the rights... sounds fun.

There - fixed it.

[R.W.Ratikal]

No one is interested in what O’donnell has to say.

[Santa Fe_Conservative]

Yeah but she’s so big she could actually squash both Hannity and Colmes, if you know what I mean!

[Lucky9teen]

fall out from the writers being on strike....?

[DeFault User]

semi-rational?

I'm referring to Alan Colmes, not the reigning kook...
