Rosie O’Donnell Crushed Her ‘Kimmel’ Monologue by Doing What Jimmy Kimmel Doesn’t
Now living in Ireland, O'Donnell returned to late night and focused on telling stories about living a normal life instead of obsessing over Trump.
Rosie O'Donnell has returned to late-night television as a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. She began her stint with a monologue that took a different approach from her previous shows, focusing on telling stories about living a normal life.
O'Donnell, who previously hosted her own talk show from 1996-2002, started her monologue by saying "Buckle up, people!" and made a comment about the president. According to The New York Times, she said, "And if you thought the president hated ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ when it was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, buckle up, people. Buckle up!"
O'Donnell now lives in Ireland and has been filling in for Jimmy Kimmel while he is on vacation. Her return to late-night television marks a comeback to the format after nearly 30 years.
