Thank you for having me back! It’s great to be here," to her co-hosts Gayle King and Nate Burleson.

O’Donnell emphasized her excitement for the upcoming week, stating that she is thrilled about the "exciting show ahead." O’Donnell’s return coincides with her promotion to a full-time correspondent for "60 Minutes" and the launch of her weekly podcast, "Healthful," focusing on women's health.
Some online critics expressed disappointment at her decision to return to "CBS Mornings" during CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss' tenure, but O’Donnell dismissed their concerns as "so silly," arguing that those watching her shows understand CBS' commitment to quality journalism.
