  "account": "Rosie O'Donnell made her second appearance as guest-host for Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, and once again took the opportunity to address Donald Trump. The comedian and actor, who has a history of conflict with the current U.S. president, began the show by discussing the new Broadway musical Cats: The Jellicle Ball and expressing excitement over the launch of the Women's Professional Baseball League. However, O'Donnell couldn't resist a direct shout-out to Trump.\n\nIn a surprising twist, she remarked, \"This has been kind of a strange experience for me because all of a sudden I'm re-famous. I'm back in the spotlight, all thanks to President Oompa J. Loompa, who is watching us this evening from inside a catering cart.\" O'Donnell then added, \"You know I couldn't have done it without you, sweetie. You brought me back, just like you did with fascism and the measles.\" Interested in more film, TV, and review news?
