On November 26, 2008 on NBC @ 8pm Rosie O'Donnell will be making her return to television. If you're a follower of her blog rosie.com it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that she has decided to produce and host a variety show--She talks about the lack of good ol' entertainment on television quite a bit, and she's absolutely right! I think Rosie is a perfect fit for a variety show. She's funny, loud, and real--maybe too real for some.
I'm excited to see whether her variety show, Rosie LIVE! will become a success, especially since it will be competing to some extent with another prominent lesbians variety show hosted by Ellen Degeneres.
A part of me thinks that people are just too jaded to tune into a fuzzy-wuzzy clean and wholesome show, especially on prime time--or maybe I'm the one that's jaded? Than again, last I heard, reality show ratings have plummeted. Perhaps people will tune in because they're sick of the crap that's on TV, but most likely people will tune in because of the intrigue that Rosie's persona evokes.
The once dubbed "Queen of Nice" has shed her given title to being someone more authentic and honest post coming out, as her appearance on The View has demonstrated. Say what you want about Rosie, you might like her, or you might hate her, but you have to admit that her integrity is intact because she is dreadfully honest. And lets face it, honesty makes some people uncomfortable, while others breathe a sigh of relief in its presence.
Check out dreadfully honest Rosie discussing the personal and the poltical:

So, was her truth uncomfortable for you to hear, or was it a breath of fresh air?
In any case, whatever your feelings towards Rosie are I suggest you tune into Rosi LIVE! to see Rosie as herself, a person positioned somewhere smack in the middle between her past persona the "Queen of Nice" and her propagated persona as The Views shit disturber. Should be interesting to see a Rosie who has escaped the closet and freed herself from Barbara Walters’ chains, and heck if you want REAL just check out her blog rosie.com.
