Rosie O'Donnell reveals she in talks for comeback but not return to home country
Rosie O'Donnell shares the announcement on a recent podcast
Rosie O'Donnell is returning, but not to America, but probably instead on the TV screens.
According to the veteran host, who last hosted a daily talk show in March 2012,
Now, she has revealed a full-time return is on the cards.
“It would look a lot like my old show, to tell you the truth. I think America wants nostalgia. I think what they don’t want is celebrity culture. I think celebrity culture is dead in America,” O'Donne;; said on Tangle podcast.
Her remarks come in a response to a question about rumours that she may replace Jimmy Kimmel after filling in his position, though, temporarily.
The late-night host, for his part, explained his absence: "I will be taking the next two months off — this time voluntarily."
Meanwhile, O'Donnell took a critical look at the current state of daytime TV in the U.S.
“There was a time where, if you could get a big star on your show, the numbers went through the roof. Well, that was before the internet — really, it was before you could literally write a DM to me and I’ll respond,” the Emmy-winning host said.
She continued, "But I think the time for celebrity cultI'dhas died down. We’ve been in the land of gross excess in this country or a long time, and I’d like to do mostly human interest stories, tell goodforews, have fun and games with people like we used to, get to have Broadway on."
"And if a celebrity wants to come on and to, andt, that’s fantastic, but it wouldn’t be because they had a movie to promote," O'Donnell concluded.
