Rosie O’Donnell Back on the Air on ‘The View’

Published on May 01, 2006 | Email this article

At the Daytime Emmy Awards on ABC, Rosie O’Donnell announced she would return to daytime TV this September as a co-host with Barbara Walters, Star Jones Reynolds, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on ABC’s The View, writes the New York Times.

O’Donnell replaces current The View co-host Meredith Vieira, who will leave to take over for Katie Couric on NBC’s Today show.

In recent years, O’Donnell has endured public and professional losses relating to poor investments and a legal battle with publishing company Gruner&Jahr USA for dropping the Rosie magazine deal. This and O’Donnell’s rather adverse opinion of soon-to-be co-host Star Jones could serve as View fodder.
