Rosie’s Out Of (The) View

Many thought that Rosie O’Donnell’s decision to quit The View had something to do with that Matrix Awards thing the other day, but as it turned out, it was all about her deal with ABC. The network wanted three years, while O’Donnell only wanted a year, so she quit effective mid-June. Says Rosie:
“This has been an amazing experience, and one I wouldn’t have traded for the world. Working with Barbara, Joy and Elisabeth has been one of the highlights of my career, but my needs for the future just didn’t dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me. To all the viewers out there, I just want to say ‘thank you’ for opening up your hearts and your homes to me this past year. But you can always find me at rosie.com. Here’s hoping there’s more confetti for all of us going forward.”
We can say whatever we want about Rosie, but no one can deny that she made The View a lot more interesting in the one year that she was on the show. Why else would we be writing about it if she hadn’t done exactly that? The many times she made Elisabeth Hasselbeck look like a blabbering idiot and that infantile feud with Donald Trump made for really good or bad TV, depending on how you look at things.
Check out the video and see the relief on Hasselbeck’s face when Rosie made her big announcement.

I feel it’s another cover-up,remember the whole Star Jones mess last year. If Barbara really wanted Rosie to stay on her show the View, They would have let her sign on for 1 year.But for the last few months Rosie has been saying anything she wants about anyone she wants, and I bet the network was coming down hard on Barbara. So Rosie had to go. The View will be a better morning show when Rosie’s gone.
