Rosie O'Donnell Shares Her Thoughts On A Possible Talk Show Reboot

According to People Magazine, Rosie O'Donnell recently appeared as a guest on the outlet's "PEOPLE in the '90s" podcast. During her interview with hosts Andrea Lavinthal and Jason Sheeler, the comedian revealed that she's been asked to bring "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" back. However, she's unsure about reviving the popular show at this point. "I feel like for me, it was really of a time. The time to start a new show for TV now with the social delivery platforms that they have is not a 60-year-old woman. You have to be younger and have the fight in you and be on the cutting edge," O'Donnell stated. "So I don't think that I would do it again. Although my career has been so unpredictable that you never know what will happen," she admitted, adding, "I think that the time is past for that for me."

During the interview, O'Donnell also revealed one thing that made her stand out as a talk show host, and that was conducting fun interviews that were mostly light-hearted. "I was not a 'get you' kind of interview, I had no desire to make anyone feel uncomfortable," she confessed. While O'Donnell may not be ready to step back on to the airwaves to revive her talk show, she did help pave the way for others such as Ellen DeGeneres and Kelly Clarkson, who've enjoyed successful daytime TV careers.
