Should Rosie O'Donnell leave 'The View' for 'Nip/Tuck'?

143335__rosie_lAccording to Access Hollywood, Rosie O’Donnell told the studio audience at Tuesday’s The View that she’s been offered a full-time gig on Nip/Tuck, reprising her role as lottery winner Dawn Budge (pictured, with Nip/Tuck’s Julian McMahon). She didn’t say whether she’s accepting the offer, AH reports, but she’s only signed to a one-year deal on the morning show, so it wouldn’t be crazytown for her to jet. Still, I think it’s important for us to ask ourselves which Rosie we like better — Actie or Talkie?

Actie Rosie does A League of their Own; Talkie Rosie sings showtunes off-key.
WINNER: Actie Rosie!

Actie Rosie rides on the bus with her sister; Talkie Rosie hangs out with Elmo.
WINNER: tie!

Actie Rosie outs her boobs on Nip/Tuck; Talkie Rosie outs Clay Aiken on The View.
WINNER: Talkie Rosie!

You get how the game is played, PopWatchers. Go for it.

    Rosie stay on the Veiw its good again for the first time in years

  • Lisa

    Actie Rose: Goes all dominatrix in Exit to Eden
    Talkie Rose: Well, talks.
    WE ALL LOSE EITHER WAY

  • Lily

    Actie Rosie: Is on once a week.
    Talkie Rosie: Is on everyday.
    Winner: All depends if you like her or not.

  • Ellen

    Can’t stand Rosie O…actor or talk show…I say neither..how about she retires early and puts us all out of our misery?

  • Robert

    Actie Rosie: Is annoying, but scripted, and not playing herself.
    Talkie Rosie: Is annoying, but live, and plays “herself”.
    Winner: Anyone who has a working remote control to get away from both of them.
    Loser: Anyone who chooses to watch either Rosie.
    Oh, and while we’re discussing whether or not she should quit, why not just remove the View from the airwaves altogether? It would instantly class up television. If only we could do the same with all of those useless gabfests and then the reality TV…..

  • Brett

    Do both please

  • Michael H.

    I’ll probably catch hell for this comment but whatever… I don’t see why Rosie couldn’t continue on “The View” AND ALSO play Dawn Budge on “Nip/Tuck”.
    “Nip” only does 13 episodes per season… and surely Rosie wouldn’t have to be in each episode. Also, “The View” goes on hiatus for the month of August so Rosie could film many of her scenes in advance.

    Actie Rosie: Has her moments(scripted) and has so far been one of the highlights of “Nip/Tuck” this season
    Talkie Rosie: Shot a booger out of her nose on live television… Live television. And in the presence of Baba herself.
    Winner: Actie Rosie!!!
    BTW, is Clay Aiken gay?

  • EP Sato

    Actie Rosie wears provocative S&M leather outfit, beating Ugly Betty to the punch by a decade
    Talkie Rosie wears conservative garb
    Winner: Actie Rosie!

  • Michelle

    Send Rosie to Nip/Tuck. At least her words on TV will be from a script, instead of the irrational nuttiness we hear on The View.

  • mike

    Is there really going to be another season of Nip/Tuck? The fact that they would expand a one-note character to a weekly appearance shows Nip/Tuck needs to be
    put down. If they put down the Veiw as well, we all win.

  • dma69

    Run like the wind, Rosie. N/T needs Dawn Budge.
    P.S. Clay is SO gay.

  • mike

    View, not Veiw.

  • Cyndi

    I liked talkie Rosie until she started bad mouthing Kelly Ripa who I love to watch. So now I think Rosie should leave the talking to the ones who can do it without putting down the few good people left on TV. As far as actie Rosie, I have never watched Nip/Tuck, so I can’t say on that point.

  • Jazzy

    ROSIE SHOULD STAY ON THE VIEW. Not only because she made Star Jones leave (c’mon people, we all know she did!) but I love the way she argues politics with Elizabeth. Liz looks like she’s always about to burst into tears and I LOVE that! Those who watched the View before and after Rosie (like I have) can’t argue that the show is a hellavalot more interesting. Fire Elizabeth…

  • Jane

    Rosie as a lottery whiner? It’s a no brainer- go to Nip/Tuck. Her lines on the show will be scripted, so we don’t have to listen to the mean-spirited dreck that comes out of her own head.

  • EP Sato

    Incidentally, couldn’t EW have found a better shot of Rosie for the post? She looks like Ron Jeremy in that picture.

  • ABW

    Rosie has unmistakably upended and spoiled The View. Almost every segment has become dreadfully unbalanced, to the point where Rosie at times (like today) has referred on-air to the program as being “my show.” You can tell the other hosts (including Barbara) are walking on eggshells around her, and, in the Star Jones tradition, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Rosie’s contract was not renewed at the end of the year. (After which, rest assured, the charges of homophobia will be flying.)
    So on to Nip/Tuck it will be.

  • Martin

    Actie Rosie ups Madonna’s acting game (see A League of Their Own); Talkie Rosie hasn’t had Madonna on The View yet.
    WINNER: Madonna (because she acts better with Rosie – and because she hasn’t had to endure Joy’s oddly defensive looks or Elizabeth’s giggly fawning). :)

    Rosie has no proof that Aiken is gay and if she did, who cares? Will the media please leave this guy alone? Before he was a singer the dude got a college degree in Special Education and worked with children with special needs. He was an educator first, and that totally says something about his character.
    Getting back to Rosie, minus Exit To Eden, and Another Stakeout, she is a pretty decent actress but a dominating talk show panelist. ABC, give her a new talk show please and let Joy take over has head panelist?

  • mikey

    Talkie Rosie: On TV when I’m at work, so I have no chance of seeing her.
    Actie Rosie: On TV during prime time when I may inadvertently see her as I’m channel surfing.
    Winner: Talkie Rosie — out of sight, out of mind

  • Laurie

    The Nip/Tuck gig would be a graceful way for her to exit The View. Who would replace her? Please, not another loudmouth. Hopefully it would be someone with a little class.

  • Howard

    I was planning on breaking up with Nip/F–k after the finale next week, but this gives me all NEW reasons not to watch. Thanks Whitney, for confirming that my choice was the right one.
    Actie Rosie hasn’t been in anything good since Sleepless in Seattle (guest appearances notwithstanding).
    Talkie Rosie has CONSTANTLY annoyed the civilized world with her hypocrisy (The “Queen of Nice” berated Tom Selleck for owning a gun while her bodyguard was packing) and one of the most annoying voices in creation.
    Seems like a lose/lose for anyone who watches either of them.

  • Luke

    Yeah, Rosie, please stay on the View. I haven’t watched the View once since its 1st season until this season again. The show is great and without you, it’s just crap.

  • Dana

    Actie Rosie gives good peformance in Sleepless in Seatle, Talkie Rosie gives us a bad lesbian cruise documentary: ACTIE ROSIE.
    Actie Rosie plays monkey in Tarzan. Talkie Rosie says “of that man had been straight, or cute” and insults the hell out of Clay Aiken by calling him gay and ugly: TALKIE ROSIE.
    Actie Rosie embarrases herself in Exit to Eden, Talkie Rosie embarrases herself picking fight with Kelly: TIE.
    I say, she’s safer when saying other people’s words rather than her own.

  • Dave

    How is calling Clay Aiken gay an insult? Whether he is or not, you can debate the appropriateness of the comment, but are you seriously insinuating she meant to insult him by calling him gay?

  • Ang Knee

    Actie Rosie: Rosie
    Talkie Rosie: ROSIE!

  • Dave

    Btw, she was awesome in Nip/Tuck and I would love to see her back on it next season. Go Rosie!

  • Cassie

    Rosie should stay on The View. She’s a breath of fresh air. BTW, she did not out Clay Aiken since he has stated many times that he is straight despite people’s perceptions. Just because dma69 is gay doesn’t mean Clay is. Rosie just meant the Ripa thought Clay was gay. Funny how interested people seem in celebrites sexuality. I guess there are lot of people around not getting any.

  • yawn

    Question: Should Rosie O’Donnell leave The View for Nip/Tuck?
