A primetime MSNBC talk show for Rosie?

Rosie_l This could work, couldn't it? At 9 p.m., it'd have to be more entertaining that watching Larry King interview Anna Nicole Smith's chiropodist's nephew, or watching Alan Colmes play Washington Generals to Sean Hannity's Harlem Globetrotters. It'd be a smart move for MSNBC, too — conservatives may be complaining now about Keith Olbermann's editorializing on Countdown, but with Rosie following him, he'll look like William F. Buckley by comparison. I just hope she'll occasionally do the show in costume, like the Queen Elizabeth I outfit she wore on the Halloween episode of Martha last week. Let's see King or Hannity try that.

Have you ever checked the credentials of most of the anchors on cable news channels? Glenn Beck? Hannity? O'Reilly? None of them is any more qualified than Rosie.

yaaaaaaay!

Why??? I hate her as much as I hate Trump. They should marry each other and go away. Preferably off planet.

They'll put anyone on TV these days for ratings......

Can't wait!!

My respect for MSNBC just fell into the toilet. Just wonder how long it will take before Rosie's opinion gets her canned.

MikeknaJ Tue, Nov 6, 2007 at 09:21 PM EST

What exactly qualifies Rosie to host a news program of any sort? Why not give Leno, Ellen, Regis, and Bruce Willis their own news programs too - apparently all you need is a famous name and an opinion to qualify for MSNBC's high journalistic standards.

I can't wait to see it.

Larry King snagged Anna Nicole Smith's chiropodist's nephew?! Barbara Walters is gonna be really p.o'd.

Gary, the thing you said about Larry King made me laugh. I feel bad when he has to devote an half-hour to Britney and K-Fed after covering a national disaster.

This should have been one of the "To Care or Not to Care" posts. Why does she always have that horrible fake smile? I miss when she was funny and loved musicals. Now she's just angry and annoying.

Joe C Tue, Nov 6, 2007 at 04:24 PM EST

I'm not a fan of your girl, Gary, but out of curiousity, I'd watch that show a few times.

Joey Jo Jo Tue, Nov 6, 2007 at 04:08 PM EST

Why can't she just shut up and go away?

Stephen Tue, Nov 6, 2007 at 03:22 PM EST

Bad pic, but I'd watch. She is a loud mouth and I love her for it. Although I wish she was a little better at taking it when she dishes it.

Love this idea and I cannot wait to become a regular viewer!
