Rosie O'Donnell on New TV Show on MSNBC

For those of us who missed Rosie O’Donnell on our television screens after leaving ABC’s “The View,” MSNBC has great news.

The television channel offered Rosie O’Donnell a hosting contract for a prime-time show that would replace their rather low-rated “Live with Dan Abrams,” which started to air in early September  and it would compete with CNN’s “Larry King Live and Fox News' Hannity & Colmes,” the New York Times reported.

Referring to this, O’Donnell had a few comments to make during a recent book signing in Miami that she would soon begin to compete against “the guy with the suspenders and the long, long face,” according to a pod cast posted on lyingonthebeach.com.

Her show on MSNBC would consist of O’Donnell discussing the current events and would start just in time for her to give her thoughts on the following presidential election in 2008. It would also follow another top-rated program of MSNBC, “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.”

Since leaving “The View” in April, O’Donnell has been counting a number of offers, at some point being a very important candidate to take over the hosting on “The Price Is Right,” which was ultimately offered to Drew Carey.

Speaking of her desire to find a new source of employment, she posted a few comments on her blog in June: "Here's the thing. I don't really need a job. I'm in a weird position. I don't need the money. I know you're not allowed to talk about money in America, but I'm just saying I don't."

Negotiations are still on going between the former co-host of “The View” and MSNBC.

Until they come to an end, O’Donnell keeps herself busy being a recurring guest actor on FX”s “Nip/Tuck.” Moreover, her book, "Celebrity Detox” debuted at No. 5 on the New York Times Best selling non-fiction list last month.
