Rosie O'Donnell open to returning to 'The View,' laments 'they haven't asked me'

Rosie O'Donnell revealed that she would be open to guest hosting ABC's "The View" during an appearance on Andy Cohen's show on Thursday, but said they haven't asked her back.

A fan asked O'Donnell during Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," "While you're in New York, would you be interested in guest hosting on 'The View' like Elisabeth Hasselbeck did? And did you get a chance to catch her on it?"

O'Donnell said, "I did catch her on it. And I would be up to guest host, but they haven't asked me, so we'll see what happens."

Hasselbeck guest hosted the liberal talk show earlier this year while Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin was on maternity leave. O'Donnell hosted the show between 2006 and 2007, and again for a few months in 2014.

"But you know, listen, it's interesting. In the time of Trump, I think she's the perfect person they want on TV spouting their rhetoric," she said of Hasselbeck's appearance.

Hasselbeck clashed with the liberal talk show hosts during her return on this season of "The View."

Cohen asked O'Donnell if she was still annoyed over the infamous exchange between her and Hasselbeck from 2007, where the show displayed a split-screen of the two women arguing over the Iraq war.

"Yeah, I'm still annoyed. Believe me. A mommy knows how to hold a grudge," O'Donnell said.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel revealed during one of his shows last week that he asked O'Donnell to host his late-night program while he's on vacation for two months.

"We have assembled a potent group of hosts to fill in for me, beginning with Tiffany Haddish, Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Jelly Roll and, as a special treat for our commander in chief, I asked one of his all-time favorites — Rosie O’Donnell, to be here to keep the hits coming," Kimmel said. "And all I ask in return, Mr. President, is that you don’t do anything stupid while I’m gone, OK?"

O'Donnell, a longtime Trump critic, moved to Ireland after President Donald Trump won the 2024 election. She brazenly claimed last week during an interview that Kamala Harris, the former vice president, had actually won the 2024 election.

"Part of the reason that I left is I never in a million years thought we would put a convicted felon who tried to start an insurrection back in office. How did that happen? I don't think it happened. I think Kamala won. I do," she said on Jim Acosta's podcast. "And I think that we're going to find all this out. It's going to come out and it – I'm not the first person to say this. There are all these researchers who were saying it. I read it online again today."
