Rosie O'Donnell Variety Show Commercials

rosie o'donnell Have you seen any of the commercials for Rosie O’Donnell’s new variety show, Rosie Live?  They almost remind me of the ads for the Bonnie Hunt Show (same kind of humor, you know?).  Anyway, I am definitely going to give it a shot. 

Here’s the first promo which features Rosie at a press conference where people don’t seem to remember who she is (come on!).  At the end, she mentions that she used to have a talk show and someone says "Oprah?" and she says no and then someone says "Ellen?" and she says "you’re gettin’ closer."  Ha ha!

In this second ad, Rosie poses as a security guard who is approached by a little girl named Sally, who has some questions about the show.  Here is a bit of the dialogue:

Sally – "Will Rosie tell off a famous billionaire"
Rosie – "Oh little Sally, he’s not a billionaire." 

I’m guessing that is in reference to Rosie’s feud with Donald Trump.

Sally – "Will Rosie yell at a skinny little Republican?"
Rosie – "No, no Sally.  She did that for almost a year." 

Clearly, they are talking about Rosie’s frequent arguments with Elisabeth Hasselbeck from her days on The View.

Watch the whole of the promo here:
