It's Official: Rosie's Headed to NBC Prime Time!
NBC is cooking up one juicy Thanksgiving appetizer for viewers this year: Rosie O'Donnell!
The polarizing funny lady has inked a deal with NBC to headline an hour-long variety show/backdoor pilot to air live in prime time on Thanksgiving eve, Nov. 26.
Appropriately titled Rosie's Variety Hour, the special will kick off with an incendiary topical monologue and feature celebrity guests, musical acts, comedy skits, and a "giant" giveaway for both the in-studio and home audiences.
"This is a dream come true for any performer," O'Donnell said in a statement. "Old time variety, live from New York with a nod to Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett and memories of Sonny and Cher."
For now, Rosie's Variety Hour is just a one-off special. But if this thing's a hit -- it'll become a regular fixture on NBC's schedule.
We can guess who some of her guests will not be.
