Bless you, internet. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have known how Rosie O’Donnell reacted to Barbara Walters saying she should “get on with her life” yesterday morning until her interview with Conan O’Brien that night. But thanks to the information superhighway, Rosie had a vlog up by 5:00pm, complete with reaction shots, the Billy Elliott: The Musical photo taken last week, Eminem‘s “Without Me” and a crack about Debbie Matenopolous. Harness that technology, Rosie!
Not that she was out of sarcasm by the time she hit Late Night. Here’s what she told Conan:
Apparently, “Lady,” she was talking about this lady, which it hurt her feelings. And truthfully, in spite of the fact that she now loathes me, I still do enjoy her. Yeah. I’m not sure I’m gonna be a guest on that show again because it didn’t go down well. But, you know, I tried my best. I told them when they hired me that I had never worked on a show before where I wasn’t the boss, and that there was a chance that might cause some problems.
Listen, I don’t want to dump on the show in order to benefit my own career, you know, to use it for publicity because I didn’t have a career before that show. So, I’m very thankful to The View for the help that it’s given me in my life. And I’m a big fan of the program and the producer.
Ignore her, Barbara! You’ve got your hands full with the co-hosts you’re working with now; Rosie’s out of your hands. Just smile politely and send her a bouquet when her variety show tanks.
