OlderRosie O’Donnell’s Variety Show Canceled!
Rosie O’Donnell tried to revive the variety show format with Rosie Live! this Wednesday. Apparently the show flopped, with only 5 million tuning in to watch the NBC special.
Rosie, 46, blogged, “There will b no more. No ratings. Bad reviews. Yet still – a thrill 4 me… If the bloggers didnt like it, I knew it didn’t work.”
The reason for the cancellation was” “Not enough rehearsal. The live part wasn’t a plus. The in-theater experience didn’t transfer to TV. It was a pilot, meaning u try it [and] see if it works. Then if they pick it up, u fix it.”
But variety shows aren’t dead! In good spirits, Rosie says, “Many people r gonna try a variety show. One will work. Ellen tonight. The Osbournes have one. John Mayer. Check them out.”

I bet Rosie popped a chubby when Barack HUSSEIN Obama won the election.
I think that Rosie had a great run about 10 years ago. However, like all celebs she had a down fall . She tried to get back up, and the variety show idea, is definately soemthing that I alwasy wanted to see done again. The timing is right, but there has to be more support from the people, maybe Rosie is not the host people want t o see right now, but the variety show will come back.
Rosie had some very good thoughts and ideas but no one can hear them through the screaming. In the field of cooking they say presentation is 50% of it. In the field of entertainment it may even be higher. You can still be true to yourself while changing your presentation style.
