ROSIE’S RETURN

She’s baaaaaaaack!

Rosie O’Donnell is returning to her talk show roots in the form of satellite radio.

The media personality will host a daily, two-hour morning talk show, aptly titled Rosie Radio, for Sirius XM Radio Inc. Listeners will have the chance to call in and talk to the star about pop-culture, politics, movie stars, and more.

The deal came after the 47-year-old former co-host of The View’s candid appearance on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM show earlier this year.

“After I did his show, they called and asked if I was interested. I don’t really listen to radio, so I started thinking about it and listening,” says Ro. “I asked if they could possibly do it at my house because that would really make it convenient for me with four kids, and they said yes, so I was like, ‘Wow. Let’s try that.’”

“I think it’ll be good for me,” she adds of the new venture. “I’ve been lucky. I’ve had seven years of early retirement. All my kids are in school now, so all day long I have nothing to do. This was the first year that they were all in school all day, and I found myself very bored. I was saying to Kelli, we either need to get another kid or I’ll have to go back to work.”

Rosie Radio will air Monday through Friday on SIRIUS XM Stars, SIRIUS channel 102 and XM channel 155.
