I don’t really care to much for Oprah. I know she pays to promote herself as the most powerful richest woman in America but she does very little for me. Her show is all fluff and melodrama. I don’t care to waste my time with that stuff unless it is me or someone i know. I also don’t envision Oprah leaving the spotlight. Her extreme insecurity would not allow that.

@my four cents: Oh really, because I’ve heard from employees that they loved Rosie and their experience. She’s probably getting bombarded with ex-employees right now that want to work for her in 2011. The atmosphere was quite the opposite of what you described. Troll.

Well, we shall see…. Who will be on the show, and who’s willing to work for her. Who will demonstrate the melting of steel, and then sit down with Howard Stern and trash talk? Back in the days when Rosie was still, admittedly, ahem, cranky she was really much worse than that. Her coworkers blatantly called her a “bitch.” I was a contributor to Rosie’s magazine and can tell you that every staff editor I dealt with had nothing kind to say about her and lots of unkind things to volunteer. “She’s a screamer,” one editor told me. “Rosie rules by fear, threats and insults. She berates us and tells us we’re idiots — usually at the top of her lungs. Lucky for us she doesn’t come into the office very often. We usually just have to deal with her nasty emails and abusive phone calls, but when we hear that Rosie’s coming in, we dread it.

An authentic dose of life, love, and crazy coming your way in 2011.

@blackjack44: can’t say that i do, but i don’t think her brand ever had as much potency or selling power as Oprah’s.

I like Rosie. She is one of us. Nothing else necessary to discuss. Hopefully her show will be a smashing success.

@fredo777: do you not recall her 12 daytime emmys?

I think Rosie wll do really well. Even before she announced this I was thinking that Oprah’s departure was the perfect time for Rosie to come back. Back in the 1990s when Rosie had her own show it was a huge success that was second only to Oprah in the ratings for a while. Without having to compete with Oprah, the sky’s the limit for Rosie.

It’s a testament to how much social change Oprah has produced that not only did she elect the first black president, but the two people who are competing to replace her are both lesbians. The book FREAKS TALK BACK asserted years ago that tabloid talk show revolution of the 1990s (started by Donahue but turned into an industry by the success of Oprah) did more to make gays mainstream than any other development of the 20th century.

i never liked Rosie but her “talk” show was good at showcasing Broadway and was very popular before she came out. Also, I do think Rosie is abrasive but I sometimes feel she is needed on the left to balance people like Rush on the right.

Anyway, because I do hope she does well. The more powerful LGBT peeps there are in all types of businesses, then I feel it gets better for LGBT.

@@Geoff M: They were talking about her variety show special from 2008 not her talk show.

Ellen has nothing to worry about. The fact is, Rosies “awful” variety style show as queerty labeled it, was very popular, and ended on her say so. It got weird when she came out at the end and her whole disposition changed… so if she’s straying from the formula that originally worked for her she’s already sabotaging herself. I hope to god she doesn’t revisit that flock of seagulls hair monstrosity.

@AlwaysGay: It’s hard to kill what is already dead (the View). If you hadn’t mentioned it I would have never known it was still on. Long live Geritol.

NBC syndicated her show before and she loved them. I expect her only to sign with them. Ellen is also with NBC. I hope Rosie kills The View.
