#RosieODonnell showed she hasn’t slipped at all since her days hosting her 1990s-era talk show 'The Rosie O’Donnell Show' when she substituted for Jimmy Kimmel as a guest host on ABC’s 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'⁠ ⁠ You probably expected O’Donnell, after leaving Donald Trump’s America for Ireland in 2025 in search of “a more peaceful life,” to come out swinging at the president, or to come across the way conservatives paint her — angry and strident, going full blast at Trump’s second-term corruption allegations and policy blunders.⁠ ⁠ What viewers got instead during the first night of her weeklong stint was so much better and more interesting, a monologue that said a lot about her and even more about what’s lacking in typical late night discourse. She told anecdotes about Ireland’s drinking culture, cab drivers, being a famous person abroad and, especially, her attempt to romance a kindly pharmacist.⁠ ⁠ Watch a clip of her 15-minute opener at the link in bio.
