Overview
- Rosie O'Donnell told The Tangle podcast on Monday that she will “go on the 30th anniversary” of The View and will take part “just as a guest,” not as a full‑time co‑host.
- She emphasized she will appear “in whatever way they want” and said producers are planning to bring back many former hosts for the milestone season.
- A representative for O'Donnell clarified to multiple outlets that no formal ask from The View has been made and that conversations about guest invites have not been finalized.
- O'Donnell revisited past conflicts, saying she had a “tense” working relationship with Whoopi Goldberg during her 2014–2015 stint but that they have since “gotten past it,” and she criticized the show’s earlier, male‑led production culture where hosts were often cycled through.
- The announcement comes as O'Donnell is due to guest‑host Jimmy Kimmel Live! later this month, a move that keeps her in the media spotlight ahead of Season 30 planning.
