Overview

  • Rosie O'Donnell said Monday on The Tangle podcast that she will appear as a guest for The View's 30th season and suggested the show is planning to bring back former hosts.
  • Hours after her comments, a representative for O'Donnell told USA TODAY that no formal invitation or ask has been issued by the show.
  • The View executive producer Brian Teta posted on X that plans are underway for the 30th season but that no invites have gone out, leaving the anniversary roster still being finalized.
  • Page Six and other outlets reported that some former hosts felt confused or sidelined by O'Donnell's initial wording, a reaction that prompted spokespeople to issue clarifications.
  • O'Donnell's remarks recalled her contentious 2007 and 2015 exits and a past tense with Whoopi Goldberg that both say they have since resolved, and she will also guest host Jimmy Kimmel Live! later this month.
