Overview
- O'Donnell told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she would be willing to guest-host The View if the show asked her, though she said no invitation has been made.
- She made the remark on Thursday and used the moment to criticize former cohost Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s conservative views, saying Hasselbeck is now the person networks want on air during the time of President Trump.
- The exchange revived a long-running feud rooted in a May 2007 on-air argument that used a split-screen shot; O'Donnell has previously called that split-screen a 'set-up' and said she left ABC after the incident.
- Reporters note O'Donnell has lived in Ireland since January 2025 after clashes with President Trump and that she publicly attacked him in social posts; those details come from reporting rather than official statements.
- Page Six reports O'Donnell will be stateside this summer to stage a one-woman Broadway show, a visit that could create an opportunity for TV appearances though the Broadway engagement has not been confirmed by other outlets.
