Overview
- On June 18 O'Donnell told Andy Cohen she would be “up to guest host” The View but added that ABC has not invited her.
- She repeated that she still holds a grudge over the show’s 2007 split-screen confrontation with Elisabeth Hasselbeck and blamed that moment for her abrupt 2007 exit.
- O'Donnell criticized Hasselbeck's return to daytime TV by saying Hasselbeck fits the network's preferences in the Trump era.
- The comedian moved to Ireland in January 2025 and has an ongoing public feud with President Trump that intensified after his July 2025 threat to try to rescind her citizenship.
- Her planned one-woman Broadway show this summer creates a practical window for possible guest spots, but there is no sign ABC has formally pursued her to appear.
