Rosie O’Donnell ‘Would Be Up’ to Guest Host on ‘The View,’ But ‘They Haven’t Asked Me’: ‘Mommy Knows How to Hold a Grudge’

Rosie O’Donnell stated on "Watch What Happens Live" this week that she would consider guest-hosting "The View" if asked. The question arose after former "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck made a guest appearance on the show. O'Donnell indicated that while she is open to the possibility, she has not received an invitation from the show's producers. She also commented on Hasselbeck's return, suggesting that "Mommy knows how to hold a grudge," implying a past conflict or tension between them. O'Donnell previously co-hosted "The View" from 2006 to 2007 and returned for a second stint from 2014 to 2015. Her openness to guest hosting suggests a potential willingness to revisit her role on the daytime talk show, despite past departures. The specific date of O'Donnell's "Watch What Happens Live" appearance was not provided, but the context places it within recent weeks.
