Rosie O'Donnell would be willing to return to The View as a guest host.

Nearly two decades after her turbulent first stint on the daytime talk show and years after her highly publicised clashes with former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the comic, 64, declared she is thinking about a TV comeback during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

The comedian, actress and television personality was asked whether she would consider returning to The View in a guest-hosting capacity, following Elisabeth Hasselbeck's recent appearance on the programme.

Rosie was a panellist on the ABC show between 2006 and 2007 before briefly returning in 2014 and 2015.

Her original tenure remains one of the most discussed periods in the programme's history, largely because of her on-air disputes with Elisabeth.

Her new comments also come amid continued attention surrounding Rosie's move to Ireland and her ongoing criticism of Donald Trump, 80, with whom she has feuded publicly for years.

Asked whether she would return to the programme, Rosie said: "I would be up to guest host, but they haven't asked me. So we'll see what happens."

She also reflected on Elisabeth's political views and her place in modern television.

Rosie said: "It's interesting, in the time of Trump, I think she's the perfect person they want on TV spouting their rhetoric, you know?"

The comedian later revisited one of the most famous moments from her time on The View - a heated on-air argument with Elisabeth over the Iraq war in May 2007.

The confrontation became a defining moment in daytime television after producers switched to a split-screen shot showing both women as the exchange escalated.

Host Andy asked: "Are you still annoyed that the director went to the split screen?"

Rosie replied: "Yeah, I'm still annoyed.

"Believe me. Mommy knows how to hold a grudge."

The split-screen moment has remained a source of frustration for Rosie.

During a radio interview last year, she suggested the production decision had been planned in advance.

She said: "Our producer (was) not an on-the-fly kind of guy… he wouldn't have been like, 'Let's go to a split-screen.' That was prepared."

Following the fallout from the incident, Rosie asked to be released from her contract with ABC and departed the programme shortly afterwards.

Rosie remains one of the most recognisable figures in American entertainment.

Alongside her work as a talk-show host, she is known for films including Sleepless in Seattle, A League of Their Own and The Flintstones, as well as The Rosie O'Donnell Show, which earned multiple Emmy Awards during its run.

In recent years, however, attention has increasingly focused on her political activism and long-running feud with Donald. The dispute intensified in July 2025 after Donald publicly suggested he would seek to revoke Rosie's citizenship, despite lacking the constitutional authority to do so.

Rosie responded in a post on Instagram, writing: "The president of the usa has always hated the fact that i see him for who he is - a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself - this is why i moved to Ireland."

Rosie relocated to Ireland in January 2025 with her child Clay, now 14, following the 2024 US presidential election.

Despite the move, she is expected to return to the United States this summer to perform her one-woman Broadway show, Common Knowledge.
