Rosie O'Donnell to Guest‑Star on The View’s 30th‑Anniversary Season

Rosie O'Donnell announced on the "Tangle With Kyle Ridley" podcast that she will appear as a guest on ABC’s daytime talk show The View during its 30th‑anniversary season. She said she will take part "in whatever way they want" and noted that the program plans to bring back all former hosts for the milestone. O'Donnell reflected on a past tense relationship with co‑host Whoopi Goldberg, stating, "When I was there last, I had sort of a tense time with Whoopi… I admired her EGOT status… I expected we would be like Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan… but that's not exactly what happened." She added that the two have moved past the friction and both support women. While her representatives clarified that no formal invitation has been extended, O'Donnell’s comments suggest a guest appearance rather than a permanent return. The announcement comes amid heightened political scrutiny of ABC and The View.

The View’s co‑host Whoopi Goldberg recently discussed her own high salary on the show, but that story is unrelated to O'Donnell’s return and is excluded from this summary.
