Rosie O'Donnell to launch sketch show

by Anna Johns, posted Jan 10th 2006 12:38PM
Rosie O'Donnell is returning to television, but this time she'll be behind the camera. She partnered up with MTV to launch a sketch comedy show on MTV's new network, Logo. The channel targets gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender viewers. O'Donnell's sketch show is going to be a lot like Saturday Night Live, featuring up-and-coming comedians, political and pop culture satire, and even some musical numbers. The show will also include celebrity guests who are "friends of the LGBT community." Rosie is serving as the show's executive producer, and she will pair with writers from The Rosie O'Donnell Show, which aired from 1996-2002. When Logo launches launched on June 30, it was in an estimated 19 million homes.

This peaked my interest (mostly because that is the best picture of Rosie I've ever seen) and I was pretty sure that Logo had already been launched. I looked it up and it was already launched on June 30, 2005. As of September '05 it was in an estimated 18M homes (per wikipedia)

I can honestly say without a trace of irony or sarcasm that this will be the funniest show in the history of television. Rosie O'Donnell? Heavy-handed political and social commentary? What could POSSIBLY be funnier than that?
