ROSIE O'DONNELL TO HOST A VARIETY SHOW ON NBC, AIRING NOVEMBER 26

Go Ro! Rosie O’Donnell is returning to television as host of a live variety show on NBC.

The network will air “Rosie’s Variety Show” as an hour-long special the night before Thanksgiving, with an eye toward expansion to a full series should viewers embrace the project.

The special will feature celebrity guests, musical acts, comedy skits and a prize give-away for the show’s in-studio and home audiences.

O'Donnell called the chance to host a primetime variety skein "a dream come true — old-time variety, live from New York, with a nod to Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett and memories of Sonny and Cher."
