Rosie wants this. And she wants to do it right. She doesn't want to duplicate her successful daytime talk show that started in the '90s, but she does want to go back to those roots and build on them.
If/when this happens, do expect a more subdued Rosie than that on THE VIEW. She is going to bring others onto her show with extreme opinions to share, rather than "blow them out of her own mouth." There will be current events & celebrities, crafts & cooking, Broadway & sketches, and yes, audience give-a-ways & games. Think of it as a combination of OPRAH + ELLEN + MARTHA STEWART.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
