Rosie O'Donnell Closes Guest-Hosting Week on KIMMEL With a Song for Trump
The comedian reflected on her guest-hosting week before ending the show with an unusual musical send-off.
Rosie O'Donnell used her final night as guest host of Jimmy Kimmel LIVE to look back on the week and deliver a pointed musical send-off, closing out the episode with a song directed at Donald Trump. Before the performance, O'Donnell touched on a range of topics, including plans to return to Ireland and a joking pitch to become the next Golden Bachelorette.
O'Donnell also weighed in on more serious material during her farewell segment, addressing COVID cases surging in almost every state and remarking that the country's fate is in the hands of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She mentioned receiving an email from Barbra Streisand, adding a personal touch to her final broadcast, and closed the show with a song for what she described as a very special boy.
Throughout her week filling in on the ABC late-night program, O'Donnell noted that Sydney James Harcourt was her crush during his appearance on the show.
Harcourt's appearance alongside O'Donnell was previously covered by BroadwayWorld, when he discussed the closing of CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL and the release of his debut single during the same guest-hosted week.
