Rosie O'Donnell's New Talk Show to Tape at Oprah's Old Soundstage!

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Broadway veteran Rosie O'Donnell will be taking her new show to Chicago, taking over Orah's old soundstage.

O'Donnell commented: "I just wanted to say: Hi, I'm coming to Chicago. Yes, I am, and I'm thrilled about it. And I get to work with all of you, who have created magnificent television for two decades-plus. Thank you, Oprah. And thank all you people there. Some of you are going to be sticking around and helping us make a kick-ass show for the Oprah Winfrey Network."

The annuoncement ends speculation that O'Donnell would be filming the new show in New York at an off-Broadway venue- New World Stages or the Little Shubert.

On what to expect from the new daytime talkshow (which will air on OWN), O'Donnell added: "The show will be about real people and real issues. I'll focus on a single topic for one hour, things people deal with every day. Raising children. The education system in America. Autism. Relationships, health, weight, depression - and happy stuff too, of course. I envision the show being full of love and laughter."
