The Harpo studios won't be vacant for long. Rosie O'Donnell announced today via her blog that starting in May she will inhabit the Oprah set to begin work on her new talk show, hosted on the OWN network.The announcement is official as the one and only Oprah released a statement earlier today stating, “I’m delighted to welcome Rosie to the studio I’ve called home for so many years. Speaking from experience, she will be working with the best team in television in one of the greatest cities in the world.”
So is this Oprah 2.0? Not exactly. O’Donnell told O magazine that her new show will be less celebrity-driven. “The show will be about real people and real issues,” she said. “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.”
Whether or not you are a fan of Rosie or Oprah, we are definitely fans of Oprah's hundreds of former Chicago employees retaining their jobs in production.
