NEW YORK (AP) — Rosie O'Donnell is back on "The View" for a most unexpected second act.

ABC said Thursday that O'Donnell will return to the daytime chatfest, whose couch is nearly empty with the on-air retirement of show creator Barbara Walters and impending departures of Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd.

O'Donnell, the veteran comedian and daytime host, spent a combative eight months on "The View," ending in 2007. She feuded with since-departed conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

O'Donnell came back as a guest on "The View" earlier this year, a sign that relations had thawed.

1. Without a moron righty to argue with, what point will there be in this, I am a fan

but she needs an idiot to talk down to...

[Voice for Peace]

14. you do know Sarah Palin is considering joining the view? I don't think she has been invited

but she has expressed interest. Would love to see a conversation between them.

[dixiegrrrrl]

29. It would be a short conversation. Palin only has 2 hands.

[YOHABLO]

17. So I suppose someone like C.E.Cupp? How much does a gig like the View bring in $?

[ReRe]

2. I might watch once in a while, if Rosie is coming back!

Otherwise, I never watch it... Give 'em Hell, Rosie!

[SummerSnow]

3. Is Hasselbeck going to call Barbara Walters..

" How could you Barbara, sob sob sob"

[katmondoo]

4. There has been talk of Palin coming on the View

I never watch this show but if Palin was on with Rosie it could be fun

[dsc]

7. rosie supposedly has been given some power over who is cast

and has said no reality stars, that would seem to nix Palin

[bluedigger]

9. I'm not sure I'd call Caribou Barbie a "reality star".

I think you'd need a successful show, at least. Now "surreality star", I could go along with that.

[Cha]

24. Really. That's the last word I'd think of to describe palin. Now if complete idiots are off

the table too.. then we're safe.

[7962]

11. Never happen. Palin cant talk off-the-cuff; she's gotta have text. Too stupid.

[snooper2]

5. Is Sherri Shepherd leaving so she can travel the country and look for her brain?

[KamaAina]

10. DUzy!!

[MADem]

20. After regaling the audience (who didn't give a shit) about her romance and wedding with

"Sal," she's now in the midst of a knock-down, drag out divorce, there are allegations of cheating, and there's a BABY in the mix--a surrogate is having the child in a few weeks, and "sources say" Sherri doesn't want anything to do with the child as it is not biologically hers and she believes Lamar defrauded her into parenthood so he could get child support from her.

That lasted, what, five minutes?

6. I care about this WHY?

I never watched "The View" before. Now I'll be sure not to tune in in the future.

[LittleGirl]

8. Love Rosie

and rarely if ever watched and missed the fireworks the last time she was on. I saw the clips.
Whoopie and Rosie will be great!

[7962]

12. Maybe she'll do an episode on how fire cant melt steel. Meh.

She's a truther. Zero credibility.

[olddad56]

21. yeah, because the truth is a sign of no credibility to some morons.

[7962]

25. If you believe fire cant melt steel, YOU'RE the moron. A "truther" has nothing to do with TRUTH.

Thats Rosie's opinion; fire cant melt steel. she's an idiot.
I'm sure her contract wont be renewed. Who knows, she may have changed since she had her heart incident. That tends to make people look at things and act differently.

[IronGate]

28. Let me guess.

You're one of those that believes fire can't melt steel? Are you in agreement with Rosie?
Doesn't matter that Rosie's coming back to the View, it seems every time she gets involve with some TV show, it goes down the crapper.

[Android3.14]

13. If anyone cares about this

I would suggest you buy a t-shirt with the words "Part of the problem" printed across the chest.

[navarth]

15. If I may

perhaps there could be some good from it if the doofuses watching it get a little food for thought. Maybe it could happen? But then they would turn off the tv. As they should.

[7962]

26. Now THATS good stuff!

[OldRedneck]

16. I'm confused . . . .

I thought Sarah Failin' was a shoo-in for the seat on The View!!!!

[davidpdx]

18. I'm not a big fan of Rosie O'donnell

Having her and Hassellbeck together was a mistake. Whoopi Goldberg is going to have her hands full.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. So they're replacing an anti-vaccine loon with a 9/11 troofer loon

There are better representatives of the left out there.
If they wanted a celebrity-turned-activist, go with Garofalo or Margaret Cho, or someone who's not insane.

[7962]

27. Post #21 says you're a moron. Along with me.

[Hofbrau]

22. How early 2000s of them...

[sakabatou]

23. As Dr. Cox once said...
