Rosie O'Donnell will helm a live variety show for NBC on the day before Thanksgiving, possibly opening up possibilities for a regular show, according to Reuters.
Rosie's Variety Show will air on November 26 at 8 p.m. The hour-long broadcast will include celebrity guests, musical acts, comedy sketches, and audience contests.
"This is a dream come true for any performer," O'Donnell said in a statement. "Old-time variety, live from New York, with a nod to Ed Sullivan, Carol Burnett, and memories of Sonny and Cher."
"We want to show people that variety can be done in a new and inventive way for 2008," NBC executive vice president Craig Plestis told Variety. "We hope to do it in ways you haven't seen before. It's going to be the YouTube of variety shows." (Michelle Garcia, The Advocate)
