Rosie O’Donnell’s variety show, “Rosie Live,” will be canceled after its pilot debuted to low ratings and bad reviews.
After the pilot episode of Rosie O’Donnell’s variety show, “Rosie Live,” debuted to bad reviews and low ratings, the former talk show host announced on her blog that the show has been canceled, according to People magazine.
After last week’s debut, O’Donnell wrote, "there will b no more. no ratings. bad reviews. yet still – a thrill 4 me."
The show attracted just five million viewers to the NBC production, which led the network to drop the show from its lineup. The show debuted last Wednesday, the same night that O’Donnell’s former View co-host, Barbara Walters, aired an interview with President-Elect Barack Obama and First Lady-to-be, Michelle Obama.
Viewership for O’Donnell’s show was lower than the ratings for Knight Rider, which typically airs at 8 p.m. on Wednesday.
“Rosie Live” featured celebrity guests such as Alanis Morissette, Alec Baldwin and Clay Aiken and earned a 1.2 preliminary rating among the 18-49 age group.
Last week’s debut marked O’Donnell’s return to television, though it was short-lived.
