Now really, I could care less what comes out of the mouth of Rosie O’Donnell, and so should you, but this little tidbit was just too good to pass up.

While out promoting her new HBO documentary, A Family Is A Family Is A Family: A Rosie O’Donnell Celebration (what?), at the Television Critic’s Association in Pasadena, California, a reporter asked O’Donnell if she would ever consider doing late night TV. Talk about a loaded question. That left the door wide open for even Rosie to fit through, and have her say on what’s been going on recently over at NBC in regards to the whole Conan/Leno (Con-Lo?) saga.

“That’s like asking would I like to vacation in Haiti,” said Rosie, referring to the fact that usually late night television is a nice place to visit, but has now been demolished by this whole drama. After the promotional session was over, O’Donnell made her stance on the whole thing even clearer:

“Conan is a fantastic talent…17 years he gave to NBC and they really did a disservice to him – I think shame on them.

I think shame on Jeff Zucker and really shame on Jay Leno. I think he’s forgotten his roots and who he is and what stand-up comedy is about. Graciousness has never been his number one quality. I think it would serve him well to think about what might happen if he were able to let go and grab onto whatever the next rung is. He should walk away. Five years ago he was told that he was no longer going to be the host. Joe Namath at one point was told, ‘You’re not going to be the quarterback anymore.’”

Like I said, I normally don’t care what Rosie has to say, but in this situation I have to applaud her for having the mango’s to stand up for Team Conan. You go, Rosie!

And now back to our regular scheduled flaming of Rosie O’Donnell.
