Kid Ro Productions in association with Telepictures Productions will release a new DVD featuring selections from the first season of the daytime chat program "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," which often celebrated the Broadway stage.
Entitled "The Rosie O'Donnell Show—Season One: Rosie Reminisces," the 90-minute DVD features O'Donnell's interviews with Cher, Penny Marshall and her first guest, George Clooney. A scrapbook with original photos and captions, written by O'Donnell, is also included with the recording.
O'Donnell will discuss the DVD release on HSN (Home Shopping Network) Sept. 21. Her live appearances are scheduled for noon, 6 PM and 11 PM ET. She will also take calls from viewers.
"For the first time ever," DVD press notes state, "Rosie sits down and watches highlights of Season One and the loyal viewers get to be a part of it. Rosie reminisces about the behind the scenes stories as she remembers the fun and games that make up the premiere season of 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show.'"
Rosie O'Donnell made her Broadway debut as Rizzo in the 1994 revival of Grease!, played a limited engagement as the Cat in the Hat in the Ahrens-Flaherty musical Seussical, and portrayed Golde in the recent revival of Fiddler on the Roof. The performer also spent some time on the other side of the footlights as producer of the Broadway version of Boy George's Taboo.
O'Donnell rose to fame as a stand-up comic before landing roles in such films as "A League of Their Own," "Sleepless in Seattle," "The Flintsones" and "Exit to Eden." Her Emmy-winning talk show, "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," ran from 1996 to 2001, and her more recent TV credits include appearances on "Will & Grace" and "Queer as Folk" as well as the made-for-television movie "Riding the Bus with My Sister" and the cable series "Nip/Tuck." She also spent a year as co-host of ABC-TV's "The View."
O'Donnell is married to Kelli Carpenter O'Donnell; the couple has four children. O'Donnell's autobiography is titled "Find Me"; her newest book is "Celebrity Detox."
"The Rosie O'Donnell Show—Season One: Rosie Reminisces" is priced $19.95 and includes free shipping and handling. The DVD is being sold exclusively on HSN.
