Rosie O’Donnell

Hi everybody,

I wanted to make sure that everyone knew about Rosie’s new variety show.  It’s going to be LIVE at 8:00 o’clock on Wednesday November 26th
on NBC.  There is going to be singing and dancing and belly laughing skits! 

Actually… I’m not an authority on it, with fancy special inside information.  I’m just imagining it will have all those fabulous things because that’s what live variety shows are. 

And how nice will it be in these troubled times to pop myself a bowl of popcorn, sit back on the sofa, turn the channel to NBC and and let go of all my worries watching people sing and dance amazingly well.

Like those little Broadway Kids that Rosie has taken from the hard-knock streets and with one of her many charitable foundations has given them a school and the chance to experience first hand the thrill and magic of the theater.  And she did this because Rosie knew what really feeds the soul.  Food is nice, as is shelter and a warm place to sleep, but dance, song and theater, that is what makes the heart soar.  Makes the spirit dream big. 

It’s going to be wonderful to see.  I saw Rosie’s Broadway kids dancing a happy birthday song to Rachael Ray and they were fantastic!

And another thing that’s going to be so great about Rosie’s new show is I just bet there is going to be ... LOTS OF CONFETTI!!!

Nothing makes a good time seem even happier like falling multi-colored confetti.

So, everybody, make sure you mark it in your calendar.  Rosie O’Donnell’s new variety show, LIVE at 8:00 o’clock on Wednesday November 26th
on NBC  If enough people watch the network will pick it up and make it a regular show.  And that would be great!

Oh, and another thing, even if you aren’t partial to Rosie, but you like me… then you aren’t off the hook.  Do it as a favor to me.  Put the t.v. on and then go read a book if singing and dancing doesn’t rock your boat, because the more people that have their TV’s switched to that channel the better chance it has of flying, and I really, really want this to work for her.

Thanks!  xo
