Rosie O’Donnell, the comedian and former talk show host, recently served as a guest host for 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on ABC. During her opening monologue, O’Donnell made a direct reference to President Donald Trump, stating, "I know you’re watching." This comment follows a period of public tension between the two, which has frequently been the subject of media headlines in recent months.
Despite the history of public feuding, O’Donnell’s appearance did not center on political grievances. Instead, she dedicated the majority of her monologue to discussing her recent move to Ireland. O’Donnell noted that she relocated to the country following the start of President Trump’s second administration. She described her experience living abroad, focusing on the cultural and personal comforts she has found since leaving the United States.
While the mention of the President was brief, it served as a focal point for media coverage regarding her return to late-night television. The Hill reports that O’Donnell intentionally gave the President "little air" during the broadcast, prioritizing her personal narrative over a critique of the administration. There is no indication that the President has responded to the comments made during the monologue.
