Rosie is coming back with a gabfest, but this time for a good cause as America and the world deals with the ramifications from the COVID-19 virus.  Resurrecting her Daytime Emmy-winning talk show for one night, O’Donnell will have a live-stream show that bows this Sunday night March 22nd at 7PMEST/6PMCST via Broadway.com and its You Tube Channel.

The live-stream will feature interviews and special guest appearances with the likes of: Matthew Broderick, Kristin Chenoweth, Darren Criss, Gloria Estefan, Billy Porter, Morgan Freeman and many more.

Due to the economic hardships that hit productions in the entertainment industry at this time, Rosie is raising money for the Actors Fund, a non-profit that supports performers and behind-the-scenes workers in the arts.

In a statement, Rosie shared: “Everybody who knows me knows that Broadway has been one of the brightest lights in my life since the time I was a little girl. It has also been the lifeblood of New York City for generation after generation.  After all, Broadway has given to the world, now — in this time of tremendous need — it’s our turn to give something back. There is no better way to support this community than via The Actors Fund. And, with a line-up like this, I dare you not to tune in.”

As daytime fans know, you could not go anywhere in the mid 90’s without Rosie being on everyone’s lips as her series became wildly successful and popular, winning five Daytime Emmys in the process for Outstanding Talk Show.  The show wrapped in 2002.   Deadline had broken the news of this one-night event during the global pandemic coming this Sunday.

She was my favorite of all the daytime talk shows that were around back then. she didn’t have one bad show. I was in tears of joy when she got her idol Barbra Streisand to do her show and the day she got her crush Tom Cruise on. There was never anyone like her before she did her show and there hasn’t been since her show went off the air. I will be tuning in for this for sure!!!

Andy Kaufman to be Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame

The late comedian, Andy Kaufman has been announced as an inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023.

Kaufman, who was best-know as Latka Gravas in the hit sitcom Taxi from 1978-1983, loved pro wrestling and used it in a gimmick quite often in his comedy routine including several times on Saturday Night Live.

Andy eventually declared himself the ‘Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World’, offering money to any woman who could pin him as part of his act.  This led to a feud with fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry “The King” Lawler.

As the ruse continued, Lawler and Kaufman convinced the audience they were bitter enemies. Some of the highlights of their faux feud included: Kaufman claiming that Lawler broke his neck when Lawler performed a piledriver on him, and the two trading insults on Late Night with David Letterman before Lawler slapped Kaufman, knocking Andy out of his chair.

Lynne Margulies, Kaufman’s partner, even received a book deal over the antics. It was called Dear Any Kaufman, I Hate Your Guts.  The contents were from a compilation of hate mail, Andy received from the women he challenged to wrestle on Saturday Night Live.

Sadly, Kaufman died from lung cancer and was never a smoker back in 1984.  He was only 34-years-old.

In an ironic twist to the upcoming ceremony, Lawler recently suffered another stroke back in February of this year, and while he would be the perfect choice to induct Hoffman into the Hall of Fame, it is unclear at this time if he would even be able to.

Kaufman joins Rey Mysterio Jr. and The Great Muta as the class of 2023 thus far.

The Hall of Fame ceremonies that will stream live on Peacock direct from Los Angeles on March 31st, the night before Wrestlemania 39 begins.

Check out two of Andy’s matches – one against a woman from Memphis Wrestling and one from his battles with Jerry Lawler.
