Rosie O’Donnell keeps playing it just right as guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Rosie knows everyone expects her to make jokes about Donald Trump. But she’s too smart for that. She doesn’t say his name at all. Tonight, she opened her monologue with this:
“A special hello to those of you watching from home and from the White House but I do have some bad news for President Petty Roosevelt. That’s all I’m going to say about you. You got to realize it’s time to hang up your wig and let Natalie tuck you in.” She waved at the camera, indicating Trump at home. “It’s time to go!”
And that’s it.
Otherwise, you feel like Rosie is an old school professional at running a talk show. She’s so confident and heart warming. Her bit tonight with Kimmel sidekick Guillermo was just charming, and Guillermo reciprocate with a funny report about his time on “Dancing with the Stars.”
She’s Really Rosie, and we’ve been the beneficiaries of her talents.
Trump must be seething that Rosie isn’t giving him anything to chew on.
