ROSIE ON THE VIEW. AGAIN.

Last week Rosie O'Donnell announced she would not return as host of "The View" next year, and now it seems that Roseanne Barr has emerged as the top contender to replace her. The New York Post says:

…several names have surfaced as possible replacements.  Among them are Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Kathie Lee Gifford and Connie Chung. Out of all of them, Roseanne seems to be the best fit. "It's going to be hard for them to follow Rosie," says an industry insider. "Roseanne could be the only one capable of pulling it off." "She's a piece of work, she's a character, she says what's on her mind and she's funny.  They're missing strong personalities on that show, and that's what they're going to need if they want to keep it going," an ABC staffer close to the situation told the Post.

Hmm, seems to me someone's trying to pull the old "fat-girl switch-a-roo".  I've seen this before.  And it's risky.  Damn risky.  But by golly, maybe, just maybe…
