Rosie O’Donnell Creates Controversy on The View
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, News,
Is Rosie O’Donnell more than Barbara Walters can handle? First there was the big stink O’Donnell made over Kelly Ripa’s conflict with Clay Aiken when he co-hosted Live With Regis and Kelly. Now come O’Donnell’s remarks that have offended the Asian-American community. In response to the Danny DeVito drunken appearance, O’Donnell said, “The fact is that it’s news all over the world. That you know, you can imagine in China it’s like: ‘Ching chong. Danny DeVito, ching chong, chong, chong, chong. Drunk. The View. Ching chong.’ ” Ugh. Can you imagine why people are offended? Of course, she is quick to smooth the waters, posting on her web site, “It was not my intent to mock.” She also said that it was “comedy” and that she does “many accents and probably will continue to.”
New York City councilman John C. Liu sent a letter to View executive producer Barbara Walters and told FOXNews.com, “The ‘ching-chong’ bit is not a trivial matter. It really hits a raw nerve for many people in the community – many like myself, who grew up with these kinds of taunts. We all know that it never ends at the taunts.”
The group UNITY: Journalists of Color, issued the following statement: “By allowing O’Donnell’s cheap jab at Chinese Americans to go unchecked, the network is essentially condoning racial and ethnic slurs. It’s a practice that should not be tolerated in today’s diverse society. That’s our view.”

Barbara Walters OK With DeVito’s Drunken Appearance
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Gossip, Internet,
Danny DeVito appeared on The View yesterday, noticeably drunk after a night out with George Clooney. Rambling on and appearing to be suffering from lack of sleep (hey, who wants to sleep when they’re partying with Clooney?), the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-star managed to get through his interview. He was there to promote his upcoming Christmas film, Deck the Halls, also starring Matthew Broderick. Highlights of the interview included a never-ending blabberfest about the White House, with some comments about President Bush needing to be bleeped out. He even sat on Rosie O’Donnell’s lap. Yikes. Walters appeared uncomfortable during the interview and the co-hosts tried their best to steer him back on track. On Thursday’s show, Joy Behar commented that “He was drunk as a skunk.”
Following the appearance, DeVito left a message for Walters to apologize. Said Walters of the incident, “We love him, we’ll have him on again.”

It’s Always Sunny Gets a Third Season
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Ratings, Renewals,
This is the little sitcom that could… FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been renewed for a third season. Expect 15 new episodes for season three, an increase over the 10 from last year. Danny DeVito, who made a great addition to the second season, is expected to return for all of the episodes. Nick Grad, head of original programming at FX, said of the renewal, “We’re encouraged with the ratings growth, we love the show and think that creatively, it’s just hitting its stride. The fact that Danny DeVito is returning speaks highly about the quality of the writing.”
The second season saw an increase in viewers—drawing 1.3 million each week (compared to the first season, which only brought in a little over a million weekly). The majority of viewers are in the adults 18-49 target. Look for season three to premiere next summer.
