Rosie O'Donnell Responds After Kathy Griffin Talks Jimmy Kimmel 'Snub'

  • On Thursday, comedian Rosie O'Donnell concluded her four-night guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live with a parody of the Irish folk song 'Danny Boy,' dedicated to President Donald Trump.
  • Prior to her Thursday show, the White House called O'Donnell a 'nasty woman' and 'total slob' in a statement to PEOPLE on Wednesday, Aug. 19, following her jokes about Trump's executive assistant Natalie Harp.
  • During the performance, O'Donnell sang 'Donny Boy,' mocking Trump's declining poll numbers and Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool algae issues while urging him to 'resign and make this country great again.'
  • O'Donnell received supportive words from singer Barbra Streisand, 84, on Thursday; she had told Variety ahead of the gig that she was 'surprised' to receive Kimmel's offer given their adversarial history.
  • Their public feud dates to 2006, and Trump recently suggested stripping O'Donnell's U.S. citizenship on Truth Social; O'Donnell, now living in Ireland, stated she does not intend to pursue late-night hosting.
