The deal with MSNBC is over. They said it was due to Rosie's reveal of the show, but it's also been reported that they couldn't afford her.

She's better suited for daytime, but as a good mommy is committed to being there for her children.

The NY Times writes: The NBC executive, who would only describe the negotiations on condition of anonymity, said a principal hurdle had been the length of a potential contract. To preserve her options, Ms. O’Donnell would only commit to a year, just as she had last year on “The View,” the executive said. But the network wanted a commitment of at least two years, so that it could take better advantage of the higher rates it anticipated charging advertisers on her program.

from Rosie's blog, she writes:
