Rosie O'Donnell has a new gig!
The ex-View host is getting a brand new show -- but you won't be seeing her -- it's for your ears only.
Ro will be launching her own daily, two-hour show for Sirius XM Radio this fall called, Rosie Radio -- a deal which came about after she spent some time with shock jock Howard Stern.
"He's been very encouraging," Rosie said of Howard. "After I did his show, they called and asked if I was interested. I don't really listen to radio, so I started thinking about it and listening. I asked if they could possibly do it at my house because that would really make it convenient for me with four kids, and they said yes, so I was like, 'Wow. Let's try that.' "
"I think it'll be good for me," she said of the new endeavor. "I've been lucky. I've had seven years of early retirement. All my kids are in school now, so all day long I have nothing to do. This was the first year that they were all in school all day, and I found myself very bored. I was saying to [partner] Kelli, we either need to get another kid or I'll have to go back to work."
Rosie Radio will air Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET (7 a.m. to 9:00 a.m, PT) on SIRIUS XM Stars, SIRIUS channel 102 and XM channel 155.
