Rosie O'Donnell revisits explosive 'The View' showdown with Elisabeth Hasselbeck
O'Donnell reveals she occasionally revisits the on-air clash to remember how it felt
Rosie O'Donnell recalls she occasionally watches her infamous on-air argument with former The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck nearly two decades after it made headlines.
The comedian reflected on the fallout during a game of "Truth or Dare" while promoting her one-woman show Common Knowledge.
O'Donnell recalls fallout with Hasselbeck
Asked to name her favourite and least favourite The View co-host, O'Donnell said Hasselbeck was "the most problematic."
She explained that the pair had a good relationship until it "blew up on national TV" during their widely publicised 2007 argument over the Iraq War.
O'Donnell admitted she sometimes revisits the heated exchange.
"Sometimes I watch that one," she said, adding that she does so to remember what the moment felt like.
She has previously claimed the split-screen broadcast of the confrontation was planned by producers, describing it as a "setup," while Hasselbeck has publicly rejected that allegation.
Joy Behar remains her favourite co-host
O'Donnell named Joy Behar as her favourite The View co-host, citing their long friendship and years performing stand-up comedy together before joining the daytime talk show.
She also said she would consider returning as a guest for The View's 30th anniversary but has little interest in debating politics on television.
According to O'Donnell, political arguments are "not the best use" of her time or talent, although she described herself as "a very patriotic American."
