Season 17

Actress, comedian, producer, and all-around entertainment icon Rosie O’Donnell returned to the Stern Show for a wide-ranging interview covering everything from the gift she gave to a recently paroled Martha Stewart to the Broadway musical she once talked rock legend David Bowie into enduring. Her sit-down with Howard also touched upon meeting her girlfriend on social media, Rosie’s reaction to “the slap,” and the 60-year-old’s recent transformation from daytime TV royalty into the star of three wildly different TV dramas. She appears as a bartender on Amazon’s acclaimed “A League of Their Own” reboot, a detective investigating Jon Bernthal on Showtime’s racy “American Gigolo” reprisal, and a public defender on Showtime’s romance drama “The L Word: Generation Q.”
