O'Donnell -- who won six consecutive Daytime Emmys for The Rosie O'Donnell Show from 1996 to 2002 -- said she is thrilled to be setting up shop in Oprah's adopted hometown.
"I just wanted to say hi, and I'm coming to Chicago," O'Donnell said in her video blog posted by People on Tuesday. "It's a huge thrill for me, and I'm beyond the beyond."

That's not cool. If you've listened to Rosie on XM, you would know she has a lot of class and integrity.
She's very generous and gives a ton to really great charities. I can't wait to see her on her new show. I only wish they'd do it from NY.

Her first guest will be the mom from Midwest City Oklahoma, who shot 2 (killing 1) home invaders, protecting her kids, who Rosie will attack her over her gun ownership. smirk
