Barbs on the Late-Night Stage

Across her stint, O'Donnell repeatedly targeted Trump, joking about his marriage to Melania, quipping she's lived in Ireland "because of Mango Mussolini," likening him to an Oompa Loompa, and thanking the president for raising her profile through their long-running feud. She also quipped he spent more nights watching her week than with Melania.

Signing Off With Song and a Message

O'Donnell closed her final show with a Danny Boy-style parody, opening with "Oh Donny boy, it's Rosie, Rosie calling," and ending with a sung plea for Trump to step down. Ahead of the guest stint she told Variety she was "surprised" to get the offer, praised Kimmel's defense of free speech, and said she wished Stephen Colbert had received similar support.
