Ex-'View' host in discussions to join cable channel

Rosie O'Donnell, who's been cooling her broadcasting heels since leaving "The View" earlier this year, may be getting back into the game.

The former daytime talk-show host is in discussions with MSNBC to host a prime-time show on the news channel. Though the talks are in their early stages, it's possible she could step into the competitive 9 p.m. ET spot, The New York Times reports.

If a deal comes down, O'Donnell would be stepping into a timeslot opposite "Hannity & Colmes" on Fox News and "Larry King Live" on CNN. Both shows regularly beat up on MSNBC in the ratings; the channel's current 9 o'clock offering is "Live with Dan Abrams."

The Times, quoting NBC executives, says a number of details still have to be worked out, including compensation and when a possible O'Donnell show would premiere.

It's probably wise to take the news with at least a pinch of salt. Since leaving "The View" O'Donnell has been rumored to be doing everything from hosting "The Price Is Right" to guest-starring on "Friday Night Lights," and nothing thus far has come to fruition.

She will be reprising a guest-starring role on FX's "Nip/Tuck" later this season.
