Late Night with Seth Meyers

I love Rosie, she raises people up and stands up for what she believes in.

[sagesufferswell]

I haven't seen Rosie in ages, it's so nice to see her thriving. She's amazingly talented and makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

[rkeller]

Rosie is an excellent communicator, relaxed and honest, humorous and intelligent. I didn’t know I was missing her until this interview with Seth Meyers.

Rosie reminds me of all the awesome art teachers I had in school growing up — and she reminds me of the awesome leaders and champions fighting for progress in and around my city. I applaud you, Rosie, and keep your head up doing what you’re doing.

What a class act. Rosie is so honest, down to earth, and very real. As an added bonus, she has a sense of humor that is off the charts, and can deliver a line flawlessly, with no effort....and give you a belly laugh. She is a gift....love her.

When she appeared in the series as that amazing bartender, my partner and I both screamed. Loved the series, and loved seeing Rosie take part in it.

Miss Rosie's talk show. She was my childhood. Watched a league of their own hundreds of times. Happy she is still acting and being who she's always been. 💗

[bsquared]

So fun seeing Rosie out and about and hitting all the talk shows again. She always gives a shout out to Shirley Hemphill (What's happening! TV show) when she speaks of her beginnings in comedy. I think that's so kind of her.

[KJ_nyc]

Not only is Rosie a fabulous talk show host, one of the BEST, she's also a fantastic guest.

[Abigail_Wyatt]

She should have added the story about when she had a heart attack and the nurses were asking her if she thought Dottie dropped the ball on purpose!🤣 That’s how much people loved that freaking movie! 😁

[geocape]

I could listen to Rosie all day long and Seth is such a great host.

[donaldsaratoga]

Rosie is wonderful, as is Seth. This is the perfect example of what a talk show conversation should be!

[Nimuetootoo]

Rosie is a National Treasure - happy to see her here!

[camillejarrett]

I love Rosie! She seems so very genuine and it’s nice to see her in the limelight again.

[gordrum]

I couldn’t love Rosie more. Sensitive, inspiring, brutally authentic 💗

[imayb]

I love Rosie's positivity. She's forward looking, even while reminiscing and she sees good things for everyone.

[CatSpann]

Didn’t realize how much I’ve missed her, until this. Glad to see her doing well. 💕

[ryanschmidt]

I used to love coming home from school and my mom had her talk show on. I'd sit and watch it. It was my earliest experience to talkshow/comedy, and now I don't miss any of the late night stuff. When I was 11 years old I came home from school and my mom had the news on. I asked if we could watch Rosie and my mom said, "No, it's not going to be on today." I didn't understand why. That was 9/11.

[floormee]

Wish Rosie was in a studio as a talk show host!!! I miss her! She was a great part of my childhood!

[oceanlover]

I wish Rosie would do another talk show. She’s good at interviewing people and making them feel comfortable. She’s a natural.
