This is such a great interview, Rosie, and I just put your two books on my wish list. Anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend.

Nothing like Hitler!!!! Ask those who were sent to concentration camps and murdered. You need TRUTH.

He uses the rhetoric of Hitler to describe immigrants. He longs for a unified reich. He has opened one concentration camp.

If you object to trump bring compared to Hitler, he should stop speaking and acting like Hitler.

Oh, Anne, open your eyes and see the writing. You sound like all the other ‘good Germans’. Leave the cult, they don’t care about you.

Great interview as a long time fan I can contest that Roise is a genuine talent and truly generous person

She once sent me tickets to see her live in Hairspray was the thrill of a lifetime

I flew to NYC to her book signing she was so warm and caring

I’ve been to a taping of the Rosie show nothing but love ❤️

Hopefully I’ll get to Ireland 🇮🇪 to have that beer we always have talked about for so many years

Nothing but love for my friend Ro

Be Well as I’ve always told her

Keep speaking truth to power, shining that light, being you in all of your Technicolor multi-faceted glory! If other people can’t handle it, that’s entirely their problem. The world is a brighter and better place with you in it, Rosie.

I remember way back when, when VH1 used to run those comedy shows with the still rather unknown stand-up comedians. Rosie was on a lot. My father used to watch them, and he just LOVED Rosie. I'd sit and watch them with him sometimes and we'd laugh our asses off. Such a wonderful memory, but that was my first of Rosie. I loved watching her talk show, shooting those Kooshes out into the audience, so much fun! I have learned to really listen to Rosie, and truly hear what she says. She's a lightning rod, and it seems that either you love her or you hate her. I'm for the former. I love Rosie. I would love to meet her one day, shake her hand, and thank her for the laughs.... and the enlightenment. <3
