===2007–2012: ''The Rosie Show'' and blog ===
In March 2007, O'Donnell started a video blog, ''[[Jahero]]'', on her website Rosie.com answering fans questions, giving behind the scenes information and serving as a video diary. Originally featuring only O'Donnell and her hair and makeup artist [[Helene Macaulay]] they were soon joined by her writer from ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show'', [[Janette Barber]].<ref name="Rosie's 'View' Re">{{cite news|title=Rosie's "View" Review: Too Bad It's Beige|work=TMZ|date=September 5, 2007|url=https://www.tmz.com/2007/09/05/rosies-view-review-too-bad-its-beige/|access-date=February 20, 2008}}</ref> Called ''Jahero'', a name composed of the first two letters of each of their first names, they occasionally had short cameo appearances by ''View'' co-hosts Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Barbara Walters. [[Jenny McCarthy]] appeared once briefly, as has Hasselbeck's mother-in-law and O'Donnell's mother-in-law, her (now) ex-wife Kelli's mother. [[Kathy Griffin]] also appeared, where she read some of the questions. It became so popular that O'Donnell and her creative team considered an "on the road" version of the video blog using fan-submitted suggestions. O'Donnell was the front runner for the "best celebrity blogger" category in the 2007 Blogger's Choice Awards which she won.<ref name="Whitney Matheson">{{cite news|last=Matheson |first=Whitney |title=Pop Candy: As if you don't read enough blogs ...|newspaper=[[USA Today]] |date=April 26, 2007 |url=http://blogs.usatoday.com/popcandy/2007/04/as_if_you_dont_.html |access-date=July 11, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070702231006/http://blogs.usatoday.com/popcandy/2007/04/as_if_you_dont_.html |archive-date=July 2, 2007 }}</ref>

O'Donnell expressed interest in replacing long time host [[Bob Barker]] when he retired from [[CBS]]'s game show ''[[The Price Is Right (U.S. game show)|The Price Is Right]]''. Barker was a frequent guest on her talk show and told reporters that she "would make a fine host". Although it was reported he had "endorsed" her as a "possible successor", Barker said that he had no role in choosing his replacement.<ref name="successor">{{cite news|last=Massey|first=Liz|title=Barker Says O'Donnell Could Replace Him|work=todaysthv.com|agency=Associated Press|date=June 18, 2007|url=http://www.todaysthv.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=47600|access-date=March 16, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/barker-remarks-not-a-rosie-endorsement/|work=CBS News|agency=Associated Press|title=Barker: Remarks not a Rosie endorsement|date=June 20, 2007|access-date=March 16, 2011}}</ref> In June 2007, she announced on her blog it was not going to happen and noted she was reluctant to uproot her family to move to California.
