Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah Winfrey are teaming up to promote a new show on Oprah's OWN network simply titled "The Rosie Show."
Canoe reports that the announcement was made during Winfrey's surprise visit to the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills earlier today.
Canada's Corus has said it will air "The Rosie Show" as well as Winfrey's new series "Your Own Life" -- a retrospective of 25 years worth of material from Oprah's award winning, daytime talk show.
As for O'Donnell, she says she is totally thrilled to be working with the media mogul and said that working with her “feels like being knighted in a way. I still get nervous when (Winfrey) calls.”
The pair have supported each other both on and off camera -- and in December 2010, O'Donnell helped quash rumors about the sexuality of Harpo Production's CEO by stating that Oprah Winfrey is not gay.
Rosie's show is scheduled to debut on Corus starting October, 10. 2011.
