Rosie O'Donnell coming to Oprah Winfrey's Chicago studio for OWN show

When Rosie O'Donnell returns to the talk-show universe this fall for Oprah Winfrey's new network, she is going to be doing so in a place more than familiar to juts about everyone -- the talk-show queen's Chicago studio.

Speaking on her own personal blog Monday night, Rosie announced that she is more than excited to be at a place that Oprah has called home for so many years:

"I just wanted to say hi, and I'm coming to Chicago. It's a huge thrill for me, and I'm beyond the beyond."

Oprah is set to end her own talk show in the city own May 25 -- a date that lines up very well with the 25 years in which she has done her show. There is also a pretty large vote of confidence coming from OWN, as 130 episodes of Rosie's talk show have already been ordered -- and this is without the show even airing.
