In a culture where the boundary between entertainment and political theater has long since dissolved, Rosie O'Donnell stepped into the late-night host's chair and aimed her opening remarks not at the audience in the room, but at the one she imagined watching from afar. Her guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live became less a television event than a deliberate provocation — an invitation extended across decades of mutual antagonism to a president who has never been shy about accepting such invitations. Some feuds, it seems, outlast every attempt to ignore them.
