At the start of her career, Rosie O’Donnell probably never dreamed she’d have her own TV talk show, but she did. And with Oprah Winfrey’s show ending next year, a new Rosie show is being prepared to follow Oprah foot step as the greatest daytime talk show. Rosie’s success in the entertainment industry is a lesson to everyone with the hope to become a celebrity themselves.
today, there are plenty of opportunities for people in every profession to become celebrities within their fields, and then go further than that. 20 years ago no one would have guessed that today we’d have reality tv shows featuring celebrity chefs and hairstylists, celebrity interior designers and financial advisors. We even have a celebrity dog trainer
Rosie O’Donnell’s career path is an example of that miracle. In the late ’70s and early ’80s, Rosie was a fixture on the comedy club circuit, until Ed McMahon’s daughter acknowledge her talent and got her sign up on Star Search. From there she got a role on Nell Carter’s TV sitcom Gimme a Break! if we look into her background, we cannot indicate she’d have had the career in movies and talk shows that she’s host, and she wouldn’t have guessed that a couple of decades later she’d be set to replace the most successful daytime talk show franchise in history.
Many celebrities like Rosie and celebrity experts like Rachel Ray all started out with media opportunities that are very different from where they are today. they did not woke up one morning and had their own TV shows. Rosie had always destined to hosting her own show, but she had to start on the comedy circuit and sitcoms. The lesson is clear – find your passion, find your expertise, and get out there, and try to take whatever possibilities that seems like a perfect fit.
