TORONTO,
Nov. 5, 2012 /CNW/ - With a new
season of Bomb Girls in the works and fans already
brimming with anticipation, Global proudly announces the
addition of the talented and incomparable Rosie O'Donnell as a special guest star in
Episode 209, currently shooting in Toronto.
For six years, Rosie O'Donnell

winning nationally syndicated talk/variety series "The Rosie
O'Donnell Show." In her first season on the air, she won the
Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host. She

Daytime Emmy's for both Outstanding Talk Show Host and Outstanding
Talk Show. Rosie was also seen on daytime television as moderator
on the tenth season of ABC's "The View," and hosted the satellite
radio show, "Rosie Radio" on SiriusXM. She returned to television
hosting in the fall of 2011 with "The Rosie Show" on OWN: Oprah
Winfrey Network through spring 2012.
"Bomb Girls revolves around an incredible time in our
country's history and the empowerment of women during World War
II. We're so excited to have Rosie
O'Donnell help us tell this story," said Barb Williams, SVP, Content, Shaw Media.
