Rosie signs off from “The View” – again

While holding her daughter Dakota, an upbeat Rosie O’Donnell thanked the cast and crew at The View on her last day today as a co-host.

She gave a special thanks to Barbara Walters whom she said has always looked out for her, in her life and her career. Rosie called Barbara “an amazing woman” and said they had lunch yesterday.

Rosie thanked Walters for creating the show and letting her host in 2007 again this past year.

She said she hopes to come back to The View and do an occasional crafting segment because she has a “hot glue gun and will travel!”

She reminded everyone to watch her special A Heartfelt Standup which premieres on HBO this Saturday night at 10pm. Also, watch for Rosie on the Dr. Oz show tomorrow, Friday, February 13th, on ABC!
