One last promo for Rosie's variety show...

I swear I am not on NBC's payroll! I'm just really excited about Rosie O'Donnell's variety special, "Rosie Live!" airing tonight. It feels like, from the promos at least, a throwback to her old talk show which had all these great guests who would chat and sing etc. It reminded me of coming home from school and watching "The Mike Douglas Show" or "Dinah!" (for those of you too young to remember, check Wikipedia!)

This special is being touted as being more in the tradition of the prime-time variety shows of the 60s and 70s like Ed Sullivan and "Rowan & Martin's Laugh In" and, of course, "The Carol Burnett Show."

"I'm excited," Rosie tells ET about her new show. "I've been rehearsing for about three weeks. Today we did a whole rehearsal with Liza Minnelli for the opening number, which was beyond words."

Here's the most complete guest list to date: Alec Baldwin, Alanis Morrissette, Jane Krakowski, Ne-Yo, Liza Minnelli, Rachael Ray, Harry Connick Jr., Clay Aiken, Gloria Estefan, and Kathy Griffin.

Rosie's pal Clay expressed his support for Rosie's show.

"I think that really we're in a place in our country now where people need some excitement and some family fun and something to watch together to cheer them up," Clay tells ET.. "And I think there's no better person to do that than Rosie."

Rosie will kick off the hour sounding off about current events, pop culture and whatever is on her mind but told Meredith Viera on "The Today Show" Monday morning that she doesn't plan to be controversial.
