Rosie O'Donnell's variety show ties for dead last.

Rosie O'Donnell gave NBC a real turkey.

The network's attempt to revive the primetime variety show failed to draw an audience Wednesday night, tying for the evening's lowest-rated program.

Every time the networks think it's time for the variety show to make a comeback, surprise, they are wrong again. The variety show is dead as disco. Unless the show stars Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers, a variety show has as much chance being successful as I do being the new spokesperson for PETA.
