Rosie O’Donnell is reportedly on her way back to the daytime talk show circuit. O’Donnell has inked a deal to host a new television talk show, industry insiders have revealed.

The former View co-host — whose self-titled gabfest earned 25 Emmys between 1998-2002 — will take the lead on a syndicated talk program set to premiere in the fall of 2011, E! Online reported on Friday.

The new project will apparently be similar in format to O’Donnell’s current Sirius Satellite radio show and may feature and political undertone.

Add comedienne Rosie O’Donnell and veteran Harrison Ford to the growing list of celebrities joining Team Conan; both believe Jay Leno should hit the bricks and let his Tonight Show successor, Conan O’Brien, continue hosting the show.

Rosie O’Donnell has been blasted by a cancer awareness group after declaring: “Exposure to the sun isn’t dangerous” to millions of daytime TV viewers.

The radio show host was sitting in as a co-host on The Rachael Ray Show last month when she revealed that she “lives to tan” and vouched for the safety of sunbathing.

Officials at the Ray Festa Melanoma Foundation have blasted the comedienne, branding her views on the sun and the potentially-deadly skin cancer it can cause “ill-informed” and “irresponsible.” They’ve called on O’Donnell to record a public service announcement to retract the statements.

“Going out into the sun without protection is as, or even more dangerous, than having unprotected sex,” famed cartoonist Marisa Marchetto, who is a longtime supporter of the group, tells The New York Post’s gossip column PageSix.
