Rosie O’Donnell said on her blog Wednesday night that her rumored deal to host a talk show on MSNBC has fallen through.

On her blog, she wrote: “MSNBC one hour live following keith olbermann/we were close to a deal almost done/ i let it slip in Miami causing panic on the studio end/well what can u do/ 2day there is no deal/poof/my career as a pundit is over b4 it began/just as well i figure everything happens for a reason/bashert - as we say/and on we go.”

The former host of The View had been talking about a nightly show that would likely have been be a mix of interviews and opinion.

It was said to be a candidate for the 9 p.m. slot currently occupied by Dan Abrams’ show.
