Rosie's Variety Show will debut as an hourlong live special on NBC on Nov. 26 - the night before Thanksgiving - according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The trade reports that the show could expand to a full series, depending on viewer reactions.

O'Donnell's special will feature celebrity guests, musical acts, comedy skits and a prize giveaway for the show's in-studio and home audiences.

Rosie O'Donnell recently said she won't wed again. She other stars who refuse to tie the knot.

"This will reinvent the idea of what a variety show is for 2008," NBC's Vice President of Alternative Programming Craig Plestis told the Reporter. "There's very few performers willing to put themselves out there live."

O'Donnell hosted her own syndicated daytime talk show for five years until 2001.

She then joined ABC's The View in 2006 but famously quit after an on-air feud with Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
