For some time Rosie O’Donnell was uploading episodes of her old talk show to YouTube. The videos were added every weekday, and were fun to rewatch.

Now they have all been removed.

Now it’s just some short clips and TikTok videos.

Anyone know what happened? Why were countless shows pulled from YouTube?

It looks like they were made private. I still have them in my playlists. I don't see any explanation on X/Twitter. Maybe the channel got some copyright strikes. Sometimes they leave in the original clips from movies and TV shows. The music performances could also be a factor. Hopefully they will be brought back at some point.

Hmm… I had saved several to playlists and they have all disappeared.

There were some troll commenters that were pushing Trump - I wondered if there was a tie to those.

Thank you for the update.

You need to click on the circle with the 3 dots above the Play All button to show unavailable (private or deleted) videos in the playlists.

Maybe they can temporarily turn off the comments section.

The show came back… and all seemed well… but disappeared again earlier this week.

She mentioned something in a TikTok live but it was a vague “we are working on YouTube”. Comment… not sure what’s up this time.

The channel is completely gone this time. It looks like Warner Bros. Entertainment filed some copyright claims on their videos. Maybe the episodes could be put on a streaming service.

Thanks for the update. A shame - although it was too good to be true.

Those episodes were a glimpse into history… maybe one day we will see them again.

I have this entire channel archived, including descriptions, subtitles, other metadata.
