Talk Show Host Rosie O'Donnell hosted her talk show in Studio 8G NBC Studios New York City for 6 yrs. In 2001, after Rosie announced her leaving the show, WB Domestic and Rosie hand picked Sabrina, Teenage Witch Star Caroline Rhea to succeed her when she gave up her seat in 2002. Taping in Studio 8G NBC Studios New York City, using the same set as Rosie O'Donnell Show used for 6 season, the Caroline Rhea Show kicked off it's first season on September 2, 2002.. first live show aired on September 3, 2002, with Caroline as host and musician Carlos Alamor as her band leader. However, the future didn't look good for the Caroline Rhea Show as her show was airing at 12:35AM in New York City and 11PM in Los Angeles, CA, two of her major markets. WLNY Channel 55, an independent operating station in New York City seen the problem of Caroline Rhea, a live talk show reairing late at night in New York City, the home of the Caroline Rhea Show. So starting October 28, 2002.. WLNY of NYC will stop airing "Simon & Simon" at 10AM, the time the CRS tapes, and start airing "The Caroline Rhea Show" LIVE at 10AM... oh do I hear the crowd singing "Sweet Caroline!" Now, the announcer of the Caroline Rhea Show has a reason to officially say "LIVE From New York City, it's the Caroline Rhea Show.. Heeeeeeere's Caroline!"
