Oprah Winfrey's longtime studio won't be empty for long. Rosie O'Donnell will tape her upcoming daytime talk show at Oprah's studio once her long-running show wraps in May, The Chicago Tribune reports.
The yet-untitled daytime show will start on Oprah's OWN network in the fall. Harpo Studios employees in Chicago were told the news Monday via a video from O'Donnell herself.
