Rosie O'Donnell Reveals the Job

Comedian Rosie O'Donnell first publicly disclosed the job after a recent visit to the studio.

O'Donnell said she unexpectedly ran into Mercy during production.

"We text each other often, and I just saw her daughter on Watch What Happens Live," O'Donnell said.

She noted that host Andy Cohen initially introduced Mercy without revealing her famous parentage.

"Her daughter, Mercy, works there," O'Donnell said.

O'Donnell recounted her surprise upon discovering Mercy on set.

"And it's funny, Andy goes 'look!' And I thought he was introducing me to just a staff member," she said.

"And I was like, 'Hi, what's your name?' And she goes, 'Rosie, it's Mercy!'

And I was like, 'Oh my God, what are you doing here?'"

O'Donnell added that Mercy had been quietly employed at the program for an extended period.

"But she's worked there for like a year or so. So I was very happy for her and proud of her," O'Donnell said.

Reflecting on Madonna's parenting, O'Donnell praised how she raised her children.

"I have to say Madonna has done one hell of a job raising those children.
