Tyne Daly on Rosie O'Donnell (Transcript)

October 2, 2000

Rosie: PLEASE WELCOME FIVE-TIME EMMY AWARD WINNER TYNE DALY. HI, TYNE. WHAT A CUTE LITTLE VESTY BACK PACK THING THAT IS?

Tyne: MY PORTABLE POCKETS. "THE NEW YORK TIMES." THE "L.A. TIMES," A MELON, ANOTHER SET OF SHOES AND THE HANDS ARE FREE FOR THE GRANDCHILDREN. VERY GREAT THING. THIS IS WHAT I SHOULD BE SELLING ON EBAY.

Rosie: HOW ARE THE GRANDCHILDREN?

Tyne: THE GRANDCHILDREN ARE PERFECT.

Rosie: ARE THEY?

Tyne: IN EVERY WAY. THEY SUSTAINED A MOVE RECENTLY. THE PARENTS MOVED FROM ONE PART OF THE CITY TO ANOTHER. A RATHER SHORT MOVE. BUT KIDS HAVE A HARD TIME COMPUTING STUFF LIKE THAT.

Rosie: YEAH, YEAH.

Tyne: THE DAY THEY MOVED, THEY WERE PUTTING STUFF IN THE U-HAUL AND ALL THAT, SO I TOOK HANNAH AND FINN, HANNAH IS 6 AND FINN IS 3, AWAY FROM THE MOVE. SO THAT THE PARENTS COULD GET THEIR STUFF DONE. AND THEN IT WAS SATURDAY SO WE HAD TO GET THE CAR WASHED AND WE HAD TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND I WAS KIND OF DELAYING THEM. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU TRY TO DELAY THEM. THEY WERE SWELL. WHEN WE CAME OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE, I SAID YOU GUYS ARE TERRIFIC HELPERS. I SAID HANNAH, WOULD YOU SHOP WITH ME EVERYDAY? SHE SAID SURE -- IF I'M IN TOWN. THIS IS REALLY A HOLLYWOOD KID.

Rosie: EXACTLY.

Tyne: BUT THEY'RE TERRIFIC.

Rosie: ARE THEY AFRAID OF ANYTHING? MY KIDS NOW 5 AND UNDER, THEY'RE GETTING AFRAID OF THINGS NOW.

Tyne: THEY USED TO BE AFRAID OF HALLOWEEN. SHE REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THAT MASK THING. IT WAS TOO SCARY.

Rosie: AH.

Tyne: SPEAKING OF HALLOWEEN AND CRAFTINESS AND MY PORTABLE POCKETS.

Rosie: WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

Tyne: I WAS GOING TO COME TO NEW YORK AND DO A LOT OF THINGS BUT INSTEAD I SAT UP ALL NIGHT AND MADE STUFF. SO WE HAVE [hats for] PARKER AND CHELSEA --

Rosie: THAT'S FOR BLAKE. THAT IS SO NICE OF YOU.

Tyne: THIS IS WHAT I DID.

Rosie: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Tyne: SO THEY SHOULDN'T BE SCARED. THIS IS FOR MAMA WHO HAS A BIG HEAD.

Rosie: YOU'RE NOT KIDDING. LET ME SEE, THIS WOULD BE LIKE, ONE OF THE FEW THAT FIT ME!

Rosie: THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, MY KIDS ARE --

Tyne: THEY ALSO WOULD MAKE VERY HANDY BOOB COVERS.

Rosie: EXACTLY. MAYBE IF IT'S COLD FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.

Tyne: THAT WOULD MAKE PEOPLE PRETTY AWARE.

Rosie: IT SURE WOULD. NOW MY KIDS ARE NOW INTO AFRAID OF WIZARD OF OZ. THEY WATCH IT EVERY DAY, BUT THEN THEY'RE TERRIFIED AT NIGHT.

Tyne: WELL, ALL GOOD CHILDREN'S STORIES HAVE A LITTLE BIT SCARY IN THEM.

Rosie: YEAH.

Tyne: I REMEMBER BEING TOTALLY TERRIFIED OF THE WHALE IN WHAT YOU CALL IT, PINOCCHIO.

Rosie: YEAH.

Tyne: BUT, THERE SHOULD BE -- I MEAN, I THINK PART OF THE REASON CHILDREN'S STORIES HAVE SCARY IS SO YOU CAN LEARN HOW TO HANDLE SCARY.

Rosie: RIGHT.

Tyne: BUT, YOU KNOW, SMALL DOSES.

Rosie: RIGHT. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO MAXINE NEXT SEASON? YOU KNOW, I LOVED THE SHOW. I LOVED IT SO MUCH.

Tyne: THANK YOU SO MUCH. LAST TIME I WAS HERE ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR.

Rosie: YEAH.

Tyne: AND IT WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW.

Rosie: IT WAS NEW.

Tyne: IF WE WERE GOING TO START TO APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY'S IMAGINATION. BUT NOW WE'RE SWINGING. IT FEELS PRETTY GOOD.

Rosie: IT'S THE NUMBER ONE RATED NEW DRAMA.

Tyne: THAT'S TRUE.

Rosie: THAT'S NICE, ISN'T IT? THAT'S VERY GOOD.

Tyne: BUT WE'RE BEGINNING TO FEEL THAT WE'VE GOT THE HANG OF IT.

Rosie: YES.

Tyne: EXCEPT THAT THEY'VE SUSTAINED A LOT OF HITS. THE REAL WORLD IS ENCROACHING. SO A LITTLE BIT INTO THE SEASON, MAXINE GETS SO CRAZY WITH THE PRESSURE FROM WORK, BECAUSE THERE'S A WHOLE TERRIBLE THING ABOUT A CHILD MOLESTATION CASE FROM A PRESCHOOL, WHICH IS LITTLE KIDS, THAT'S NOT COMING TOGETHER. AND ALL OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE STUFF IN THE FAMILY WITH THE THINGS BLOWING UP AND PEOPLE GETTING THREATENED AND PEOPLE GETTING SHOT IN SUPERMARKETS, AND SO SHE STARTS TO DO A LOT OF VERY BAD BEHAVIOR.

Rosie: MAXINE?

Tyne: YEAH, BAD BEHAVIOR. SO SHE IS SENT TO AN ANGER MANAGEMENT SEMINAR.

Rosie: REALLY.

Tyne: AND THE ANGER MANAGEMENT IS FUN BECAUSE I GOT TO DO A BIG RANT ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Rosie: I'LL BET.

Tyne: SO THAT'S REALLY FUN.

Rosie: I HOPE THEY DON'T PULL BACK HER ANGER TOO MUCH, BECAUSE WHEN YOU TELL OFF THAT MOTHER NEAR HER STATION WAGON.

Tyne: THAT WAS FUN.

Rosie: OH, WAS THAT GOOD.

Tyne: THE ANOREXIC MOTHER WHO WAS STARVING HER CHILD.

Rosie: THAT WAS -- RIGHT THAT WAS NICE.

Tyne: YOU GET TO GET OUT A LOT OF YAYAS IF YOU HAVE THE PROPER SETUP.

Rosie: AND AMY'S HAVING A BABY NOW.

Tyne: AMY IS HAVING A BABY. WHICH IS WHY WE'RE ALL KNITTING. THE SOUND MAN HAS TO SAY STOP ALL THAT KNITTING. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK. I HAVE TO SAY HELLO TO MY CREW WHO IS WORKING. AND RUSS WHOM I SAID HELLO TO LAST YEAR WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE'S SINGLE. OKAY SO HELLO YOU GUYS I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME WORKING.

Rosie: OUR STAFF IS FULL OF SINGLE YOUNG WOMEN.

Tyne: WELL, IT'S, BABY ENVY SETS IN. I THINK BABY ENVY IS LIKE THE EIGHTH DEADLY SIN.

Rosie: IT'S TRUE.

Tyne: PRIDE, ENVY, LUST, GLUTTONY, SLOTH, ANGER AND BABY ENVY.

Rosie: IT'S UP THERE.

Tyne: WHEN YOU HAVE THEM OR HAVEN'T HAD THEM OR HOPE TO HAVE THEM, WE'RE ALL SO JEALOUS OF AMY.

Rosie: AH, IT'S TRUE.

Tyne: BUT SHE'S LIKE -- LIKE GEENA DAVIS, YOU KNOW, SHE'S LIKE THIS ACTRESS TYPE SO SHE GETS PREGNANT, LOOKS LIKE SHE'S GOT A LITTLE WALNUT UNDER HER NAVAL. IT'S NOT LIKE "PREGNANT." I GUESS IT'S NOT GOING TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE SHOW.

Rosie: IT'S NOT?

Tyne: BUT SHE'S GOT ALL THOSE HANDY JUDGE'S ROBES TO BE UNDER.

Rosie: WHICH I'M GOING TO START WEARING THIS SEASON. BECAUSE I FIGURE WHY WORRY ABOUT.

Tyne: THE LITTLE LACE COLLARS ARE CUTE.

Rosie: I TOLD THIS STORY A LONG TIME AGO, ONCE AT ONE OF MY FAT PEAKS I WAS AT BASKIN-ROBBINS AND SOME LADY SAID, ARE YOU ROSIE O'DONNELL? I SAID YEAH. AND SHE SAID, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE PREGNANT. TO WHICH I REPLIED, 6 MONTHS. TO WHICH SHE SAID, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO NAME THE BABY? I SAID BEN OR JERRY.

Tyne: SHE DIDN'T GET IT?

Rosie: I ALWAYS THINK THAT WOMAN'S WANDERING AROUND GOING SHE DIDN'T ADOPT ONE OF THEM KIDS. I SAW HER PREGNANT.

Tyne: I REMEMBER WHEN YOU SHOWED ME PARKER'S PICTURE THE VERY FIRST TIME WHEN WE WERE LOSING EMMYS. BUT WE WERE GAINING PARKER.

Rosie: WE WERE THE LOSING ROW. EVERYONE IN OUR ROW LOST THAT YEAR, REMEMBER, TYNE?

Tyne: TRUE, TRUE. NOW AS OF THIS EMMYS I'VE LOST AS MANY AS I'VE WON. SO I'M BACK TO GROUND ZERO. WE'LL START AGAIN NEXT YEAR, WE'LL SEE.

Rosie: BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT, GREAT SHOW. AND YOUR BROTHER, TIM, HAS GOT A SHOW ON THE SAME NETWORK.

Tyne: HOW ABOUT TIM DALY, HE'S SO WONDERFUL AND THE SHOW IS SO GOOD. I SAW THE PILOT HOME ALONE, BECAUSE HE, OF COURSE, SENT IT TO MY MOTHER FIRST. THEN I FINALLY GOT THE PILOT AND PUT IT ON AND HE GOT ME TWICE. GONE. TEARS FALLING DOWN. SO I HAD TO CALL HIM UP AND SAY YOU LITTLE STINKER, WHERE'D YOU LEARN TO DO ALL THAT? BECAUSE HIS WORK ON "WINGS" WAS WONDERFUL AND LOVELY, BUT THIS "FUGITIVE" IS A REAL CHANCE FOR HIM. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE BIG.

Rosie: IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GREAT.

Tyne: AND HE LOVES ALL THE RUNNING AND JUMPING AND LEAPING. IT'S THE BOY STUFF.

Rosie: NOT ME. I'M NOT REALLY INTO THAT AT ALL.

Tyne: NO. WE DON'T -- WE'RE NOT TRAINED FOR THAT.

Rosie: WE JUST LIKE TO SIT.

Tyne: WHEN I DID A SHOW ON CAGNEY AND LACY WHERE I GOT SHOT, BARNEY ROSENBERG OUR PRODUCER MADE SO MUCH FUN OF ME. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE A HIT. WE PRACTICED THAT. I WAS HAVING TO DO THE PRETEND THING, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T PRACTICE THAT AS CHILDREN.

Rosie: WE DIDN'T PRACTICE THAT EITHER.

Tyne: GETTING KILLED.

Rosie: THERE'S ONE MOVIE WHERE I PLAYED THE COP AND THEY PRETEND TO SHOOT YOU.

Tyne: YOU LIKE SQUIBBS. TV THERE'S NO BUDGET FOR SQUIBBS.

Rosie: YOU JUST HAVE A LITTLE KETCHUP. TAKE A BREAK AND BACK WITH TYNE DALY IN A MINUTE. SO DON'T GO AWAY.

Commercial Break.

Rosie: TYNE DALY, WHO I LOVED ON BROADWAY. HAVE YOU SEEN ANY BROADWAY SINCE YOU'VE BEEN IN ON THIS TRIP?

Tyne: I WAS SUPPOSED TO. I WAS BUSY MAKING HATS. I DID NOT GO TO THE MATINEE YESTERDAY. BUT I WANT TO BECAUSE JONATHAN HINDARI WHO PLAYED WITH ME AND CHARLIE DURNING ARE DOING "THE BEST MAN."

Rosie: AND MY BEST FRIEND CHRISTINE EBERSOLE IS IN THAT.

Tyne: WE SHOULD GO TOGETHER.

Rosie: I ALREADY SAW IT.

Tyne: ARE YOU GOING TO THE ROAST FOR ROB REINER ON FRIDAY?

Rosie: I THINK SO, YES.

Tyne: I'M COMING BACK NEXT WEEK TO DO THAT.

Rosie: FOR THE MEATHEAD? WE'LL GO OUT TO THE THEATER, YOU AND ME.

Tyne: I WOULD LOVE TO.

Rosie: TELL THEM WHO'S ON TOMORROW.

Tyne: REGIS PHILBIN, GEORGE FOREMAN, JOSHUA JACKSON AND JONATHAN KOZOL.

Rosie: THERE YOU GO. THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH.
