The current buzz about Rosie O’Donnell’s Twitter feed (yes, really) is mostly centered on the fact that President Trump revived one of her old tweets to throw some unabashedly petty shade at James Comey, the FBI Director he abruptly — and with confused reasoning — fired on Tuesday.

Yet before the president decided to do some Thursday afternoon subtweeting, O’Donnell posted a picture of herself backstage at the Broadway production of Paula Vogel’s “Indecent” with some pretty remarkable company: Oprah.

The two television queens posed for a photo after the show with the cast; Oprah was also spotted outside the theater with “Indecent” producer Daryl Roth.

Page Six reports Oprah was seen “dabbing back tears” during the performance. If that’s true — it is, after all, Page Six — we’d say the “Indecent” crew doesn’t need to give another thought to the results of next month’s Tony Awards. They’ve already gotten the greatest endorsement of all.
