HuffPost
In the resurfaced clip, the comedian made the quips to members of the band TLC — who immediately burst out laughing.
Rosie O’Donnell is known for being funny, but her fortunetelling skills are clearly underappreciated.
In a resurfaced clip that’s currently getting attention on social media, the comedian can be seen telling jokes about Sean “Diddy” Combs going to jail two decades before his sex trafficking and racketeering arrest.
In 2000, O’Donnell was selected to host the Grammy Awards. To promote her gig, she showed a behind-the-scenes special on her now-defunct talk show “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” ahead of the awards ceremony.
In one segment from the special, O’Donnell hung out backstage with members of the R&B girl group TLC, which was nominated for multiple awards that year. The comedian decided to test out a few jokes she’d been working on with the band’s members, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins.
“Wanna hear a joke I have?” O’Donnell asks the trio in the unearthed clip. “Ready? This is good. See if you like it.”
