A most-memorable episode, and a hallmark for Rosie O'Donnell, as it was her lifelong dream to meet her childhood idol, Barbra Streisand. The two did not meet until Streisand stepped out on stage in front of the studio audience. Staff had ensured to keep the two of them apart to ensure a genuine response for when the moment came.
This episode differs in only the arrange of the desk and chairs. Streisand's desire, for any guest-talk appearances, is to be photographed from the left side of her profile. For this show, the crew reversed the desk and chairs to suit Streisand's wishes.
