Mocking Chinese Language

On December 5, 2006, O'Donnell made a comment in reference to the November 29, 2006 appearance on The View by Danny DeVito who had been up and celebrating most of the night. O'Donnell was amazed that the controversy had become such an international media news item, and joked that it was being talked about as far away as China. "You know, you can imagine in China it's like, 'Ching-chong, ching-chong. Danny DeVito. Ching-chong, ching-chong-chong. Drunk. The View. Ching-chong.'"

The remarks sparked a backlash, as many interpreted her comments as a "mockery of the Chinese language." O'Donnell responded via her publicist that she is a comedian in addition to being a talk show co-host and that was part of her sense of humor.
