What talk-show host berated tom selleck on air over his support of the NRA and unsuccessfully ordered bernadette peters to change a lyric from Annie get what if your gun?

The talk-show host you're thinking of is Rosie O'Donnell.

* In 2003, she famously berated Tom Selleck on her show, "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," for his support of the NRA. She criticized him for being a "gun-toting, NRA-supporting, pro-gun celebrity," and accused him of being out of touch with the public.

* While she didn't directly order Bernadette Peters to change the lyric of "Annie Get Your Gun," she did express strong disapproval of the song's title and the message it sent about guns, prompting a discussion about the song's place in the show.

It's important to note that the story about Rosie O'Donnell demanding Bernadette Peters change the lyric is a slightly exaggerated account. While O'Donnell did criticize the song, there's no evidence that she ever demanded a change.
