To promote his film "The Love Letter", Selleck was invited to be on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" on May 19, 1999. During the appearance, O'Donnell interrogated Selleck about his support of gun ownership and an ad in which he appeared supporting the NRA. At the end of the interview, Selleck stated, "It's your show, and you can talk about it after I leave." Selleck later confided to Shaun Robinson that he forgives O'Donnell, stating "I still like Rosie. I think she needs to take a deep breath and stop thinking everybody who disagrees with her is evil."
