It's always a party when Rosie O'Donnell drops by the show, and today is a huge one because it's Rachael's 40th birthday! Rosie and some New York City public school children from Rosie's Broadway Kids surprise Rachael with a birthday song and dance before Rosie enlists her friend in a game of 20 questions:

Burning my thumb on a grill in my mom's kitchen.
