The source added that O'Donnell insisted the two received one another's contact information.
"Jenny and Tim did exchange numbers and chatted a bit before handlers whisked him away to complete his scheduled radio tour," said the insider. "Jenny went back over to Rosie to thank her for setting her up and said, 'We'll see what happens now Ro!'"
