Everyone is probably asking if Meghan will be there. If so, no thanks.  

[lusinia]

I'm wondering if the day of hot topics on Wednesday and Friday is in case ABC decides to show live coverage of the impeachment hearings ( so far there's no information about this one way or the other).

eta - I just found this -

I'm always happy to see Jeff Goldblum, weird...weirder, it's all fine with me.  Love Kristen Bell AND Judd Apatow.

I can think of a few reasons why that might be:

Guests don't like to be screamed at simultaneously by the panel.

If the panel is going to ask a guest a question, allow him/her to fully answer before pouncing on & interrupting the guest. We already know the panel's view, how about allowing the guest to give their view?

If a guest is there to promote a book, how about you ask questions specifically about the book.

If the panel wants civility, they should set an example. After all, 2 wrongs don't make a right.

[Haleth]

Ugh.  Another birthday show.

[Bronzedog]

Another birthday show, but, there should be some good music.

That could be it.  That way they don't have to worry about canceling guests and rebooking.

[Medicine Crow]

I've never been a Garry Shandling fan, so ...

[TheView]

I'm sure they'd have more guests if there wasn't the chance they'd be pre-empted most of the week

Thank you. According to my guide though, it just says CNN and that's it.

Seems like a chill week, can't wait for Whoopi birthday.

Their quality of guests has declined a lot over the past few years. Every once in awhile they will get an A lister but not like they used to. They don't even get a lot of stars from the ABC shows. Maybe it's because Barbara is no longer there but View is no longer a part of the routine press tour stars do to promote their projects.

[lusinia]

Did this woman (Meghan) just fool around in class - "post-hummus-ly"?!!!!!!!!!!!

What's funny is, it looks like she actually practiced reading from the teleprompter, and slowed down her normal speaking speed.  She looked so proud of herself.

I do like like those kimono wraps, and I am not normally a fan of View Your Deal...damn. 

[Axie]

Mayor Pete is 22 years younger than Amy Klobucher.  Of course he has less experience.  

 I loved when Meghan said “Just one more thing” and she was totally ignored and they cut to commercial.

Exactly!  Are we sure she graduated from Columbia University in NYC?  Or was it the "Rocco Columbo School For Women", where she was taught typewriter maintenance"?  (shout out to Tom Cruise in "A Few Good Men") 

[PradaKitty]

Did Meghan just pronounce posthumously as post thomasly?!!!! 
 

most overused word of the year? Icon (also iconic)!!!  Lay it to rest, Meghan. 

[Haleth]

It wasn’t a bad show. Everyone seemed cheerful and engaged. 

[DB in CMH]

I think they moved away from guests because who watches for the guests? I can't remember the last time I watched last hot topics.

The View also has more viewers than the late night shows and is up there with Ellen. Guest are just not their focus anymore.

If they can't handle Meghan, I feel very sorry for them.

It's not that they can't handle her. It might be that they don't want to. When Meghan says things like women who have had abortions are murderers some women might not want to sit at a table with her.

The View must have figured out that many turn it off when VYD is at the end of the show.  Now we have to FFwd through the snippets interspersed throughout the show.

The View makeup people should learn to make the face match the neck.  Judd Apatow had an unnatural shade of orange face contrasting his pink neck.   Sunny & Meegun routinely have ears, necks and hands that look like they belong to someone else's face.

Probably because they've let Whoopi and McCain degrade this show. First Whoopi who destroyed the panel one season because she couldn't bear to be sitting next to three women who were smarter than her, and now McCain who's turned this show into Real Housewives of ABC. Not saying everyone took it very seriously in the past, but it's an even bigger joke these days. The only reason it's hanging on is because of Joy, imo.

Btw, I loved the interview today. We don't often get those fun, lighthearted moments with Joy anymore because McCain's constantly looking for any excuse to snipe and scream at her.

Im surprised they havent talked about it at all.  At least give their schedule and how theyre going to work it.  Like theyll run a rerun if theres air time, but nothing new will be on

Sigh. Loved Garys show. So damned funny 😥

It doesn't matter when they have VYD.  Viewers will still FF through it.  I watch it online and have never once watched that segment.

What has always bothered me about the "View Your Deals"  is the insistence that all the items are  "50- 60% OFF!!"  when in reality, the prices are about what you would expect for similar items online or in a store.  The Kimonos, for example.  Cute, for $19.95 - that's about what one would expect, buying the same thing at JCP, or Target, or on Amazon.  But don't tell me that the retail price is over $50, (Over $80 for the velvet ones)  and I'm getting a DEAL.  Because that just isn't the case.  A 4 ounce tube of handcream is $22 and I'm getting a deal by paying $11?  Give me a break!

To be fair, the more agitated Meghan gets, the redder her ears (at least her left one) become.  That blood flow "trumps" any makeup that might be applied.

Depends on the hand cream.

I’ve bought a few items from VYD and found they tend to be on clearance at the retailer’s site.  Supplies and/or choices are limited. But everything I’ve bought is decent quality.

That was really good. They need to do that to her always.

Anyway, I'm glad Joy made sure to tout the fact that Buttigieg is a VETERAN on Veteran's Day. Somehow McCain finds a way to mention veteran this, veteran that on every single show about someone or other, but somehow she always--mysteriously--forgets to mention that fact about Buttigieg. Gee, wonder why?

If you're interested in any of the "deals," it's a good idea to check the 'net for the exact or similar items.  The only great deal I got was on Poo Pourri (some sort of bundle) and I used it for the family "Dirty Santa" gift exchange.  It was NOT appreciated by the person who opened it...but it was stolen a couple of times.

[OnTime]

I thought Meghan's hair, makeup and dress were nice today.  There I said it.

[RealHousewife]

I always watch the hot topics. With the guests, it depends. I hit delete once it gets to the deals.

I hope I’m feeling better by next week, I got tickets for  next Wednesday. This will be my third show. I believe it’s the one with Ronan Farrow co-hosting?

I will say, they do have great deals on the Color Wow hair products. 

That is the only thing I have bought. Yes, I did but it was a long time ago. You can probably find them online close to the same price.

[GoldenGirl90]

Meghan said she won't be there the rest of the week. I wish she chose a different week to not be there and not the week when the show will probably be preempted by the impeachment hearings. Shucks. 

Abby is a broken record - she once again said she doesn't know how much the impeachment hearings will move the needle. She says that same thing every time they talk about this.

[Bronzedog]

Yesterday Whoopie was criticizing Joy for being there when she was sick but Whoopie sure sounds sick today.

Oh no!  Someone having an opinion different from Meghan's is making her life harder!  Good thing you're off for the rest of the week then, Meggie.

Edited November 12, 2019 by Bronzedog

[Haleth]

Well shoot. The first 16 minutes were fine like yesterday, then Meg goes on a rant against some writer Joy was quoting because he makes her life harder. I’m sure that was his intention, Meg. 

[GoldenGirl90]

Hmmmm... sounds like Meghan is taking a jab at Ana. "Conservatives who go on tv and say they'll vote for liberals have Trump Derangement Sysndrome and might as well be liberals!" I'm glad Joy pushed back about the Washington Post reporter.

Meghan was shouting out claims about him and when Joy asked if he actually said what Meghan claimed he said, her excuse was she didn't know he'd be a hot topic. 🙄 Meghan, if you don't know wtf the man said/hasn't said don't talk about it as if you do.

[GladysCravits]

Isn’t Megun supposed to be a ‘pundit”?  Shouldn’t she be informed about all things political, not just on the things that someone’s written for her.  

[MeThinkMeNot]

Certain companies don't want you to drop in a paper resume. They only accept online applications. The world is changing and that was one of the biggest changes. 

Abby and Meghan are millennials, but their experience is vastly different from the rest of us. Their last name helped them. so The ok boomer trend doesn't really affect them. Considering how everyone likes to bash on millenials and gen z, I don't see the problem with people saying "ok boomer."

[Haleth]

Whoopi will never admit that she isn’t the world’s greatest authority on everything.
