CMH1981 January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 What I still don't understand is why there's been no mention of Whoopie's behavior in the media. I expected that there was a blackout because some news would be dropped this afternoon. Being Friday, it made sense. Some nugget about Whoopie's contract, etc. but absolutely no fallout from this week's appearance? Incredible. Had it been Rosie, there would have been a feeding frenzy. The simple answer is racism. To protect her image Whoopi would cry it was racism pure and simple and ignore the fact she was literally high on painkillers. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/6/#findComment-754338
TheGreenKnight January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 Still, it's interesting that the "inside source" that was feeding the tabs all the crap about RO is so quiet this week, which kind of tells me it was generally coming from someone on Whoopi's payroll. I actually saw TMZ mention the weird chairs thing on Whoopi's first day and how they disappeared the 2nd day except for Whoopi's. But no mention of her drug-induced state... 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/6/#findComment-754389

kaygeeret January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 But I think my essential point still stands. RP was known to be out for 4/6 weeks (give or take) and they somehow did not manage to book a single guest co host that was interesting. Ok I found Mario interesting in his role as Whoopi's fill in and we got to see a more real Mario which is a real endearing guy, IMO! But sadly I really have no positive (or negative) memory of anyone who was to replace RP in her absence. Thus my original point....... WTF???????? Where are the interesting people......I find my nieces and nephews really interesting because they are all different and articulate and smart and a pleasure to be around even when their opinions differ.

CousinAmy January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 A friend went to see the Larry David play that Rosie is in tonight - I believe she was out for rehearsals but now that the play has regular hours I don't see why she wouldn't come back. Rosie O would not be making her announcement every day if she was not coming back. Rosie P is, to me, a lot more interesting than any of the young women they have had on. She has had quite a long show biz career and worked with a lot of famous people. Plus, I think her heart's in the right place, and with RO in the driver's seat I think she will be able to express herself more easily than with Whoopi there. The show has been much more pleasant but about 40 minutes in it starts to drag, and I usually erase the rest without watching it. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/6/#findComment-754651

After listening to actor after actor talk about the schedule of doing a Broadway play (eight shows a week, etc) I'm surprised Rosie P wants to continue this show. Then again, she was cast on The View as a last minute (two weeks?) decision - so maybe she's going to try doing both.

Haleth January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 I'm surprised ABC let the Whoopi on drugs episode air. It was that bad and they certainly did Whoopi no favors by airing it, despite the lack of talk in the media. Also suprised that Mario is 55. I would have guessed late 40s. Regarding all the giggling about balls, Brooke Shields was subbing for the ladies of Today during the third hour yesterday and they also did a lot of giggling about balls. But her banter with Willie Geist had me giggling too. She was really, really funny. She would have made the View more watchable. I also cannot see how Rosie P will be able to handle doing both shows.

Fisher King January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 (edited) I've been laughing at "balls" in most instances but it has become a little overblown. I'm imagining the folks at ESPN find it hard to keep straight faces at times. I would love to have seen Brooke Shields set in for Rosie P these last weeks. I imagine she's still doing plugs for her book though. She would have helped solidify the panel a little more IMHO, especially given that Whoopi's absence allowed for (actually begged for) better discussions. A missed opportunity. Maybe there's still hope for this when RP's show begins. ____________________________ Edited January 24, 2015 by Fisher King 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/6/#findComment-755055

CousinAmy January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 My apologies about Larry David's play - a friend saw him at different play last night, obviously in the audience. My bad. Actors in daytime soap operas - especially the ones based out of New York City - have often moonlighted in Broadway or off-Broadway shows while carrying their full daytime schedules. Kathy Brier played the lead in Hairspray every night while continuing on One Life to Live as Marcie. The demands of a daytime drama role far outweigh the difficulty of sitting down and chatting for an hour on The View. I think it was the rehearsal time, not the energy required, that kept her away from the show. Anyway, we shall see pretty soon; I think Whoopi's more at risk (of dropping out, perhaps?) than Rosie P. The excuse could be that her back prevents her from sitting in any chair for a full hour. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20758-the-view-week-of-011915/page/6/#findComment-755742

FairyDusted February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 HOLY HELL! All those years of watching/waiting for the wheels to come off on The Spew they finally did, but on The Whoopi Goldberg Hour. That whole show was a disaster but not because of a fight between the co-hosts or Babs fumbling or Bitsy screaming and crying but all on Whoopi who talked NON-STOP for the entire show. After her statement of people "not knowing what they were watching while she was gone" I am convinced she is convinced this is her show, she is the star, and the other two or three co-hosts are her sidekicks. Hey Whoopi, if people didn't recognize The View while you were gone it's because it was actually an ensemble show and we got to hear other people finish a thought. She acted like she had to come back and save the show while I suspect her big fat ego demanded it. Loved RO's comment that Joni Ernst proves "anyone can be a US Senator". She should have added, "If they are backed by the billionaire Koch brothers, that is" since it was their money (and few other select billionaire's cash) that got her from a short stint in the state legislature to the US Senate. And I'm sure Ernst is just thrilled that Whoopi thinks she grew up during The Depression since she is ONLY 44 years old! I always roll my eyes when a member of the 1% rails against taxes but Whoopi's rant on bridge tolls and gas tax was bizarre - even for her. She thinks that the gas tax goes to the oil company? Where does she think the money to fix/maintain/and build roads/bridges comes from? Good grief. Even after reading about it here, I couldn't believe the dinosaur thing. That was beyond, beyond. I think even Nicolle was rendered speechless and I loved RO's side to the camera. Hahaha! I totally love this theory!! I remember that commercial too. She totally stole it. Ready. Set. Lick. Whoopi introduced Stacy London as "one of the most amazing women I know." Hahaha. I think Whoopi's 'style' is probably the stuff of London's nightmares and the only amazing thing was Whoopi in her ridiculous outfit wasn't part of the segment. Of course I think Whoopi dresses like a high end bag lady most days, but add the low office throne/chair and knit cap to the mix and she looked like some ancient old troll at the table. Wait....The All knowing Whoopi is 44?! I'm older than her crotckety ass! She puts it out there like she is in her 60's!
