[Haleth]

2 days of hot topics?  There are no Christmas movies or shows to plug?  I guess everyone is still out of town on holiday... or busy with better shows. 

[ChicagoCita]

I'm looking forward to Sen. Schumer with Joy as moderator.

[TheGreenKnight]

Looking forward to all the guests this week.

Yes, all 3 of them.

[lexytheblasian]

I hope they don’t do that thing where they interrupt the hot topics every few minutes to plug the “View Your Deal” items.

[Tosia]

It's  Cyber-Monday ...so I think you can get your FF finger ready.

I believe we  all may get temporary arthritis in said finger for the next few weeks.

Sponsors pay for the show so there's no way around it. 

Plus Whoops had to get her family gifts somehow.  As she frequently reminds us,  damn taxes take too much if her hard-earned money.  ;)

[NeverLate]

Hmmm , Kelly Clarkson and Dianna Ross..good!:)

MM admitted 45's personality problems.I forgot the word she used, but that is some progress.

[Meatball]

She acknowledged he is narcissistic. 

[fishsanwitt]

I'm in Canada and it looks as though today (Nov. 27) is a repeat of Meghan's birthday. Anyone else?

She sure did! She looked happy today. They all got along, but then Whoopi said something to Joy..Franken maybe? He's always given me the creeps, and he's never been funny...4 women came forward, Whoopi explains how you accidentally grope someone's butt! Please! 

Joy was on pain meds I think, after her epidural over Thanksgiving. Mostly it was ho hum, with Whoopi wearing one of her own awful looking sweaters...ugh! 

[geekburger]

Todays show was a mess...all over the place, not focused, and worst of all kinda boring!

Thanksgiving? Still in holiday overeating mode...lol.

[fishsanwitt]

I found today's episode! On another channel, at a later time.

Meghan looked happy! I enjoyed the conversations, my only caveat being they talked over each other even more than usual! Sunny - stop butting in! I did laugh though when Whoopi bellowed - 'they don't call you!' regarding the TIME cover - LOL!

Meghan seemed very subdued for whatever reason. Whoopi did most of the talking just like Wednesday--always a sign of a boring show.

[merriebreeze]

I knew that sounded wrong when Whoopi yelled it

Quote

Time did, contrary to Goldberg’s claim, commission a photo shoot in 2016— when they named Trump Person of the Year. They also interviewed him for the issue. Further, no one has ever been named Person of the Year posthumously — although Steve Jobs was under consideration after his death in 2011.

Whoopi is famous for spewing misinformation while acting like she knows everything. It’s quite ironic when she accuses Trump of doing exactly what she’s doing.

[GHScorpiosRule]

There's a difference. Whoopi is misinformed, but doesn't try to mislead people. The other? just the opposite.

[geekburger]

I think it’s just because chemistry-or lack thereof-of the current panel. Jedi had more “connections” to the panel than MM seems to ever want to have. This is strictly a job to her which is throwing everything off. 

 

They were like the opposites...MM only seems to get along with Whoopi while Jedi got along with everyone BUT Whoopi.

Definitely a superficial vibe. Like I doubt they'd all be caught dead in the same room had MM not taken this job -- with the exception of maybe Whoopi, meaning Whoopi and MM obviously knew each other long before the show.

And -- usually, not always -- Whoopi will give the correct fact later on in the week.

Did Meghan go on a honeymoon?  Considering the theme of the wedding, I expected a trip where they slaughtered animals somewhere.

Like when she was talking about Senator Ray Moore?  Lol

[tribeca]

Megan’s wedding looked beautiful.  

I enjoyed their tame conversation today.   Found it interesting how everyone listened to each other points. 

Maybe I am just easy to please today I even liked Whoops sweater

So you’re basically saying that Whoopi is just stupid. Okay.

Don’t count on it. I’d be shocked if they call her out on her mistakes. Especially when she was so adamant about it. It would be too embarrassing for her. So no way.

Whoopi is nothing more than a subpar moderator on a daytime "Women's" talk show!  When she misspeaks (and she does), I would hardly call it "International incident!"  

[maggiemae]

I don't think Whoopi is stupid. Perhaps not fully informed - but who is? The show is called "The View" for a reason. And true......someone's view on the show does not affect my life either.

Nothing these women say affects my life. That goes for MM, who I don't mind actually, especially today! :)

No, that’s not what I’m saying. If I think Whoopi is stupid (which I don’t), then I would say that. Being misinformed or mistaken is not the same as being ignorant.

Again I find myself confused. I found myself agreeing with Whoopi, and didn’t see her as being overly obnoxious as she tends to get. She tripped over Moore’s name and called him Senator? Big Whup. She corrected herself or was corrected and thanked “Rick” for correcting her.

Meghan just doesn’t have that...glow of one who is happy that she’s married. The vibe was one of a ticking off a check list. 

What Franken did was wrong; but what Moore has done is much, much worse. There is no comparison between the two. I’ll have to post the rest of my thoughts later as I’m at the dentist now.

Absolutely! Sara has said this a few tines, there are, as she said ,degrees of wrong. Wrong is still wrong, and Franken doesn't get a pass from me .None of the accused do.

But a lot of the same people who are saying Franken should resign are saying Moore shouldn't step out of the race.  Unfortunately sexual misconduct has become a partisan problem. I am a die hard liberal but I think Nancy Pelosi was wrong for seemingly disregarding what Conyers is accused of because of "his record".  Do I think he should resign?  I don't know.  But at the very least  he should be sanctioned.  He paid someone to make a "problem" go away.  With taxpayer money.    Meghan was exactly right when she said people want to believe the people they like.

Yes, Meghan was correct. It's very difficult when you like the person. I felt that way when Dustin Hoffman was accused, very dissapointing. Moore should step out of the race IMO.For the people who like Franken, it's up to them what they think should happen, same for Conyers. I'm not cherry picking. 

[lexytheblasian]

Okay, MM is back to the BS. She said a lot of Republicans call Sen. Warren "Pocahontas."

1) WHO STARTED IT, MEGHAN?! Trump.

2) Who CARES which other Republicans call her that?! Stick to the point. It was an inappropriate "joke" by the President of the US -- in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson, no less.

She loves to say "we're talking about blah blah blah right now" yet when it's convenient to her, she'll pivot.

Shut up Meghan!

Whoopi apologizes to Elsa for interrupting her but rarely apologizes to anybody else she interrupts, which is most of the time.

Whoopi also fact-checked MM after the Pocahontas segment and she didn't even have the decency to apologize.

I noticed Elsa huffing while Sunny was trying to make her point, too. She is insufferable. I knew the little fairy-tale yesterday wouldn't last long.

"Does it make you feel better at night Joy?"

Meghan McCain is a BITCH. There. I said it. I don't care.

Edited November 28, 2017 by lexytheblasian

LOL, I love Meghan saying Trump won, just because Hillary won the popular vote Joy, move on Joy. Love it! LOL I agree with Joy/Meghan all the presidents have something wrong. Meg was also right about racism in Britain, Sunny loves to keep bringing race into everything...prissy Missy! Listen and learn about other countries Sunny! 

I don't think Meghan is a bitch, not at all..today's HT was spirited, not insipid.

I couldn't disagree more lol but hey, that's just me. Meghan is a grown woman and should be able to convey her message without huffing and puffing and having an attitude with Joy. Also, why didn't MM apologize for her comments towards Sen. Warren after Whoopi fact-checked her? Incredibly immature.

I've seen them *all* huff and puff, so as above, it doesn't change my opinions or way of life..its a fluffy talk show for me..better with Meghan on it, for me..

[Haleth]

Wow, Meghan was an insufferable bitch with her, "Oh, so you know how it feels?" and "Does it make you feel better?" remarks aimed at Joy.  Insulting a fellow panel member isn't how you have a civil discussion.  Dial it back, Elsa.

Not giving Franken a pass by any means, but what woman hasn't had her butt touched inappropriately?

[NeverLate]

I do love Kelly Clarkson, not enough time with her. I don't care about the pregnant mums free stuff, but Sara looks great!

Me. I've had work and family photos taken, nobody groped or touched my butt! 

[Bronzedog]

So, Sara's baby shower meant she got to do a ten minute commercial?  Between her birthday and her shower, I wonder who she pissed off.  I laughed when Kelly Clarkson said, "I'm sorry" to Sara when they were talking about Sara being pregnant.

[TheGreenKnight]

I wish Joy had pointed out that Meghan doesn’t “know how it feels” either. She didn’t run for president. Just another case of her claiming her father’s fame and life experiences as her own.

I agree with Sunny that the vast popular vote loss is comforting because it means the majority of this country refused to accept the racism, misogyny, etc. that Trump embodies. But I can understand how that would stump an upper class white woman like Meghan.

Meghan pointed out that she was there, right there when her father lost. She has a little more insight into election nights, than black veils and drowning ones sorrows. At least that's what I got from it...
