Can't wait for Ana Navarro. Here is the feisty, informed conservative voice they've been looking for, and she was right there all the time.

Interesting the GMA pipeline continues. Dan Harris is the latest in a long line to make the trek over to The View.

I used to really like Niecy Nash when she hosted Clean House. She could be kind, empathetic, and crack the whip, whatever the situation demanded. But that was about about ten thousand blowjob jokes ago. I am not looking forward to her appearance.

I'm looking forward to Ana as well.

And dreading MM. As much as I love Biden and his comforting her I think The View is not a platform for  MM as the daughter of a Senator that is seriously ill and her public grieving.

I feel very unkind about saying that - I've been through it at 70 yrs and I think it should be private among family and friends. In addition I'm annoyed there are discussions that are not allowed because MM is there.

I sincerely hope  that MM stays by her father's side and does not return to the show.  

She is not quick enough or prepared adequately to represent Repubs or conservatives or anyone, except  rich people who have not made their own fortune, i.e., inherited $ and jobs due to family influence.

Im praying for John McC's comfort from pain,  AND for Ana to take over on the show. 

Niecy Nash was good on Reno 911 and in small doses. 

Remember that smNiecy was the one who encouraged Sherri Shepherd to latch onto that slime of an ex- who has the baby from the surrogate,  and leaches $ from Sherri regularly;  not that Sherri is blameless.  

Greta's time is over; she's no longer relevant. Since her show is cancelled, I guess she has lots of free time. I smell a book in the works. 

Happy New Year!

My hope....Ana is not really the guest host, they are going to announce she will be replacing MM.  I know, I know, take the needle out of my arm.  sigh

I think they are auditioning even though it maybe a while.  The more she's there, the more likely, hopefully.... 2 thumbs up!!

I don't think she'd be able to legally talk about it especially if contractual agreements are in the works. Plus, a lot of people say they aren't going to sign on to a show and end up doing it in the end. Not saying she will be replacing MM but just a thought.

Also, she's been a co-host multiple times, sometimes back-to-back. It's just interesting and appears to be an "audition" or "trial run" of sorts.

MM was about to lose her shit during the conversation about protesters in Iran. She drank that coffee, or water, or whatever the hell is in that mug with such frustration, LOL. I'm glad Joy let her know that nobody is comparing protesting in America to protesting in Iran. 

Once again, she tried to go after Joy and once again, looked like a fool.

I think MM just took a subtle jab at Ana. Sunny asked her if she didn't like the New York Times and her response was something along the lines of, "oh I hate the New York Times, as any good Republican should."

Color me surprised! Meghan hates a reputable, long-standing, highly influential, and reliable newspaper. Newsflash, Elsa: NYT will be around long after we're all gone. Get over it.

I'm glad Ana didn't take the bait - although I kind of wish she would have.

I watched the first segment up to the commercial break, then turned it off.  I've made a New Year's resolution to try to back away from all the political discussions arguments that are everywhere these days, as I don't think all that negativity is mentally healthy.  And, just reading the latest posts, and seeing that already MM tried to go after Joy, it seems I made the right decision. I may turn the show on from time to time, and will likely still read this forum, but I think it's time to take The View off my daily watching schedule.

Goodness!  MM comes back sour as ever.  They were discussing why Trump never goes after the ladies on "The View"(current ladies), and Joy laughs and says "Because he is Afraid of Us" :) and MM sat there looking as sour as she could.   But,  I loved seeing Ana Navarro, she is always funny, and sharp...I like her a lot.  She would be a good Sub while Sara is on Maternity leave.

It started out good but quickly went downhill. Meghan became more exasperated as the show went on and the topics turned political.

On another note, I hope the kid who filmed a dead body and uploaded it to his YouTube channel loses his fan base. What a sicko - and all for likes.

Love Ana. SHe is smart and very funny. 

MM's accent, whatever it is, drives me up the wall, among other things about her that have been mentioned upthread. 

Loved Joy, as usual and she was on fire. I agree!

I like Sunny a lot, but the way she pronounces some words perplexes me.  She's educated, an atty, and speaks for a living. [/nitpick]

Joy shut MM right down on that shit, though, which was gratifying. Still, I'm considering dropping it, too. I think I mostly weaned myself off of MSNBC over the holidays, but they were showing repackaged stuff, so I suppose that doesn't count.

 

Today, I wanted someone to smack Sunny upside the head. I know she's educated and accomplished, but I'm afraid she comes off as only book smart to me. They were talking about that YouTube tool Logan Paul (he went to Japan's Aokigahara Forest colloquially known as the "suicide forest": explanation of Paul's antics, backlash, apology, and more backlash).

So, Sunny... she's talking about the above, and then says:

"I wasn't sure how I felt about it (i.e. Logan Paul finding and showing a suicide victim's corpse on his YouTube channel) when we talked, because I remember last year, we were talking a lot -- especially Sara, she was very into 13 Reasons Why, right which was that show -- Netflix -- that also talked about suicide and showed a suicide. And we were talking about whether or not it glorified it or not. And my son watched it. I didn't know it, but he watched it. And I was kinda horrified, and then he said, 'No. I wanted to see it. It was important for me and my friends to talk about it'." 

Whoopi interjects, "But that's not what this is. That's not what this is."

Sunny: "Why is it so different?"

General Days: Because it's an actual dead body, you nitwit. Not an actor playing a role. How is that not different? Ugh. I mean, Meghan McCain looked 10x more intelligent and up on the issue than Sunny did. 

Unrelated, but also stupid, what was up with Whoopi introducing the Newsweek/MLK corpse picture story with, "On what we think is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King."

No. We don't think it. April 4, 2018 will actually be the 50th anniversary, you nincompoop.

Clearly, Santa forgot to leave me patience in my stocking. I think I'd be much happier watching the Joy Behar and Sara Haines View.

Sometimes I wonder if she plays dumb on purpose. I'm not sure how she doesn't understand the difference between a fictitious Netflix series focused on suicide and some fool filming an actual dead body in Suicide Forest. Come on Sunny, you're smarter than that!

Meghan sure looked nice. They all looked rested, Whoopi locks herself away in a room, okay them. Pot was a gateway drug for one family member, it was a tough time. I just know roads will get worse with pot being legal, it stinks imnsho.

Ana, enough botox and fillers please, you couldn't raise your brow. These women, even Joy, with hardly any expressions make me cringe. Not something I normally say, but Trump was right in what he tweeted about Iran, and didn't Anna agree? 

The're back!..lol Looks like MM isn't going anywhere.. Yay.

I saw Ana raising her brows during the diet topic, so I'm not sure what you mean. Still, I think they've all (with the exception of Whoopi) had let's call it needlepoint work done, including Meghan, but like Meghan, Ana is on the heavy side, and unlike Meghan, she's a Latina in her mid-40s. Her facial is likely to be less time-worn than the average non-Hispanic white woman thanks to melanin (and the extra weight). One of the Gabor sisters said after a certain age, it's your figure or your face, and I think there's some truth to that. Oh, look at that. Time for my beauty brownie.

A lot of times when I'm watching Sunny, I feel like she's playing dumb, or "girlie" on purpose and it rubs me the wrong way. I have found myself shouting, "BE BETTER," at her, through the TV. A lot of times, people on this board express distaste for how they perceive Whoopi's treatment of Sunny. It's stuff I never catch, and I think that's because I'm too busy rolling my eyes at her, myself.

To be fair to Sunny, the suicide scene in 13 Reasons Why was pretty explicit, and yet (imo) it, itself didn't glorify suicide at all. That said, I did wonder if the larger premise did. I watched it because I have kids that age, and I wanted to be prepared in case they did watch it.

But yeah, a fictional story about suicide versus deciding to look for ghosts in a forest where people kill themselves, because the culture still isn't up to speed on treating people who have depression, then snickering about finding a real dead body and uploading it to your YouTube channel, where you sell your merch are two different things.  Sunny. Damn it.

I like Sunny but I have to agree and I think I've mentioned this in earlier threads. I wonder if she feels like she has to "dumb it down" sometimes while being on the panel? I'm not calling any of the other ladies dumb but I've seen her on other channels and she doesn't put on that coy, "girlie" act. The tough attorney chick comes out.

I am on a news diet.  I want to stay informed without allowing myself to become overwhelmed to the point of sadness and despair that I feel sometimes.   It is horrible for my mental health and ability to create a joyful life.  I look to shift my thoughts to what makes me happy and am doing that more and more.

I will continue to watch The View but I have weaned myself off MSNBC too.  I pick up news items on FB that friends post and a glance is often enough to get the gist.    

Ana is a breath of fresh air.  Love this woman.  MM take note of her independent thinking.  And your fathers rib recipe is on the 10 sites on page one of a google search, btw.

I hate Whoopi's valley girl accent.  How would she like it if one of the other women lapsed into a black dialect all the time.  Ugh, drop it.  

Loved the dieting talk but stay off The Bachelor.  It is a cliche to criticize the obvious.

Same here, on a strict diet of PBS Newshour and Washington Week In Review.  My attitude and spirit has improved greatly.  Will only DVR this show for an interesting guest star.  Only DVRing Friday's show for Neicy, hope she has news about Claws.

I also forgot to mention that just because gay people aren't getting "stoned" and beheaded here in the USA doesn't make it 100% safe for them.

There are places in this country where being Gay or Trans could still get you killed.  Trans women of color don't have a long life expectancy in this country.  The average age is 35 years old. I remember during the inception of Black lives matter, a group of Black, trans, women, mobilized, in order to get their voices heard as well. Since they are often marginalized and forgotten.  They are a minority within a minority.

By having Ana on, a conservative who can speak intelligently, be funny, and brush off criticism easily, it only amplifies the amateur, sour actions of Meghan McCain, who lacks all of Ana's qualities and is on the show only because of her connection to her father.
