Oooh, Alan Alda!

[Haleth]

Yay for Alan Alda. He is always a charming guest.

[ChicagoCita]

Was it Van Jones who came on a while back and said the Democrats should be open to Trump? If so, I'd be very interested in hearing what he has to say now.

Yes. And he also gave the twat a tongue bath when she appeared on his show. So unless he does a 180 mea culpa and tells her he’s disappointed in her (he won’t), I ain’t gonna watch.

I wonder if Joy might be absent again this week. It's clear they want to use these last two weeks before vacation to audition people one last time for the panel next season, which requires someone to sit out.

I'd still like to see Yvette Nicole Brown on this show, although that may be unlikely considering where she's located. She was in the news recently for taking a job in New York hosting the Talking Dead event at Comic-Con. She's always seemed eager to have a position on a talk show considering she's appeared as a fill-in on both The Talk and The View a lot over the years? *shrug* My order of preference would be Ana > YNB > Tara. And anyone over Meh-gun.

Not a fan of Van Jones.  Is it too much to ask to have a real progressive guest?

The friendship goes way back (with his wife too) could be since they worked together on Manhattan Murder Mystery in 93. .  He surprised her on her last day when she left the show in 2013. 

Not looking forward to Van Jones either but will tune in to see if he's come to his senses. 

Joys in a different apartment now isn't she?  

Edited July 22, 2018 by athousandclowns

[maggiemae]

I think it is Regis that has an apartment in the same building as Alda.

I'll miss Sara on this but may tune into her show with Strahan.

Not sure is this is a promotion for Paula though - it is not like she is going to be on 20/20, have her own show, or the evening news. Very vague. In addition she is going to do a faith based podcast. The miscarriage affected her badly she said and I think all this is a way to work on her own terms and be with her family more. 

[WarnerCL45]

Van Jones is sort of hit & miss.  I saw him a few times as guest pundint, and found him quite OK.  He can't carry a show, tho.

[maggiemae]

I always liked Van Jones but then I grew to realize he is trying too hard to please everyone. Nice guy but boring.

Like Anderson Cooper that is similar yet has the guts to ask the questions that need to be answered and has a panel that discusses interviews as well.

VJ is just a light and fluffy show that I don't watch.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!  My thoughts on him is he rides the fence & one of these days it's going to turn into a razor blade!!!  LOL.

He got dragged spectacularly by the left for saying that on CNN. He did take it back.  He was really shaken by the experience.  He became even more critical of him. 

I like Van. I like his earnestness and wanting us all, to get along as Americans. What Van seems to not get is that the other side wants the conflict and they benefit from it.. Plus, I remember how the right used to go after him. It was not pretty.

Agreed. I tuned in to watch the premiere of his show because I didn't believe he could carry one on his own and he couldn't. I was bored to pieces, it was a yawn fest. And he pretty much kissed the behinds of all the guests on his show - including Meghan, which made my stomach turn. He never asks the hard-hitting questions.

[GoldenGirl90]

Sara officially announced that she's leaving the show. As I said on another thread, I think the format of GMA is better suited for Sara than The View and I'm happy for her.

"In less than a year, she's become a reason to watch the daytime talk show."

Seriously???

[Stacee]

I can't forget this gem:

Quote

"he became president of the United States in that moment, period."

and would be interested to see if he has changed or amended his opinion in light of everything that has happened since. 

Not holding by breath though; I find Jones to be very wishy-washy and too eager to bend his back to go along and get along.

[Bronzedog]

I'll miss Sara but I can't stand Michael Strahan so I won't be watching her new show.

[Medicine Crow]

Meggie said "we gave Iran money" & Joy said "it was their money" & Meggie said "no it wasn't"!!!  WTF is going on there!  Joy should have stood up to her!!!

I really wish Joy would've pushed back on that.

But I did LOL when Joy pointed out to Meghan that that 88 percent of Republicans who supposedly approve of Trump isn't saying much because only somewhere around 34 percent(?) of Americans consider themselves Republicans.

I'm happy for her and it seems the GMA show is a better fit. I won't be watching but wish her luck.

So people cared about MM's daddy being married 2x? mmm, ok . 

Whoopi seems quiet. 

I remember the last time they discussed the Iran money  Joy pushed back on MM lies. It went no where because MM just kept screeching. Joy is just probably ready for vacation.  Wish they had fact checker on this show to counter all the lies spread by MM . She could run out clear up the facts and run off lol.

Megan threw a dig at Joy Reid who had past statements in a blog come back to haunt her. She has apologized profusely and she has evolved.  The right has been salivating to get her fired.  She is also an outspoken critic of 45.  Her show has been on fire, for months. I found it curious that somebody took their time to dig up her past blogs and put them out there for the world to see..

I'm sure she wants to address what JP said on her show Saturday but I'm glad she didn't. Don't give that crazy lady anymore airtime.

I knew Meghan was gonna bring up Joy Reid during that segment.

Meghan certainly sees herself as a sex kitten.  And, Megs, I'd guess you're closer to a size 16, except expensive clothes companies tend to market their bigger sizes as smaller than they actually are.

Exactly!  After the segment about thin women, "we" got to watch the audience clapping for almost a minute before they went to commercial.  (I HATE that!!!)

She refuses to talk about sex on TV yet says that "some men like more cushin' for the pushin'." Um, that's a pretty sexual phrase, Meghan.

Back when I watched Kathie Lee & Hoda, Sara was the "entertainment" person.  She was always enjoyable.  I stopped watching that part of the show because I couldn't take KL & Hoda's "antics".  Too bad.  I'm sure Sara & Michael will be great!!

I read that the new GMA hour will be taped. Trying find the article. I feel taped shows can be boring.

[Coffeewinewater]

Omfg! STFU MM.  She can't shut up and let joy finish her sentence . Then takes the floor with,  "You're right". Joy was just try explain her pov that thin women do have a privilege. ..she wasn't questioning MM sexyness. Damn can't stand her!

Very boring.  I used to watch my beloved  The Chew and hated it when it was tapped a week or days before.  It wasn't even a hot topics show but I could tell the difference. 

Edited July 23, 2018 by Coffeewinewater

[General Days]

I'm so sad Sara is leaving. I won't be watching her on the third hour of GMA. I'm still annoyed that The Chew was cancelled to bring it about, but I wish her the best. She's adorable, she tries really hard to fully understand an issue rather than just the party line, and she's a bit of an antidote to the other blonde on the panel.

Re: the segment about the college roommates' tweets...

I don't think the ladies understood the problem. The girl described the roommate as being "not too n-wordish" (except she used the actual word). Whoopi said she should just admit she made a mistake and move on. Uh....no! That was racism.

[Vixenstud]

Thank Christ Sara is leaving!  I'm sure she is a lovely woman, but her kumbaya-like demeanor does not fit on The View.

Yes, my mouth fell open. They were all giggly about the subject. The  young woman ,  used a racist slur about her new roommate . Wtf ? How is that just an oops ? She meant to use it.   I would not be happy that my child was rooming with that person. I would demand  something be done. How can the black young lady feel relaxed living with her and have her personal things open to the racist roommate and her friends.

That's right. I forgot. 

(I still think they misunderstood. It's like they weren't made aware of what the offending word really was. Like they  saw the pixelated version only. Joy even joked maybe the girl meant the horse named Trigger. Dumb!) 

[WarnerCL45]

Well, I watched about 25 minutes.  Too loud, can hear any points of view (although I don't want to hear MM).  Just to chopped up - talk for 5 minutes, commercial for 5 minutes.

I don't think the meetings were about him being married 2x.  I think is was more about him supposedly leaving his disabled 1st wife, for his much younger mistress turned second wife (MM mother)

I think Whoopi understood.  She just wasn't surprised by it, so she didn't make a big deal of it.  Been so many incidents lately on social media, people are becoming numb.  She was saying the girl should have just copped to using the word and apologized, instead of making up the stupid auto-correct story.
