TheGreenKnight October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 I didn't know Paula ever guested on this show before being cast? Of course Whoopi is pissed Padma is a "contributor" after the way she and Nicolle mean-girled her when she guested. Like anyone believes Whoopi is nice to the general staff behind-the-scenes. I hope Paula, Padma, and the producers all tell her to **** off. I'm going to eat up every moment when her contract is finally up. The Padma nonsense was part of the reason I cheered when Nicolle was fired. Hopefully they upgrade her to regular co-host when Whoopi isn't there to drive her away like when they brought on Rosie O'Donnell. I find it hard to believe Joy would care about Michelle telling jokes since she worked with Sherri for years. Regardless, I'm glad to hear she has another solo talkshow coming--even if it's on the dreaded TLC. PLEASE NO SHERRI! If they're keeping Raven and Candace--she has nothing to offer as a black person, mother, or Christian. Stay away. 4 Link to comment

merriebreeze October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 Just saw an ad promoting The View on This Week with Martha Raddatz (who did a great job exposing Bobby Jindal). The ad highlighted the political discussions and except for the brief spot of Whoopi with The Donald via phone of course, I thought it was pretty good. Makes me think that they're getting some positive feedback from the political discussions, particularly Joy's segment. 4 Link to comment
merriebreeze October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 (edited) P.S. Joy hashtagged #PoliticalView in her latest tweet. Maybe it will get some traction. . Edited October 11, 2015 by merriebreeze 2 Link to comment
Cosmocrush October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 (edited) "I think I'll tune into The View to see what's going on in U.S. politics" said no one ever. Ditto with, "I think I'll tune into The View and see how candidate_______ feels about ______" But if they are going to continue to try and talk about politics on this show then I'd say Joy with just two political commentators worked far better than one politician being bombarded with co-hosts dying to read their question off their cards without listening to a word being said.

Maybe Bobby will go on The View but I doubt he would put himself out there. I live in Louisiana and he has been about the worst governor ever, leaving mostly everything in disarray all the while saying how great it and he are. Joy vs. Bobby would be a lovely experience. 6 Link to comment
imjagain October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 A moderator needs to be willing to listen to other people talk. Whoopi isn't. Her ego is too big to allow that. Meredith was awesome as a moderator. But she was journalist. She was used to interviewing people. Rosie O was good also. Because she had previously been a talk show host. They both understood you bring up a topic and throw it to others to discuss. You don't sit there and pontificate about the topic and then look to the others to agree with you. Last week I was waiting to see the Dr and they had Meredith's show on she had a panel of Co hosts I had never heard of them except Lance Bass. It was pretty good. They had a pleasant conversation they joked laughed, it was nice to see adults talking. I have only been watching the View on Fridays. I prefer a Whoopi free view. Raven is an odd duck to say the least. Her apology for the name thing seems forced I'm sure producers asked to do it. Twitter was dragging her. She really didn't seem to understand what she was saying on the show. I only watched the clip on line but they all seemed a little taken aback by what she was saying. 3 Link to comment

Of course they were. Raven seems to not be able to see/read a room. That is why I said what I did. I thought she seemed oblivious to what she was saying and how it would be seen. Watching WG on Fallon, I remember/see now why many of us liked Whoopi. WG was great in a Hollywood way, just fun. She imo made a huge mistake being on the view. WG being on the view showed all her flaws. I guess money wise it was smart for her. Edited October 13, 2015 by imjagain 7 Link to comment
maggiemae October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Frankly I think Whoopi is kind of a has been; sure, she acts some - but not top billings. And even $5M per season on this show has not helped. She is not raising tons of money for charity either these days. Plus I am sick of hearing how just about everyone of importance (or at the moment) is her friend, that she barely knows and doesn't hang with personally, or with a very few friends. Or her calling people by their given names (Ben Carson for example) or babe. Plus her moderating skills are zero. Hopefully ABC has told her about an early dismissal and promised her lots of exposure and promoting her own things (book, reality show for daughter on some off the wall place) and a graceful way to exit. LOL, even the co-hosts were underwhelmed by her piece on comic-con or what ever that thing was today. I actually used to enjoy her segments kicking around NYC. 7 Link to comment

According to the New York Daily News, Babs is thinking of returning to the show! Here's the first paragraph from the article: "Barbara Walters has been turning to her high-powered friends for advice on whether she should step in to a full time role and save “The View,” Confidenti@l has learned from a well-placed industry insider." Do you think Babs has truthful (rationale) good friends that will tell her to stay away and give it a rest? 1 Link to comment

Cosmocrush October 18, 2015 Share October 18, 2015 ^^^Is it even her decision to make at this point? I don't think so. She and Sweaty Geddie sold their share of the show a few years ago. But as the tabloid reported, I can see TPTB asking her to come do a one-off during sweeps or something. “She created it, and to see the show turn into this hodge podge of topics which constantly gets press upsets her,” says our first source. “She doesn’t want to see it canceled, and thinks she’s the only one who can save it.” http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/barbara-walters-closer-view-article-1.2400868 Hahahahaha! I guess she never watched this mess when she was on it. The Spew has been circling the drain for years, long before she left. Then The Year of Barbara by Barbara Walters should have killed this show dead but it continues to limp on like some post-apocalyptic cockroach. And as far as all the notes Babs is taking I can't imagine who she thinks would read them? I wonder if she remembers working with Whoopi Goldberg for six years? The moderator that slept through most of the show and always gives the impression she just rolled out of bed moments before squinting at the teleprompter. The idea of Whoopi reading any notes from anyone is laughable. 11 Link to comment

Post apocalyptic cockroach FTW! :) I remember reading somewhere last season, I wish I could remember where (maybe one of the Variety articles?), about Babs and her notes. They would politely accept them of course and then do a lot of eyerolling as they mostly just ignored her. Often these "notes" would come in the form of Babs calling the control room to speak to the EP or the director during the live broadcast. I can only imagine it wouldn't take long for the new guard to stop finding that kind of behavior cute. I also seem to recall that she didn't sell all of it. She retained a tiny percentage of show ownership as creator but sold her controlling interests back to ABC some time ago. However, I could easily be mistaken about that. I find it entirely believable, given the mammoth size of her ego, that Babs would think that only she can swoop in and save the show from its death throes. Whether or not she actually said it is anybody's guess but it certainly sounds entirely consistent with her nature. Edited October 19, 2015 by TribbleTrouble 6 Link to comment

Let's see: Trump, Hasselbeck, Whoopi, Walters, Geddie, Brookman, Selleck, Ripa, Kelli, Michelle, Chelsea, her former magazine, her former talk show, The View. etc., etc., etc. Needless to say, I absolutely believe the DM article b/c it's once again about Rosie The Bully. Had this been an article about Whoopi Goldberg, people would be tripping all over themselves to vilify her. But when it comes to St. Rosie, it's always the other person's/organization's/entity's fault. Sorry, but her illnesses don't cleanse her of her bitchiness. Obviously. YMMV.

TheGreenKnight October 22, 2015 Share October 22, 2015 (edited) Well, let's see... There are some things in the article I believe, and there are many I don't. Do I believe Rosie O'Donnell insinuated this woman was leaking info. during a meeting, had a screaming match in a hallway, and that she appealed to ABC executives to get her fired? Yes. Do I believe that she had the woman isolated to a chair and screamed in her face, and that she had to be physically restrained from attacking her? No. Do I think she wasn't fond of anyone she deemed on "Team Whoopi," required that Bill Geddie was fired before she agreed to join the show, that she was pissed that Whoopi had a solo interview with Beverly Johnson, and was angry about Whoopi's stances on the Cosby scandal and Ferguson (like most people)? Yes. Do I think the people behind the scenes lived in fear of her and nicknamed her "the Beast"? No. Do I think she was "afraid" of Whoopi or agreed to come on the show as a regular co-host while wanting Whoopi's job? No. Besides, the article lied about the ratings being down, because they went up during the premiere week. I don't believe the woman's e-mail was innocent if she was terminated for it, since Rosie O'Donnell was no longer even working for ABC to give them reason to fire her unfairly.

maggiemae October 22, 2015 Share October 22, 2015 Could not agree more. I'll throw in how Rosie was blindsided by Getty and Elisabeth as well - split screen had never been done before on the show or since. I also see how this producer is still out of work.... People erupt all the time both personally and professional. Not cool, but reality. Even many that don't have seen those that do in real life. Just as Whoopi did when she went on her own back stage recently. Twice now, both times Rosie has been on, she has been blindsided and shut down. Whoopi was vile to her. 11 Link to comment
MatchaLove October 22, 2015 Share October 22, 2015 The article is clearly generated by the producer and/or her lawyer. All photographs were clearly provided by them to show producer in a completely positive light…happy with her children, close to everyone at The View, assorted superstar actors/directors etc. Not completely defending Rosie, but this article is a legal maneuver. 10 Link to comment
Jaded October 22, 2015 Share October 22, 2015 I thought the pic in the DM article that included Diane Sawyer's deceased husband was in poor taste. If that producer was one of the few left from the original View crew maybe the network was waiting until they had a valid reason for firing her because they knew she'd file a lawsuit. I don't doubt that Rosie could have been difficult this time around too but with the way things would go when the show was on air I can only imagine what it was like behind the scenes. Rosie O was long gone when the incident happened where Rosie P had to apologize to Kelly Osborne and we've had articles since both Rosies vacated that have indicated drama is still going on. 3 Link to comment

I can't imagine why some other show didn't just snap her right up when she left this show. After 14 years on the same job she couldn't get one ABC recommendation or someone in all those smiling pics to make a call on her behalf? That says more to me than anything. 8 Link to comment

I would be too shocked and scared, and when my rational thought returned I would be concerned about pissing off the boss who I was recording. Plus I don't carry my phone everywhere.

Those people are never without their phones and shady co-workers recording tantrums, or exploding tempers, happens a lot. Remember years ago when director David O.

Cosmocrush October 23, 2015 Share October 23, 2015 Finally, the mainstream media is echoing things I we've been posting about for years. This was in The Washington :Post this morning. What Happened to Whoopi Goldberg? Some excerpts: If there’s anything that’s emblematic of Goldberg’s tattered credibility, it’s the reaction to her recent statements on Viola Davis’s Emmy acceptance speech — in particular a line in which Davis said, “the only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity.”... ...It would appear that Goldberg has torched her reputation to the point that when she says something that could be construed as controversial, it simply gets rounded up to Yet Another Crazy Thing that sprung from the mouth of Whoopi Goldberg. Indeed, that characterized the resulting media fracas surrounding the Davis statement. 7 Link to comment
