They’ve let Whoopi get away with poor moderating for years. Doesn’t listen, doesn’t engage and doesn’t even truly moderate. What do they expect?

They should have reined her in years ago.  Guess the new president of ABC News is less willing to let her get away with things.

This is SO RICH. Where was all this mainstream media condemnation for Miss Twatty during her reign on this show? The Brass wouldn't outright make the statement that she was suspended the two times she was gone for days on end. The narcissistic asshole never ever apologized, but double and trebled down. And NO ONE pushed back or was allowed to push back.

I'd say what the show's culture devolved into when she was hired wasn't what Bawa wanted.

Yeah it really doesn't look good that Whoopi is held to a higher standard than the other one.  That could be interpreted in a lot different ways.   None of them good.

I don't believe Meghan thought it was funny. I'll bet money she was livid.

It used to be all about the ratings which is still true but now they have added in clicks and likes and all that shit with social media.  Just because something or someone is trending doesn't mean goo

I'm in your corner, BlondieC0332...and Joy's.  I wouldn't use the words hateful or snotty.  She puts up with the coordinated direct hits of Princess McCain (and puts up and puts up)...until a point.

Yeah, as someone who actually those four years and is grateful they're done, I remember no apology or reprimand on this show, much less multiple... Whoopi telling her to stop talking is probably the closest you'd come, but then, Whoopi is just the moderator and a fellow co-host, and moreover Whoopi was made to apologize the next day rather than McCain for screaming over top of everyone.

It was always that way when she was there--the others being forced to play-act some PR cleanup for her sake. McCain had family friends at the top, no surprise she was fired six months after they were out.

Had she?

MM got what we interpreted as possible 1 or 2 day suspensions after blowups a few times, but as I remember it, either it was "Meghan is off today" or nothing was said at the next show.  For all we knew, MM could have called in "sick" after making a fool of herself.

Lisa Ling Says Joy Behar Told Her She Was 'Talking Too Much' on The View 

https://people.com/tv/lisa-ling-says-joy-behar-told-her-she-was-talking-too-much-the-view/

This article contains a reference to Lisa Ling's new HBO Max series called Take Out with Lisa Ling where she'll discuss political issues.  You can count me as a bit surprised that in these days of political and social correctness, Lisa Ling would title her series with a name rather stereotypical of her Asian heritage.  "Take Out"?  Hmmmm. LL is usually in the forefront of seeing that ethnic references don't find a place to live.  This is an unusual choice for her.

Her show is actually about the stories behind Asian-American owned restaurants. I watched the first few and highly recommend it!

Thank you for the correction.  An article I read about it had stated she'd be talking about political issues.  Makes sense now that I've learned differently.

Whoopis power?

the view always gets ratings highs and lows during controversy but it almost always evens out. Whoopi couldn't save the show without Babs and Joy and even if Whoopi was fired these people protesting would have come back after a few weeks at least most of them.

The View has always had higher ratings during presidential election years, so some drop from last season was inevitable. That easily describes a fall from 2.918 to 2.478 million. Even the article notes that the year prior to the election, they'd been averaging 2.5 million and that's the area they were in before Whoopi's controversy.

As for the 2.1 during the week after Whoopi's screw-up, I'm sure the show will stabilize again in a month or two. Something similar happened last season because of McCain's anti-Asian remarks. The situations were different though, so I wouldn't expect Whoopi to end up fired or anything. For one thing, McCain was in trouble constantly, it wasn't a one-off event like here with Whoopi, more like the straw that broke the camel's back. For another, McCain was only endured partly because of the flawed logic that her nonstop hateful comments and Jerry Springer-esque antics contributed to ratings, so when one of her many controversies caused ratings loss instead, it disproved the show's flimsy justification for keeping her around.

Garcelle Beauvais Says Whoopi Goldberg Was ‘Cringeworthy’ During Her ‘View’ Audition

Quote

“I was shocked and appalled to see how testy Whoopi was with the show’s producers,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 55, writes. “I was embarrassed and disappointed, to say the least. It was cringeworthy!”

Beauvais was asked to try out for a co-host position in the wake of Rosie O’Donnell’s exit from the ABC series. The model-turned-actress jumped at the chance to potentially fulfill her dream of becoming a talk show personality.

“Here I was the eager new kid in class and I ran smack dab into the reality of an uninviting workplace,” she recalls in her book, describing her interactions with Goldberg, Rosie Perez and Nicole Wallace.

“There was a brief nonchalant recognition that I was the co-host up to bat that week. No greetings or welcoming niceties, just a hey and they continued on with the [top-of-the-morning] meeting [with producers]. Okay.”

Beauvais thought she did “pretty well” on camera but couldn’t be sure as “nobody” talked to her afterward or provided any feedback.

“The energy was cold, unfriendly and standoffish,” she remembers. “The atmosphere was so opposite to my friendly nature and definitely not what I had expected or hoped for.”

Beauvais felt as through Goldberg, now 66, Perez, 57, and Wallace, 50, “contradicted” most of what she said on the show, so she switched up her strategy. Instead of giving her opinions too quickly, Beauvais “would just settle for piggybacking on whatever that said” — but, as she notes, “that didn’t work either.”

In the middle of making a point, Beauvais claims that Perez kicked her leg underneath the table: “It was s shut-the-f—k-up-bitch, you’re-talking-too-much signal kick!”

Later, off camera, Beauvais says Perez, “in her Brooklyn pitch,” told her, “’Girl, you know, I just wanted you to know that you needed to be quiet. I thought you were gonna go on too long. You know, we have a system here and we know when the other one is about to talk. So I just wanted to stop you from talking too much.’”

Beauvais then thought to herself, “What kind of system is that where grown women kick each other like f—king mules? Was this a new type of morse code or something? GTFOOH!”

The Bravolebrity — who went on to co-host “The Real” for some time — ultimately decided that the job was “not for [her],” she writes.

Garcelle is a class above many of the women who've been on The View throughout the years. I love her on The Real and am heartbroken it was canceled. I know her main gig is acting and she's also a mom and on reality TV, but she is an amazing host.

not surprising at all. Whoopi was a power hungry maniac that season after Barbara and before joy came back. I dont like Jenny McCarthy but I think her critiques of the view are probably reasonable...

If true, Perez was probably trying to protect her because Whoopi was an asshole to everyone but Nicolle that season (Nicolle was only spared thanks to kissing Whoopi's ass like nobody's ever kissed it before).

That aside, I don't buy that an attention-seeking Real Housewife passed on any job that would provide them attention; it's the same reason I rarely trust anything said by someone from reality TV either. She was never a serious option, I imagine--you can't pass on something that was never offered you in the first place.

I admit, I'm a Garcelle fan . . .

I'm not sure Garcelle is an attention seeker. I think she's someone who's just trying to work but has her limits with what she's willing to put up with. She's actually quite different from a lot of the other women in her Housewife cast. She's actually nice. lol If people like Elisabeth Hasselbeck were on The View, I don't see how Garcelle couldn't have been a serious option.

Jenny McCarthy said that Whoopie was a controlling bully.  She said that she felt that Whoopie was trying to control her thoughts and she also said that she was scared of going against her.  Howard Stern was on the view and he was trying to  be messy and he brought up what Jenny and others had to say about Whoopie and she had nothing to say..lol

Garcelle was an established actress and model before she joined RHO, that is definitely not her claim to fame and if you watch her on the Real she is hardly a drama starter or attention seeker. they hired Jenny McCarthy, Rosie Perez and Raven Symone...why would Garcelle not have been a serious option?

Well, I knew those first three names you listed before The View hired them, wouldn't know her by name, so... I don't buy she'd turn down a million-dollar job on The View because she might've had to deal with Whoopi being mean to her if she's willing to attach herself to the much more toxic and lower class Real Housewives franchise where there's nothing but fighting nonstop all the time.

I've never had a problem when the show has went on location before.  Disney.  Las Vegas.  Hollywood.  But this time is just rubbed me the wrong way.  As the above article mentioned people are struggling to pay their bills and put food on their table and we see the View cohosts enjoying a luxury resort.  

COVID is still very much a thing too. Where I am cases have been going up along with hospitalizations because everyone thinks things are back to normal and nobody needs to be careful anymore. So all of that and the fact that the show went on this luxurious getaway on ABC's dime really made me side eye all of them. I don't care if it's "The View's" anniversary year or not. 

That NY Post article did have a part in it that made me laugh for a few seconds. It acted like Jed was mad at the show and left instead of saying that she got booted for Megs.

During my own personal hard time, when I could barely pay bills and put food on the table, do you know what really bothered me?  The fact that I was having a hard time paying my bills and putting food on the table, definitely not a bunch of TV personalities on vacation.  That's what the remote is for, if you don't like it don't watch.

In the Newsweek article, Meghan says:

Quote

"Not that I'm paying any attention, but they were not nominated for any Emmys since the show was left," McCain said in the remote interview. "They're not getting the same kind of attention they did. They've yet to replace me, which is very strange."

Contrary to what Megan says:

Quote

In reality, The View was nominated for nine Daytime Emmy Awards this year, including a nod in the category of Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host. McCain was named in the lineup of hosts, as the nominations are for the previous year's work.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't nominated for best show which is unusual, but it was nominated for best host, which included Meghan, as well as the eight other noms.  So she just made herself sound ridiculous by saying there have been no noms since she left.

She does that every time she opens her mouth.  Either she didn't realize they (including her) had been nominated or she thought nobody would fact check her.  With everything that  has happened in the past couple weeks thank god she wasn't there to gloat. I might have thrown something at my TV.

The problem is nobody cares about Meghan's life. Without the View she doesn't have daily access to the masses.  We see how her book failed.   She is just not likable.  She has nothing to offer but obnoxiousness and her perpetual declarations of her perceived victimhood.

Knowing him he will fundraise off this.  Afraid to discuss his policies with the women on the View.  Not surprised at all.
