Another article: ABC Confirms ‘View’ EP Bill Geddie Is Out, MSNBC's Bill Wolff In ETA: Also, we missed this one from a couple of weeks ago: Longtime producer Bill Geddie leaves 'The View' Published Sunday, August 10, 2014 12:08PM EDT LOS ANGELES -- Change keeps coming to ABC's talk show "The View." Its longtime executive producer, Bill Geddie, said in a statement Friday that he won't be involved in day-to-day production. The shift comes as "The View" reshapes its panel of co-hosts for next season. Series creator Barbara Walters has retired from on-camera duties, while Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy won't be returning. The final new episode with Shepherd and McCarthy airs Monday. Remaining co-host Whoopi Goldberg will be joined this fall by Rosie O'Donnell, who's back for a second "View" stint. Other co-hosts have yet to be announced. Geddie says he's "enormously proud" of the show he and Walters created 17 years ago. ABC had no comment on a replacement for Geddie, who says he plans to help with the transition throughout the upcoming season.

ChiCricket September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 (By Scott Whitlock, Newsbusters) According to speculation by the Daily Mail on Friday, Nicolle Wallace, a liberal Republican who worked on John McCain's 2008 campaign and famously feuded with Sarah Palin, has been selected to fill the "conservative" seat on ABC's The View. The rumor comes a day after the producer of the left-wing Rachel Maddow Show was hired to run the ABC chat show. Daily Mail writer Topper Toussaint claimed, "Commentator S.E. Cupp was also considered, but clashed with Rosie [O'Donnell]." He added, "'Rosie told her that her approach was just like Elisabeth Hasselbeck, which did not sit well,' according to the show insider." If the reports are true, Wallace will hardly be a conservative counterweight to the very liberal O'Donnell. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/75506-the-view-in-the-media/page/8/#findComment-344181

I know Rosie Perez on sight, but I've never watched her in anything so I have no thoughts about her ideas and how she expresses them.

LuckyBitch September 10, 2014 Share September 10, 2014 (edited) I've tried, fl2dc, Sherri's Lord knows I've tried. I can no longer pay attention to anything Rosie Perez says because I can't stand her voice. She has played parts where her accent isn't as pronounced and her voice isn't as irritating. Can they bring in a vocal coach...quickly? Surely mine is a minority opinion. Former Nun, I'm right there with you and fl2dc. I haven't been posting lately, but when I heard this news last week it sealed my decision to not even bother watching this season. Until then, I thought I'd finally check it out again after taking three years off. But I just cannot take Rosie Perez's voice for one minute. I think she really was an odd choice. Also, from the article linked above: ...Perez had already agreed to star on Broadway in Larry David’s play “Fish in the Dark.” Can she do both jobs from mid January through May or June? She certainly won’t be able to be on “The View” on Wednesdays, when the play would have a matinee. I am assured that it can all be done. What's so terrific about Rosie Perez as a co-host that they had to accommodate her schedule like that? Frankly, the inconsistency on this show has been one of its major problems. After a year of revolving guest co-hosts and the regulars always taking so much time off, it would probably be best to solidify a new panel and have them there on as consistent a basis as possible. Then again, this is The View, so some things never change. This part of that article is a bad sign, as I think it would be best if Babs was totally detached from the show: But I can tell you that when “The View” goes live on the 15th, Barbara Walters will definitely be there. Only she will be backstage in her role as executive producer. “She will not appear on the set,” says a source. This is such a mistake, in my opinion. Barbara should be right there, at least once a week, as a guiding force. She still owns part of the show, although I’m told she sold part of her ownership to ABC and now has just 17%. Her controlling interest is gone. But ABC can’t completely ice her out, so Walters will be allowed to act as an executive. I'll have to just continue to skip this show and read about it here, which is always far more interesting and entertaining.

CathinAZ September 11, 2014 Share September 11, 2014 (edited) I loved this blurb from Rosie O. the "Oh Snap" link: "Insisting that she wants the show to be smarter, she makes a dig at Sherri Shepherd, a co-host that left The View this summer. "No one is going to think the Earth is flat," O'Donnell tells the trade publication, referring to a comment made by Shepherd. "When I was at home watching that, I thought I was going to have an aneurysm." God bless her for saying this! I felt the same way...what a waste of viewers time to listen to crap like that! ! Unfortunately, ABC exes didn't feel the same way and felt that outrageous comments like this from Sherrie and Elizabeth would "make sparks" and get people watching. They should have nipped that in the bud right then, by requiring cohosts to do some prep work, read the news, be more thoughtful in their comments, etc. Honestly, If Sherrie just got flustered, misspoke and blurted out that flat earth gaffe (everyone makes mistakes) then the next day she could just apologize and say "my bad" but we soon found out that these haphazard and often ignorant comments from Sherrie and Liz were the norm Edited September 11, 2014 by CathInAZ 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/75506-the-view-in-the-media/page/8/#findComment-366205
