Former Hosts: PROFESSIONAL Life After The View

[Bronzedog]

Bitsy does too have friends! There's Roger from Survivor she sends ice cream to even though he doesn't like ice cream.

[Tunia]

^^Roger's ice cream is probably at the top of the list of items to be jettisoned now that Bitsy will be assuming the position of Chief Breakfast Officer.

[maggiemae]

Let's see here.....cereal - check

oj - check

fruit - check

Or Nigii bars, hard boiled egg, scrambled eggs, egg burrito along with fruit and juice and milk. MUCH too complicated for Tim or Nanny.

Good grief, when my Dad needed to go on a low carb diet for diabetes (not weight) I would make stratas, cut them in servings and they froze beautifully and all he had to do is microwave them for 45 seconds.

Something is wrong in Bitsyland - but I think it is being fired. What boss spends hours with you assisting in this decision of hers to be CBO. He does have Meghan and Gretchen in his stable along with other women. Much more capable than EH.

[Bronzedog]

And, now, the firing, umm, redistribution of breakfast duties at the Hasselbeck castle is having a ripple effect, and, poor Roger now has to go find a new present for whoever he has re-gifted the ice cream to for all these years.

[Tunia]

What boss spends hours with you assisting in this decision of hers to be CBO

 While I basically agree with this, we need to remember that this is Bitsy that's under discussion here.  That's the same Bitsy who is ruled by Timothy at home, was tutored and educated by Bill Geddie at The View, and went on to sit at the knee of Roger Ailes.  She needs that Daddy figure because she really has no firm convictions of her own.  Everything she "believes" is spoon fed to her by the likes of Hasselbeck (Family), Geddie, Ailes, Hannity. Huckabee, McCain, and whoever is highest in the ranking for GOP nomination...not an original thought in her bleached blonde frazzled head.    It's amazing we don't see the strings attached to this marionette.

[maggiemae]

Good grief - I always think back to when she was on the View and was asked to campaign for Palin on the road and wore one of her cheap Jackie-O jackets in green she was hawking on QVC. And then - brought up wardrobegate that the GOP had decided to squash about Palin. And was common knowledge. Good times!

Elisabeth loved Palin and Sherri too, because evidently Palin knew how to shuffle chairs around at a PTA meeting.

[Medicine Crow]

Did you see where Nicolle W. called Obama a jerk?

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/nicolle-wallace-bashes-jerk-obama-he-cant-tap-into-his-own-humanity/

Maybe she's auditioning for that spot on the curvy couch.

Oh man!!!  As I watched that video I felt like I was watching one of those alien movies & Nicolle's skin was peeling off to reveal the real danger to society she really is.  Just sayin'.

 

Also, for those of you who haven't checked it out, there's a "Small Talk" forum where we can address a variety of interesting topics.  LOL.

For better or for worse, Ailes is a master at communicating and media coaching. If there was any way he could have made Bitsy even remotely good at her job, he would have - she is a known entity, she is a bit of a hero to the hard right for standing up to big mean lesbian Rosie. The fact that he threw his hands in the air and said, yeah I got nothing to work with here, is a testament to how truly bad she was at it.

[maggiemae]

Man, Elisabeth could have given Walters a slight nod in her 3 minute sob farewell.

[NextIteration]

She's gone already?  I thought she was there into December.  More evidence she probably got shit-canned and her replacement is ready for her curtain call.

 

Bitsy stepped into pretty big shoes on the F&F couch, Carlson attended Stanford and was a Miss America (also babysat Michele Bachmann waaaay back in the day) and Edie Hill before her was on that couch for about a decade or so.

[rcc]

I'm glad I glanced at this site, since I completely forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

You're welcome.

 

Rosie did well as the smart ass bakery owner. I loved the scene when the two snobby customers looked at her talking with Cookie. Rosie looked trim and pretty good without makeup too.

[Mumbles]

You know, having seen this performance again, I am growing more and more pissed about her sob story about being like all working women. No, Bitsy. Most working women work full time at a fraction at what she was paid. A lot are single, and most who aren't have partners who work full time too, so child care has to be figured out. Dropping out for the luxury of being "chief breakfast officer" (gag) is just not an option. Years of getting a grossly inflated salary for a few hours' work, with a husband who doesn't work full time, are luxuries she does not acknowledge.

I know, I know, this isn't so much a "choice" for her as she's letting on - she's getting shitcanned - but for her to wrap herself in the mantle of the courageous working mom sacrificing to give her children that one hour before school - is such total bullshit. Fox News is letting her frame her own exit story - which is nice of them - but she used that opportunity to create a total fiction that insults the people who really live it.

[lookeyloo]

I am no Bitsy fan and only watched in total about 15 minutes of F & F just to see her but it occurs to me that she knew she was out of her element. She just seemed so stiff and uncomfortable and always holding the iPad. Even from the clips posted she doesn't seem to know how to interact and respond appropriately. Maybe it was a mutual agreement that she just couldn't hack it. Plus the getting up in the middle of the night also cuts into evening time with family if she went to bed with the kids or before. Doesn't seem like the job for everyone. But still I'm glad she is off the air.

[Vinyasa]

 

Maybe it was a mutual agreement that she just couldn't hack it.

Now I'm wondering is she got some type of "severance package" to "cook breakfast".

 

She was there 2 years, and don't know the length of her contract but maybe it was for 3 years and she will still get paid for another year???

 

Anyone know how these contracts work?

[Cosmocrush]

Maybe but I looked up that moron that sits to the right of her (Bitsy's left) and it's not like he's going to be winning any prizes anytime soon.  From the very little I've seen of this guy at work and read he seems just as bad if not worse than Bitsy.   In fact here is one of their collaborations:

 

On October 4, 2013

Fox News meteorologist Maria Molina was brought on Fox and Friends to talk about tacos to celebrate National Taco Day. Kilmeade asked Molina: "So what are the tips we need to know? You grew up on tacos, correct?" Molina denied it, explaining she was Nicaraguan and that tacos are not native to Nicaragua. At this point Kilmeade's co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked Molina "But if you did, if you did grow up on tacos?": 

 

http://www.rawstory.com/2013/10/fox-news-asks-nicaraguan-meteorologist-to-host-taco-day-segment-you-grew-up-on-tacos/

 

 Or this one, which reminded me of the "marrying toasters" comment Elisabeth once used in why gay marriage shouldn't happen.  

 

"We keep marrying other species and other ethnics"  - 2009

 

OH NOES! What happened on Fox and Friends today, people? According to Gawker, the bright and shiny lights have once again dazzled Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade (the Brown-Haired Guy) into pure befuddlement, and this subsequently caused a series of idiot words to pour forth from his cakehole. And no one thought to stop him or force his head into a bucket of water because this is exactly how Roger Ailes drew it up on the whiteboard! I suppose it must be said: Maybe Morning Joe's Starbucks sponsorship should be accepted as a r

 

Jesus, this Brown-Haired Guy [Kilmeade] He is like a murder of idiot crows, stuffed into an anthropomorphic flesh bag, that somehow successfully filled out a W-4 form and wandered onto a soundstage where he was adopted as a pet. From time to time, he produces words, and today, as his colleagues attempted to discuss a study that suggested that couples who enjoy long marriages showed a reduced tendency to develop Alzheimer's disease, he came up with these insane, vaguely racial ramblings:

 

BROWN HAIRED GUY: We keep marrying other species and other ethnics--

GRETCHEN CARLSON: Are you sure you are not suffering from some of the causes of dementia right now?

BROWN HAIRED GUY: The problem is the Swedes have pure genes. They marry other Swedes, that's the rule. Finns marry other Finns; they have a pure society. In America we marry everybody. We will marry Italians and Irish.

DAVE BRIGGS: This study does not apply?

BROWN HAIRED GUY: Does not apply to us.

[pause]

DAVE BRIGGS: Huh.

 

 

 

And that's just two examples.     So while I'm sure leaving was not Bitsy's idea, I'm not convinced it was Ailes idea either - at least if the reason was incompetence.  But there are dozens of other reasons to give her the axe.  Maybe she pissed off the wrong person ?  Maybe she was having an office affair?  LOL.     Or there is the chance that FF Ailes has different standards for women.  Hmmmm.

So RO thinks Bitsy's leaving was not exactly her idea either

 

 

Ginny writes:

Maybe don't agree with everything that Elisabeth H. does, but I admire her for quitting job to stay home with kids for a few years. Agree?

RO: i assume she was let go

 

[Tosia]

Good answer. Noble, my ass.

[ari333]

She was let go. She'd never leave that job by choice. imo

[Vinyasa]

If Fox didn't want Bitsy to leave, they could have moved her to this noon time show. I watched about 30 seconds of it and that was 25 seconds too much. She would fit  right in and still be Chief Breakfast Officer.

 

http://www.foxnews.com/shows/outnumbered.html

 

Bottom line: Bitsy was let go.

[Mumbles]

Oh absolutely. If Bitsy was a "talent" they wanted to hold on to, there are plenty of places they could have stuck her. They could have given her a weekend gig. They could have given her a gig that she could record when she wanted, between her CBO duties and workout schedule and running with a big flag. And given her fame hunger, she would have jumped at this.

Oh goodness!

Sherri is actually a pretty good actor. Provided that she gets good material and direction, she'll probably do very well.

I'm glad for her. It always annoyed me that Bitsy had a regular gig even tho she had no talent or knowledge, while Sherri, who does have some talent, would go from gig to gig. Now the worm has turned.

[Jpxfactor]

I will not watch anything Sherri is in..if I see her face ..change the station. She makes black women look horny and stupid. Oh and the baby she tried to get rid of...nice

Love RO and I think she was the best moderator the show has had except for Meredith, but I'm not so sure I agree with her thinking that Joy was involved in instigating the fight between RO and Bitsy. (see Ask Ro @ Rosie.com ) I remember Joy pleading, "Go to commercial, go to commercial" when things got out of hand. That whole split screen set up has Geddie's stink all over it.

So Sherri's going to be on Rosewood.  

I started watching Rosewood.  It's really bad.  The writing is terrible, full of cliches, it seems to steal from every other "medical examiner"  type of show you've ever seen before, and is on everyone's lists as  likely  to be cancelled.

[Mumbles]

I don't know if Joy had anything to do with the fight (Rosie is right that Joy started the discussion that led to the fight with a list of points, fwiw) but I've had a feeling for a while that Joy and Rosie were only co-workers and not friends. Rosie has said as much on her website, and their rapport was cordial on the show but not warm.

One thing that was interesting is that last year, when Rosie was still on the View, Joy was on Howard Stern. Howard asked Joy if she planned to visit or re-join The View and Joy said something like, no, I still have friends over there who talk to me and they don't like what's going on. At the time I wondered if it had something to do with Rosie.

Rosie is a complicated person who seems to have had some issues growing up regarding trust and loyalty in her family. Maybe Joy did help with the set-up. Or maybe Rosie is angry or disappointed that Joy didn't do enough in her view to prevent or diffuse it when it happened.

It didn't look all that interesting to me (very been-there-done-that) so I haven't watched, but apparently it's doing well enough that the network ordered more shows. The lists I saw a week or two ago had it more in the 'Meh' range. Not a hit, but not at death's door either. Based on the character description I can already see exactly how Sherri will play it. Just more of her usual schtick. No thanks.

[TheGreenKnight]

I don't think Joy was involved with the splitscreen setup, but who knows. Joy's comments on Meredith Vieira's show is what made me realize they aren't close. Which doesn't bother me, because they don't have to like each other for me to like them individually.

 

I still think some of it goes back to Whoopi. Joy wanted Whoopi to be the mod after Meredith and then pushed for her again after Rosie O left. Naturally, when Joy returned to The View this season she would take Whoopi's side in things because she is friends with Whoopi and only a co-worker/acquaintance with Rosie O. I wonder if Joy was friends with Whoopi before Whoopi joined The View? It almost makes me think Joy and Whoopi were both behind the press drama last season, since Joy is friends with most of the people behind-the-scenes. But Joy did come out to defend Rosie O when it was announced she was returning to The View (when Elisabeth was being a sourpuss.).

 

I guess it explains why Joy was let go along with Geddie/Elisabeth, and Barbara was "encouraged" to retire. In retrospect, I think those changes must've all been in preparation for the season Rosie O would return. Makes me wonder if ABC already knew Jenny McCarthy would be one-season only when they hired her.

 

Outside theories, I think letting Joy go was the flaw in the plan for the show's reboot, since I think she could've kept things from escalating with Whoopi (whereas Nicolle likely just fanned the flames, imo.). Of course, I could be wrong and Joy being there could've made it worse, with Whoopi/Nicolle/Joy on one side and Rosie on the other, and Perez caught in the middle regardless.

The more I hear from Rosie, the less I like her. Deflect and blame - everybody is out to get her and it's never her fault. Dragging Joy into that? No. Joy was clearly taken back and wanted to put an end to it. And Joy NEVER liked Elizabeth. She's been very coded in her language, but it's clear.

Here's the thing. Joy started the segment by reading a list. She may have been told to do so by Geddie - but not informed of why he wanted her to do so, the split-screen, etc.

 

But even if she was in on it - Rosie selects the questions and answers she wishes to post on her site. She CHOSE this question and answer.  I can understand being hurt by something privately, but seven+ years later, she chose to re-open this mess?  In a way that's just like how Fox and Bitsy keep bringing it up as bona fides for Bitsy standing up to big ole lesbian liberal Rosie.

 

For a woman who has been given a lot of gifts in life (and yes, I know, personal pain like we all feel), Rosie can come off as very petty and unhappy at times.

[bannana]

I think Joy was wounded that when Mer left she wasn't made the moderator.  And I don't blame her, but I think that colours some of her response in all that came afterwards.  I think Joy has a different outlook on life, and she is quite a bit older than Ro and had a completely different childhood with a close knit supportive family.

 

I like Joy, and I am even watching her silly new show.  But...during all that time on The View that Bitsy was the complete imbecile, disingenuous and sychophantic when it suited her, Joy kind of played into that.  You would see her interviewed on LKL or wherever and she would say:  Elisabeth is a nice girl, so what, who cares, and shrug her shoulders.  I am sure that is what pissed off Rosie.  I guess I am more like Rosie.  First, I want my friends to have my back and I will have theirs, always.  Second, I do not cowtow to people who are so phony in their thoughts and actions, and are offensive and judgemental whilst putting themselves on a pedestal.  I could start a diatribe here, but the most vile thing I feel Bitsy ever said was when she introduced Cindy McCain at some political event, who, as she said, came on The View "fresh as a daisy", the implication being, as compared to Michelle Obama, who apparently is not fresh as a daisy.  Grrrr, I am getting myself worked up here.

 

I think Ro has problems to be sure, but she has a big heart and her intentions are good.  I think Joy considers herself to be quite an intellectual, and she is smart and educated, but she needs to check herself, because she can be quite condescending.  But she knows how to go along to get along these days.  And collect the paycheck.  I am actually very aligned with Joy in almost all things she says, so for me to criticize her is odd, but I have watched her for years and there is a lot about her that is not that likeable.  

 

And finally, re Bitsy, I think she has serious mental health issues.  There is something wrong, and it is going to take effect.  I don't like her, but I feel sorry for her.  She is not like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman (who are no doubt clinical psychopaths, read the The Psychopath Test).  No, our pathetic Bitsy is someone who got thrown into the deep end and has been desperately treading water ever since.  I think she may have been fired from Fox, but I think it is more like they nudged her out because she is an emotional mess with other issues. 

[TheGreenKnight]

Joy's show on Sunday was probably the worst one she's had (the only other one I didn't care for was Wendy Williams). The guy who came on was a little annoying, and it turned into something not too light-hearted. Plus, I felt bad for the blonde woman being completely ignored for most of the show; I liked her, and would've liked to see her interact with Joy/Susie. I don't like Susie as much as Joy, but she's okay and her being there does help to make it a friendly atmosphere since her relationship with Joy is real. I feel bad that I had no idea who she was before Joy's show.

 

Btw, I didn't want to make a thread for it since it was only 5 episodes. Hopefully it'll get picked up for more episodes? Who knows.

Edited December 3, 2015 by TheGreenKnight

[TheGreenKnight]

I think Rosie posting that comment on her site is likely in response to Joy’s own comments on Meredith’s show, considering the timing. I don’t think Rosie has ever really talked about Joy before, except indifferently. I think there is always the possibility that Joy may have been loosely involved since she is close to Barbara, but I find it hard to believe she was in on it to the degree that it escalated.

I don’t think either Joy or Rosie is faultless generally speaking, but I enjoy both of them for the most part. I think the biggest difference between them (my impression) is that Joy can divorce her differences in opinion from her interactions with people (usually), where Rosie finds it hard to ever turn it off. Which I don't blame her for although I know it's offputting to others, but I do wish she was more like Joy there.

[ChicagoCita]

The guy who came on was a little annoying, and it turned into something not too light-hearted.

 

Colin Quinn. He was an MTV game show host and the weekend anchor on Saturday Night Live in the '90s.  He's someone who tends to be an acquired taste, too hip and esoteric to be mainstream. People pride themselves on being his fans, if that makes sense.

 

I wasn't really paying attention, but I did like that he took AA's policy of anonymity seriously and wouldn't discuss the program, although it was obvious everyone knew he was in it.

 

Other than that, nothing sticks in memory about the show except the counter breaking.

 

Sorry for posting so much, I had coffee tonight. ;-)

I only saw three shows, (Wendy Williams, Don Lemon, and Colin Quinn) and thought the best part was before the "headliner" showed up because then the other guest was sitting on a stool and basically left out of the conversation- probably because I was more interested in the "B" guest, lol.    Also, I'm not a big fan of Susie Esseman so there's that.  Still, I'd watch it if she got picked up. 

[maryis1]

I was wondering if the news of EH had hit the forum yet. I've been out of touch and only learned today that she was leaving/left.

 

I have no idea how that Kilmeade guy continues to keep his job. That guy is not only dumb, but if you read the transcript printed in this thread about dementia and him wondering out loud if ethnically pure countries made a difference. Because, you know, we here in America are mutts and marry outside of our "ethnic." Then his question about Kool-Aid last week?

 

And Bill O'Reilly. Weren't there taped telephone conversations between him and a woman he was having an affair with? And his lying about being in war zones and he wasn't. And Ron Reagan Jr. saying that O'Reilly was basically full of shit with the Killing Reagan book stories written in it.

 

And yet, these guys keep their jobs. Not only that, they pass judgment on people without a clue as to their own failings.

 

And yet Elisabeth is let go. Sure she was in over her head and as air filled as she was on The View but those other guys are lugging a lot of baggage and yet they remain.

 

Glad to read that Sherri has landed a recurring role in a show. I have always thought she did a good job on Everybody Loves Raymond and other roles. And her role on Raymond wasn't the persona that she has cultivated over the years on The View. Same goes for a movie I saw on TV that she was in. Wish I could remember the name of it. It was about a lost child and reconnecting with the child as an adult. She was really good in the role and so good in fact that I didn't even realize it was Sherri at first. So good for her getting the recurring role.

Fox & Friends' Hasselbeck: People Arguing That Thoughts And Prayers Aren't Enough Are Trying To "Take God Away."

ELISABETH HASSELBECK: I say this, if you want to line up with terrorists and try to take God away, you're not on the right side. That's all I'd have to say to those politicians who want to tell you to stop praying. Just don't. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 12/3/15]

In my opinion, comments like Bitsy's would only endear her to Faux News.   This is what they do.  Wasn't it just last week they made a huge thing out of red coffee cups at Starbucks?  Every year O'Reilly and company spent countless hours trying to make The War on Christmas a thing.

Bitsy had a new affectation this week.  Steve Doofus was droning on and on, and Bitsy was sitting in her usual ramrod (stick up her wazoo) position with her very, very serious face.  But then she started blinking, blinking, blinking.  Damn...I thought she was sending Morse Code messages over the airways!  Maybe you had to see it for yourself, but it was hilarious!

 

Unfortunately, my favorite local news station has hired a Bitsy clone, and she's driving me nutzzz.  She has so many of Bitsy's mannerisms that I think she must have attended the E. Hasselbeck School of Journalism...all the head tilts, lip pursing, nodding, blinking, and empty-headedness.  It's aggravating to the point that I'm going to have to get used to another station...BOO.

Good grief - who is saying stop praying Elisabeth? People are saying prayers are not enough, we need action. BTW - don't all religions pray?

And as far as I can see EH is a radical Christian. Just saying, as I am also a Christian. But a radical Muslim is not the only form of radicalism.
