Qoass June 30, 2014 Share June 30, 2014 (edited) I would love to have Rosie back. I miss her when she's not on the air regularly even though she sometimes makes me cringe. If she doesn't return, I would love to have Paula Poundstone: so funny, single mom, up to date on current events, smart. As for a new young'un, I won't put forth a name because I think they'd need to discover an unknown. After all, who here had ever heard of Lisa Ling before she was on The View? Or Jessica Williams pre-Daily Show? As for journalists, I would love to see Callie Crossley. She's active on NPR and PBS both in front of and behind the camera but also has a soft spot for pop culture. She has moderated numerous news shows very well. In any case, I would like to get away from the sitcom/reality star model: while many performers are smart, I don't think this is the best source of well-informed panel members. More journalists/lawyers/business leaders, please.

Tosia June 30, 2014 Share June 30, 2014 I LOVE Bonnie Hunt! Samantha Bee has an irreverent humor that might work well. Love Rosie Perez, but her voice might need subtitles sometimes (for me and I have trouble understanding British accents too), Katie Couric smiles tooooo much---like Sherri. Rosie? Like her, but no. Too bossy. Same as Whoopi. I doubt any serous journalist/anchor would consider this job. I agree that the View needs different points of view--a woman with no kids and no plans to have them would be refreshing, cuz I have heard WAY too much about the "I'm a Mom, so I know everything," spiel. Plus it would be amazing to NOT have 40+ year olds acting like teens/20;s. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9838-future-co-hosts-talk-and-speculation-musical-chairs/page/2/#findComment-165289

Dreamboat Annie June 30, 2014 Share June 30, 2014 (edited) I'd take Rosie over Whoopi any day. Rosie is engaging and entertaining. I like Whoopi, who can also be entertaining if she wants to be, but it looks to me like all she is, is there. For purposes of roll-call. Whoopi? "Present". And that's about it. Viewers deserve much, much more from her and all the hosts. They had a real opportunity last year to make things so much better, finally having gotten rid of that stupid twit. So what did they do? Let Joy, a beloved favorite, go too. Expand loudmouth Sherri's role (so Whoopi could have even less to do), so all she did was talk more when she has nothing to say. Bring on Jenny McCarthy. Big mistakes. They have a chance now to greatly improve things. Rosie fits because she comes with proven talk show experience/success. I think it's possible she'd do better alone than being part of a panel. That would be okay with me if they scrapped the View and just brought Rosie on for her own show. But at this point in her life and her career, maybe being the lead moderator of the panel and not having an entire show resting on her is better suited to her now. I'd also like to see as part of the panel a smart and talented journalist, a smart and talented comedian (I miss Joy, and also love Bonnie Hunt). For the "young one", I can't believe there's a shortage of intelligent young women out there in such a competitive market. I thought having a smart and charismatic lawyer (back then it was Star) on the panel was a good idea and worked well. Sherri and Jenny never worked for me because I just don't think they brought enough to the table. Maybe that's why discussing current events and hot topics resulted in such a mess. Whatever they do, I'd like to see an end to the discussions of any and all reality show nonsense.

Cosmocrush June 30, 2014 Share June 30, 2014 I think we can cross Rosie off the list unless it's true that Geddie is gone. Not that I know if she would even be interested in sharing a platform with anyone again, but I feel safe in saying she wouldn't work with him again. She did leave a lasting impression on the show however: Rosie was the one that relegated him to the back after years of sitting in the front row. She is also the one that had the four day work week, and the audience giveaways. Unfortunately, her attempts at gearing an entire show towards a particular topic (adoption for example) fell by the wayside as did anyone that knew how to interview guests. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9838-future-co-hosts-talk-and-speculation-musical-chairs/page/2/#findComment-165769

So apparently I need to listen to more NPR, because that's her career these days it seems. It's the kind of situation, I guess, where habitual NPR listeners will know her, and the rest of the world may have forgotten about her. Being out of current pop culture awareness for the most part could be a good thing for anyone taking on The View, actually. She'd be a pro who'd know how to do the job, but with a lot less expectations laid on her than a bigger name. I suppose they'd wind up trying to counterbalance her on the other new hire with a conservative, but "girly", hire though (especially if Paula still threatens like status quo by going around in those ugly suits she used to wear). Judge Judy or Bonnie Hunt would be really good mods while different at least there would be some intelligence which is sorely lacking.

Cindy is one of Barbara's best friends and I think there is a lot of truth in the article! Looks like major changes come September! And even though Whoppie's still under contract, ABC might not have her be a part of the new relaunch...and she'd still be paid under her contract...good for her! "ABC means Always Be Changing. To review “The View,” the view looks cloudy: Joy Behar, axed. Meredith Vieira, whose career it revitalized, left. Hasselbeck, the blond right winger sports star’s wife, gone. Show’s creator Barbara retired. Minus notice, new addition Jenny McCarthy’s now a subtraction. Sherri Shepherd, fired. Also let go — its senior producer. Walters’ producing partner for 25 years, “View” co-creator Bill Geddie — iffy. On hiatus, the show’s due back September. With who? They need new staff. New cast. With ratings sliding, also new viewers. Couldn’t fire everybody so remaining only — Whoopi, who had a two-year pay-or-play contract. No stars, second stringers, are penciled in for the cast. You shouldn’t think Angelina Jolie. They’ve even burbled about refloating Rosie O’Donnell. And there’s Diane Sawyer, whose David Muir replacement’s p.d.q. Sept. 2. No last-minute decision. I heard of this months ago. Maybe they want everyone 12 years old. Maybe they feared losing Muir, who’d have other options. Their morning show lost its weatherman and second anchor. To stay happy, Stephanopoulos got big promises, big money and big assurances he’ll get the big interviews. Diane, not one to bolt the big picture anymore than Hillary, said she wants to do great stories, in-depth documentaries. What she’ll say, what they’ll say, what anyone will say down the line is a crapshoot." 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9838-future-co-hosts-talk-and-speculation-musical-chairs/page/2/#findComment-168342

TheGreenKnight July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 (edited) Going off the article in the media thread: I would definitely be here for a Whoopi, Rosie, Mario, and Bernadette/Idina panel. I think Mario would be calmer if he was on everyday, and it would be nice to get the point of view of someone who has no children and does not want them every now and then. I was wondering the other day with the new co-host speculation why they've never got a singer co-host before, because then they could perform on the show occasionally. I would definitely enjoy performances by either one of Idina or Bernadette occasionally as part of the show (similarly to how the comedians would occasionally have comedy segments). For younger singers who were big at one time but could use another job now, there's Jordin Sparks or Kellie Pickler, both who have worked with Disney/ABC before. I've seen them on other talkshows and they're capable of giving opinions without being argumentative. There's also older stars like Shania Twain, Bette Midler, etc. who don't really have anything going on (although they might have enough money that they'd have no interest in this show). I even think Queen Latifah would work; she's a nice personality that can't carry a solo show by herself, but would work well in a group. There's also Vanessa Williams, who's worked for ABC before, too.

Cosmocrush July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 (edited) If the goal is a younger audience (which isn't it always?) then I don't think Mario Cantone is going to cut it. Outside of Broadway does anyone under 40 even know who that is? He's probably best known for his role on SATC and even that show has been over for 10 years. Mario is the kind of thinking that would keep The View dusty and out of step. So maybe Sweaty Geddie will hire him. Have you guys seen the article in The New York Post Cindy Adams column? I pasted it below. Cindy is one of Barbara's best friends and I think there is a lot of truth in the article! Looks like major changes come September! And even though Whoppie's still under contract, ABC might not have her be a part of the new relaunch...and she'd still be paid under her contract...good for her! That story really doesn't say anything we don't already know. As far as Adams friendship with Babs, ABC didn't even bother to tell Babs about the shake up. She is on record as saying Sherri and Jenny weren't going anywhere just two months ago. Hell, even the day before the firings Babs was on the show thanking those two idiots. Plus, as others have pointed out here, Babs lies about this kind of thing all the time.

TheGreenKnight July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 (edited) I think many (all?) of the performers mentioned above would be surprised to learn that they'd need any type of career boost. I didn't say they needed a career boost, but it's a paycheck they probably couldn't make as easily in music anymore. When's the last time Shania had an album or Bette Midler did anything but give drive-by performances of "Wind Beneath My Wings"? Kellie Pickler, like all girls in country that aren't Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, or Miranda Lambert, is struggling to get new music heard or sold. Jordin Sparks has been inexplicably trapped in a vault by her record label. And Vanessa Williams had ABC give her a job on Desperate Housewives after the end of Ugly Betty, but then DH was also cancelled (if she was cast, maybe that could also predict the end of The View... lol ). These are just ideals for me though. I know not all of them would want to be on this show, but I would enjoy them.

mtlchick July 4, 2014 Author Share July 4, 2014 And Vanessa Williams had ABC give her a job on Desperate Housewives after the end of Ugly Betty, but then DH was also cancelled (if she was cast, maybe that could also predict the end of The View... lol ). I don't think they "gave her a job" as opposed to "we need to keep her on our talent roster for as long as we can." She did have 666 Park Ave after DH, that was one that got canned early. But after her divorce to Rick Fox, she did move back to NYC, still active on Broadway and is also the voice of the brown M+M. (Hey, someone needs to keep the red one in line.) I wouldn't mind this choice. But once you add men, you may as well just rename the show. The show was "for women, by women" or whatever the tagline was. It's not that anymore so why keep the name? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9838-future-co-hosts-talk-and-speculation-musical-chairs/page/2/#findComment-174989

springtime July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 (edited) I am close to Mario's age (54) and I had to do a Google search on him... TV Guide has an article saying he was offered a spot:http://www.tvguide.com/News/View-Mario-Cantone-1083937.aspx The show needs to remind themselves of what hosts viewers enjoyed in the past- Comedy doesn't seem to be the key Edited July 4, 2014 by springtime 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9838-future-co-hosts-talk-and-speculation-musical-chairs/page/2/#findComment-175437

LuckyBitch July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 Rather than focusing on different age ranges or political beliefs of panelists, I'd like to see a show with four or five women from different professions and backgrounds discussing important issues. A journalist, a lawyer, a doctor, a financial person, maybe an entertainer. I don't have these specific people in mind but I'm thinking of types like Meredith Vieira (journalism), Star Jones (legal), Nancy Snyderman (medical), Suze Orman (financial). Again, not those specific people, but I'm using them as examples of people from these particular fields that also have been in television and could participate in interesting panel discussions. A show consisting of a panel like that could actually be informative, relevant, and entertaining for their target audience. What a novel concept. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9838-future-co-hosts-talk-and-speculation-musical-chairs/page/2/#findComment-175866
