The View — Part 28, Season 27

And their vacation continues with another three-day work week.

I wonder if anything is going to change... the roster? Probably not.

Nope. They're already airing ads and everyone is there.

I will be working from home this season.

It's amazes that they are able to keep finding the whoopster different potato sacks every day. So damn chic ----------- said no one ever...

Well, if she finds time for her wacky shoes, why should the City Mumus be surprising?

I wonder if Whoopi was on the chopping block but once again was given a last minute reprieve. The past few months she seems to have had a personality transplant. Acting very grateful for the job, telling the audience how much she appreciates them (sure) and also saying she was told to participate more in the human interest/Reddit segments.

Anyone else would have been gone after those incredibly ignorant and arrogant Holocaust remarks. But she's still there.

You missed the point of view for her Holocaust statements. That weren't arrogant, they were American Black specific.

They were incorrect and they were wrong. I really don't care about her experience as a black person in relation to how she views the Holocaust.

When you have all of the co-hosts, two of which are married to Jewish men, trying to tell her she was wrong and she continues to steamroll on with her bullshit, well, typical Whoopi. Hae I mentioned she was wrong?

You see, it wasn't bullshit. It was one Black woman's opinion that was unacceptable to the white women, Jewish or not. It was her opinion and perfectly correct. If you think her opinion is wrong, you may be racist.

Her statement that, from a black woman's point of view, the Holocaust was white people killing white people. I perfectly agree with her perspective.

R8/10 is the troll who regularly calls people Klan Grannies and is now trying to deny the reality of the Holocaust . They should be F&F'd.

R8, R10, I just love the way you fall in line and use a capital B for the word black. The NYT and Amy Winehouse would be proud. Now black is a monolithic, all-encompassing word to desribe such a varied and multi-cultural race? Your acceptance of such a vague description shows how you process information.

As for your repetitive assertion that Whoopi has a right to express her opinion? Not so much. She inisited Jews were not a race yet that's how Hitler presented them in order to build up hatred against these people. She's part of the ABC News division that's why they're always being fed facts and corrections by the producers throughout the show.

She appears to be someone who sleepwalks through her job, can't be bothered to attend the pre-show meetings and doesn't have the capacity to admit she's wrong unless she's threatened with expulsion. As that old annoying phrase proclaims: Facts matter. Yet Whoopi feels she can just show up and wing it, as she's been doing for years. But sometimes her lack of preparation becomes glaringly obvious and this was one of those times.

Lastly, I noticed you capitalize the word black, as previously mentioned. You also capitalize the word Jewish, yet you don't capitalize the word WHITE. Hmmm...someone has issues.

Sweet Jesus, the Klan Grannies have found me!

[quote]You also capitalize the word Jewish, yet you don't capitalize the word WHITE. Hmmm...someone has issues.

I capitalize White Racist, White Racist Evangelical, White Supremacy, White Nationalism, The White Heritage Foundation all the time. I also like the White pejoratives of Whoodie and Hoopies. Stupid, toothless, White people who voted against their interests...Hoopies. One day I hope Hoopie becomes the "H" word.

Oh and I am not a Holocaust denier. I only believe a Black woman should have a right to her minority perspective.

[quote] I only believe a Black woman should have a right to her ignorant perspective.

Fixed it for you.

I even think you have a right to your opinion R16.

It is not a fact. It is an opinion. Once you learn the difference, there is no reason for aggravation.

[quote] It is an opinion. Once you learn the difference, there is no reason for aggravation.

I'll make sure to remind you of that every time you stupidly label someone a Klan Granny.

Hey hey now y'all. The damn show IS called The VIEW. That was tha whoopster's view, correct?

R18, Klan Grannies are racists who attack Black female celebrities for their being famous Black women. Their favorite target is Meghan Markle. And as a reminder, the British version is Racist Tory Cunt. Whoopi is one person to but Klan Grannies and Racist Tory Cunts are legion. They swarm.

[quote] Klan Grannies are racists who attack Black female celebrities for their being famous Black women.

Right. Which is why your labeling of anyone who criticizes Sunny, who behaves like an entitled asshole on the show multiple times a week, as a Klan Granny simply because she's Black is ridiculous. As is your labeling of anyone criticizing Whoopi for her idiotic Holocaust comments. I guess ABC, which suspended Whoopi because her comments were so reprehensible, is run by Klan Grannies too? You're also not a Black female celebrity, but you claimed you were being attacked by Klan Grannies. So maybe the problem isn't everyone else. Maybe it's just that you're just kind of an asshole?

Boy R14, for someone who likes to rage on about supposed racists, your post is full of hatred toward one specific group. You can pretend it's about supremacy but it's really about your hatred or what I would refer to as View specific "Sunny's envy" towards WHITEY.

r22, that one specific believes they OWN the US.

Well at least you’re not denying you’re a racist, R23. Now we can all F&F you accordingly.

Ahhh, the Klan Grannies love pointing the projection finger. Don't F&F me, just don't spew your hate here.

Seriously your constant use of “klan grannies” doesn’t make you sound smart or clever or like you’ve got the moral high ground on anything. It makes you sound like a loser.

It is shorthand. Just that simple. Old, White, racist conservative gay men. Shorthand.

You defaulting to calling everyone who says something you don't like or who disagrees with you a racist also makes you a loser.

Then I am a non-racist loser.

I can live with that.

r29/OP - Bless your heart.

[quote] Then I am a non-racist loser.

Well you’re half right.

[quote]Well you’re half right.

And you're all wrong.

The only reason I am bothering with the Klan Grannies is that we have 10 days to go before the new season.

Women ranked by net worth.

r33, it is a stupid post, but a perfect example of NYC multi-millionaires who are fairly middle class. Billionaires have dropped them into the middle class. To me, rich begins when your investment income, capital gains, is excess to your needs.

A] Can someone figure out what the total cost of living in NYC is for a family of 4 is?

Current investment accounts are paying 5%.

Can someone tell me what bulk capital cash, paying at 5%, would yield the figure in A?

To me, THAT is rich. NO EARNED INCOME.

By my calculations, ten million dollars generates $500K a year at 5 %.

That is the bottom line of rich. Ten Million Dollars.

Only Joy and Whoopi meet this criterion.

Ten Million cash reserve.

500K a year is only a couple of Birkin bags. What about the other 364 days?

500k in unearned capital gains, on capital of 10 million dollars, TO ME, is rich and a lovable income in Manhattan.

TUESDAY!

TUESDAY!

TUESDAY!

There’s a new set this season. And a new cast photo.

They brought back Barbara?

Ana is eye fucking the camera in that photo.

Which one of those clickbait links is the new table

Nobody's watching? Whoopi is out with covid. I like the new set.

Well, same set except the table. But they changed the color scheme.

I'm shocked Ana was on today's show. Up until now they've been militant about Joy never working Monday, Whoopi never working Friday, and Ana never working any day but Monday and Friday. Even when they were pre-taping the Friday shows on Thursday and someone else was out for the live Thursday show, Ana wouldn't appear despite clearly being in the studio that day.

R46, maybe they changed the terms of her contract. She's a pain in the ass always trying to moderate and change the topic. She did again today.

Whoopi was out sick. That dominoes Joy's Mondays and Ana's regular schedule. It would have torpedoed the season opener if they weren't all there, and then Whoopi tests positive.

Joy monitors another great episode.

I guess they can't get actors on because of the strike? Are other daytime shows able to book actors?

SSDD. Joy continues to live in her progressive bubble and can't understand why Biden is at 39% approval rate. Buy a clue, fellow eightysomething. Tell John Travolta we say hi.

Sunny's angry about what? What else - RACE. Wah, wah, wah. Lawyer voice. Wah, wah. wah. I suppose Sunny doesn't practice the art of staying in the present. Buddha says you need to evolve. Have you ever noticed her eyes widen and her voice rises when she's shoveling what she tries to pass off as fact. In reality it's just another one of her petty digs aimed at a subject who is on her endless list of perceived mortal enemies .

Ana - Once again tries to moderate and shuts Sunny down telling her it's her turn to speak. Shuts her down a second time. There's a reason why she's not a full-time co-host and residing in FL has nothing to do with it.

Mama's boy convo. Sunny is the queen.

Joe Jonas and wife say bye-bye marriage. Joy thinks the kids should not have to travel. Sounds tradtional, Joy. The nomadic progressives now have their washed-on-a-rock panties in a twist, for those who wear panties.

Guest; Reneé Rapp a supposed actress obviously not SAG. Singer, was on Broadway in Mean Girls. Sings a song and loves to use the word "like" like a lot. Oh, and she's Bi (capital B.) Seems like a nice kid.

Martina Navratilova is still alive. Good to know.

Sunny really lives in her own world. Case in point, calling Nikki Haley a hypocrite while ranting against private schools and then Alyssa pointing out that Sunny herself went to private school.

But my favorite was yesterday when she said the Democratic party should rally behind Kamala if Biden doesn't run. In what world would that be a good idea? Kamala has lower approval ratings than Biden and her last presidential campaign was a disaster. Sunny also trotted out her "you can't win without the black vote" spiel, which may be true, but Kamala has done nothing to prove she would successfully turn out black voters. If anything, her 2020 run showed that many black voters don't respond to her.

Biden has been through the Reagan Recession and the Republican S&L dissolution, and EIGHT years of DOUBLE DIGIT inflation.

Biden was in charge of the Obama economic reconstruction after the Bush Economic meltdown. He was thwarted by Republicans who wanted regular Americans to suffer for their stupidity.

Biden flooded the nation with cash during and after the pandemic with the American Rescue Plan Act. He did what no Republican would ever do. And now we have a smidgen of inflation, but almost everyone has a good paying job.

Biden's other accomplishments are great, but the biggest is also his most confounding. He saved the nation from pain. There were no long lines for Food Stamps. There were no long unemployment lines. There were no swelling of middle class medical bankruptcies. There was no need because Biden managed us out of the PAIN. Republicans like for us poor people to suffer. They cut taxes on the rich and cut programs for the rest of us.

Whether you know it or not, Biden is CONTINUING to Build Back Better.

Oh, and that TPP that Republicans got rid of because they could not squeeze a profit out of it?

Biden reoriented it as a NATO security alliance for the Pacific. Biden is slowly coalescing a TPTO. Trans Pacific Treaty Organization. He quietly enrolled VIETNAM last month. Biden is freaking amazing.

He is Lincoln, FDR and LBJ all rolled together. He is quietly working behind the Trump noise. Next August, Trump and the Republican Senators will not know what happened to them.

R52, for me, that's why Sunny has zero credibility. She will always back the person of color unless they're a black man who is/was married to a white woman.

I would trust her reasoning if she would just lay out facts about the person. Like in Kamala's case instead of listing her supposed strengths and accomplishments she usually starts bitching about racism (yet again) or blaming the low poll numbers on the fact she is a woman. Kamala's a trainwreck and Biden is too damn old, I don't care what R53 believes. Lastly, Hunter is an absolute prick. He's a spoiled, selfish asshole who is dragging his father down.

Hunter bashing, r54? Well, at least you're transparent.

1) Every Elected President runs for a second term. Only LBJ and the Vietnam war were different.

2) Biden is a perfect president to take white people into plurality status.

R55, Hunter's an over-indulged brat and he IS dragging his father down into the gutter with him. How is that "transparent?" Now we all have to get in line and pretend Hunter's not an asshole or we're not considered good litle Democrats? Get lost.

Weiss is charging him with the same bullshit misdemeanors. Taken to trial, acquittals.

You've gotta love these bitches. In the first segment they're extolling the virtues of immigrants who are flooding NYC. In the second segment they're talking about their fear of this escaped murderer who emigrated from Brazil. Okay. Oh, and Joy is now fine with arming the locals with assault weapons in order to protect themselves against this virtuous immigrant. Okay.

Benjamin Crump has a new grift. I wonder how Fearless Fund's 501(c) was approved if the tenets of the non-profit are in violation of the terms. I suppose the founders showed bias. 'Instill fear" Ha, that's a black dog whistle. Yup.

Joy has some sort of bias against the color blue. Gay wedding. Outside. 500 guests. Must wear blue and white. Everyone say a prayer for Joy this weekend.

Last guest, chef Alex. Not familiar with her but she's funnier than any of the comedians they've had on in the last few years.

I hope Whoopi returns today. The women were BLAND last week.

They just had a long discussion on how Republican donors were concerned about Tim Scott's single status and nobody brought up the obvious reason for the "concern." They also didn't mention Lindsey Graham, who also ran for president, and his single status.

Yeah, that was surprising to me. I figured at least Joy would have mentioned that him being single *might* lead to speculation that he's gay. Surely it came up in the hot topics meeting at least? I can only guess they were worried Fox News or the NYPost would run a story saying The View was questioning his sexuality and decided not to give them that kind of gift.

It is quite noticable that the strikes have finally hit The View. Only Broadway, only foreign, only independent writers. HipHop.

Ana's shading of Mooghan today was hilarious.

R64 What did she say?

Yeah, I didn't hear her refer to or even imply anything about Meghan.

During the discussion about Hunter Biden's business dealings Ana said, "The amount of people who are spouses, even stupid siblings, you know the related thrice removed...God knows there are children who are not qualified to do *anything* that keep getting great jobs just based on their father's name." Then she did a little throat clearing and side glance, indicating she was referring to someone specific. It was obvious who she was talking about, which caused Sunny to laugh hysterically for the next 30 seconds.

OK. I took that as a reference to the Trumps or Kushner.

It wasn't a specific McCunt slam but a general statement about people like her.

At least I can pronounce ‘Lilliputian!’

On Wednesday’s show Sunny made the assumption that Black voters wouldn’t vote for Biden if he “got rid of” Harris. I’m getting fucking tired of Sunny speaking for Black voters. They’re not a monolith. At least Joy tried to say Sunny was “underestimating” Black voters but Alyssa and Sunny were talking over her.

Yeah that discussion about Kamala made me roll my eyes yet again at Sunny. She shot down Alyssa’s suggestion of Val Demmings as VP because “black women aren’t interchangeable.” But if Kamala were to step down you know she’d *insist* on another black woman, so I guess in that case they would be interchangeable.

Sunny-Bunny becomes more full of herself with every show and it just can't be squelched. You know what would really snap her into reality? If her dear husband Manny-Bannee got caught cheating on her. Can you imagine! I'd love it. I wonder who it would be and what she might do. The prospect is a little fantasy I hold dear to my sweaty nards. Man-nee! Man-nee! Man-nee! Just do it!

Today's show should be titled: Enabling those with whom you agree.

First Segment: Whoopi defends Fetterman's choice of dress which consists of hoodies and shorts. Schumer changed the dress code of the Senate in order to accomodate this walking lobotomy. Changes such as this seem minor but this is how the foundations of society begin to crumble. Put on a friggin' suit and do your damn job. As for you Whoopi you can head out to Woodstock in your migrant inspired Garanaminal wear, and sit in an empty field while you share your pearls of wisom with the squirrels. I bet she can't cross her legs when she sits.

Second Segment: Larry David and Elon Musk walk into a bar...actually they are intentionally seated next to each other at a wedding in order to see sparks fly. David accuses Musk of being in favor of child murder because he votes R, Musk disagrees. Larry you're at a wedding just eat your damn appetizer and make small talk. Another societal foundation crumbling. Dinner decorum matters.

Segment Three: Lauren Boebert is still a lying, classless, vaping, crotch-grabbing Senator. Yes, Senator. This just in - going forth she will only grab the crotches of R men. Ds are now a no-go zone. Go sit next to Fetterman. Another crack in the foundation.

Segment Four: Best friends with your spouse. These segments make me lactate. I don't really give a fuck. Sunny and the pulling of the plug. She's in for a rude awakening if she ever takes ill. Actually with Manny at the helm I'm guessing she won't wake up at all. Whoopi and Sunny disagree about parent and child behaving like friends. Sunny does not want to be friends with her mother or children. Whoopi has to school her about being friends with her daughter. Whoopi didn't you have your daughter when you were like twelve? Of course you're friends. You grew up together. Seven abortions but somehow this one was spared.

Segment Five: Guest is Matt Gutman, author of the book No Time To Panic. Anxiety Aattacks-R-Us. Hasn't he been talking about this for years? Time to make bank, I suppose. Joy is a moron trying to give the guy a panic attack. Alyssa suffers from panic attacks. Sunny suffers from panic attacks. I believe Sara also suffers from panic attacks. Matt is starting to sound like a preacher with a message. "You are not alone." When you're having a panic attack you could be in a crowd of thousands and you are completely alone.

It was nice to see Sara's husband and kids on Monday

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed again R74?

Why watch if you dislike it this much?

No R76, it's referred to as sarcastic humor. Something this site used to enjoy. Are you autistic or just a self-righteous type of person?

As for today's show, what shitshow. An entire segment lost because Whoopi decided to go after Joy. Live!!!

R77, they have no writers and sometimes real time reality show pokes its ugly head.

No R78, Whoopi just snapped at Joy again. She used to coast now she has to actually prepare notes and keep them in order. Oh, the horror! She's completely unprofessional and she's obviously threatened by Joy and her Monday moderating role.

Oops, I meant Friday moderatation.

The Ana thank you notes were hilarious.

Ana is just getting annoying. She wants to be the comedian, but it doesn't work for her. You're a lawyer, so stop trying to be witty.

I hate lawyers who try to be witty. I, on the other hand, am sophisticated and haughty.

Sunny was in (not so) rare form again today, ranting about Nikki Haley being a hypocrite for writing a blurb for Vivek's book and then trashing him in the debate. Meanwhile, no one pointed out that her idol Kamala trashed Biden in the debates and then agreed to be his VP.

The show has improved tenfold now that the writers are back.

On today's podcast Sunny said she's confident, which some people mistake for arrogance. Sadly, the podcast doesn't include a laugh track, which should rightly have accompanied that exchange.

Reason why Whoopi was missing.

Today they talked about Will and Jada. Sunny mentioned that the two had grown up in very different environments and that Jada grew up around and was used to seeing open relationships. Someone asked why Will, who wasn't used to that, would have agreed and Sunny said "because he obviously loved her so much." You just know if the situation was reversed and Will was the one who wanted the open marriage that she would have railed about how no way in hell would she ever let her man sleep with someone else. But since they were discussing another black woman Sunny barely said a word.

He could have kept her as a side piece and baby momma. It would have hidden his DL activities.

Some baby mama. Those two freaks they sired are a walking ad for birth control.

I like how they dropped the table for the regular chairs. Joy is no longer hiking her ass onto a bar stool and sliding off and injuring herself.

Dicks the Musical got good blurb-o-mat.

The bad thing is that, Bowen Yang is a thing.

Ana made another not so thinly veiled attack at Meghan when discussing nepo babies today. She said the ones people object to are the ones who start every sentence with "My father or my mother" and make everyone's lives miserable by acting like brats because they know they can't be fired. Sara then said something about how some nepo babies actually work harder to prove themselves and Ana said "not here."

Funny, but they bleeped Ana saying cojones Friday.

It was a odd week when I heard the phrase pissed off used. Is there a quota?

Was there one interesting segment this week?

I hate Sunny.

Here's one, R95.

Let me know when both Trump and DeSantis step on a scale in bare feet and have their height and weight measured in court.

I think today’s Thanksgiving episode was the first time that all 6 women have appeared together since they announced Ana and Alyssa as full-time hosts. And even then I don’t think they appeared other than for the announcement.

That's because Ana is a regular fill in Mondays and Fridays.

They have throttled political Hot Topics.

Officially boring, but we'll have to see what happens after the first of the year.

Not sure what you mean. They do Hot Topics, including tons of politics, every day. Today they spent 2 segments talking about anti-semitism on college campuses.

Ana shit talked Meghan again without naming names. Now Meghan is whining that she wants to sue. And yet she wonders why everyone thinks she's a whiny little bitch.

Moogan, sweetie, you ARE a crime.

Any Hot Topics discussion about the resigned President of Harvard ? Or are they keeping quiet ?

They will let that one settle til it is a not so hot topic.

Has Kate Hudson inherited her mother's Facial Fillers?

Kate looked puffy. She also should cut her hair.

They didn't talk about the criminal who attacked the female judge in the courtroom (she looked like Streisand). I wonder why ? This would be right up Sunny's alley

Ana's birthday celebration included a drag brunch and her admonition for active support of the gay community.

Ana has lost some weight.

[quote]Ana has lost some weight.

She says it's because of a retreat she made.

R112 She needs to come forth and tell the truth - Ozempic. Her birthday bash was awful. Who produced that segment ?

r113, It seems that she wanted to do a promo for the Drag Bar and its gay owners, but ABC made a conscious decision to emphasize the birthday only. That is why the food came out, and disappeared, and the segment was split to an opening presentation and a dance number to close. This was made obvious when Ana introduced the lovely owners and the camera froze on a wide-shot, never showing them. It was noticeable that ABC did not want them on screen. If I had to guess, Brian produced the segment himself, as it involved airfare and accommodations from Miami for all the Queens.

R114 I thought it was funny whenever the camera shot to AFG, she had an 'distanced' look on her face and didn't look too happy with the food they put in front of her. I don't think I saw her eat anything - as a matter of fact, it looked like she moved it aside. You can tell she was NOT on board with that. Sunny didn't look too interested in it, either.

Not sure how Ana became the spokesperson for 'Florida Drag Queens'.

Whoopi and Joy sure do love Liz Cheney.

I thought the Cheney interview was very well done. The ladies put their political differences aside, as this was not the interview for that. She was there to promote her book 'Oath and Honor', which had to do with Jan 6. Everyone at that table - including Cheney - was on the same side what should be the future of Trump. It was rather nice to see these women with opposing views of the guest aim for the same goal, and have a cordial, common bond. (The same for Rachel Maddow when she had Cheney on a month ago).

Yes, we can put our differences aside and focus on what matters most as Americans.

They all agree that they hate Trump.

R118 Yes - the common enemy always brings friends and foes together. They were very nice to Chris Christie last week, too. They made it clear they were on opposite ends of the political rope, but they were all there for one common goal - to stop Trump from being President. And they could all agree on that.

The enemy of my enema is my friend.

Am I crazy, but has Sara been assigned the crazy conservative position now that Alyssa is an important Federal Witness?

I don’t think Sara seems conservative at all. Frankly, neither does Alyssa though. She’s not a religious nut, is pro choice, pro gun control, and pro lgbt. I’m not even sure why she identifies as a republican considering they aren’t even the party of small government anymore with the book bans and telling parents they can’t decide how to help their own kids who are trans.

Sara has said over and over again (especially the past few weeks when the Caucus / Primary season started) that she's an "Independent who leans liberal". She's also their 'go-to-point-person when it comes to mental health issues (she suffers from depression - so ask her anything!) and LGBTQ+ issues (her brother is gay - so ask her anything!)

Alyssa is a staunch republican, but she says over and over again - 'not a Trump Republican'. She's a traditional conservative who is rooting for Niki Haley, and also a supporter of Liz Cheney since Day One (January 7, 2021). She sides with Sununu, Cheney, Haley, Christie and Romney. She believes she's a "Never Trump" er. At times, she has also referred to herself as a 'woman of color' since her ethnicity is Mid-Eastern.

Whoopi has one political belief and that is star fuckery. She will defend a famous person and side with them in any dispute.

Except Rosie O.

She hates Rosie

Has anyone noticed how long winded Ana has gotten? I used to really enjoy her, but now I feel like she dominates every conversation by going on and on.

Ana also thinks she's the 'comedienne' on the show. I don't think Joy appreciates that.

WTF was with all the Elmo hate on the show today?

Dis Sara lose her mind?

[quote]Ana also thinks she's the 'comedienne' on the show. I don't think Joy appreciates that.

to be fair, Joy hasn't said anything funny in years.

Today's show was awful. They discussed Chris Christie's comments about Biden not being the strongest candidate the Democrats could run, but basically talked over and shouted down Alyssa's very well reasoned comments about how a fresher face might be a stronger candidate. Worse, Whoopi kept insisting "it doesn't matter because it's gonna be Biden." Yes, we know it's Biden. The point of the discussion is whether it *should* be Biden. Jesus. Whoopi also did her usual nonsense filibustering when a discussion of polls came up, insisting it's up to *us* to decide. Does she genuinely think people don't know the difference between polling and voting? I get that she doesn't like polls, but she shuts down every conversation about polls with this same nonsensical interjection every time. It's exhausting.

R129, we live in a reality show time and when contestant's are voted off the island weekly, it is easy to confuse polling with voting. People need to brush up their civics and how government does not run like a reality game show.

Will Sunny be paying reparations to the descendants of the slaves her ancestors owned?

Actor Billy Dee Williams, 86, sat for one of the most uncomfortable interviews this season as he was promoting his new memoir. He didn't seem too interested in answering questions as he seemed to be in a 'zombie' state of mind, and it didn't help the energy at the table with Whoopi sitting at the head of the table with her chin resting in the palm of her hand, looking as bored as can be.

Credit to the other women for fawning all over him (especially Sunny), but he seemed disinterested.

Joy tried to spark up the conversation when she brought up his two movies from the 1970s which he costarred with Diana Ross ("Lady Sings The Blues", "Mahogany"). They played a clip from 'Mahogany', and the Behar mentioned Ross has been on the show before and she's a legend. She then prods Williams - Tell us about Diana Ross. What was it like working with her ?" , hoping to get some gossip and whip up the conversation.

Williams sluggishly replied, "We were like two children having fun in a sandbox. It was fun to work with her."

And that topic came to a close, as he said nothing else - Behar looked at the audience with a smirk, as if to say "I tried..." Billy went back into his zombie mode.

Billy Dee Williams was slow talking and slow responding.

Pretty boy just got old.

He’s not old. He’s as young and vital as ever!

Not sure why they had him on promoting his book - he was out of it. I wonder if he was medicated ?

Here is the interview.

I like when he shut Sunny down - 'Everyone's a person of color'. She then clarified, 'well, a black man' and he countered again with - 'a brown man'. He wasn't having any of her nonsense.

He sounds like a waste of time on a talk show. Not that Whoopi is helpful to the interview.

He and Babs Streisand waited too long to put out memoirs.

If Babs had such a tough time selling hers , can you imagine what a flop his will be ?

I really sensed he didn't like Sunny at all, no matter how much she gushed all over him.

Today they had chipmunk faced Amy Schumer on - for two segments - pushing her new series. I'm not a Schumer fan, can't understand her appeal at all, yet they act like she's the funniest person on earth.

Amy is the face of The View, viewer Frau.

White, middle-aged, cute, funny and obese.

Of course, they love her.

She IS the suburbs.

ABC has wised up and placed the View Your Deal Profit Machine just after Hot Topics today on the Presidents' Day Pre-record.

Too many people turning The View off after the Cleleb Blurb-o-Mat.

VYD wasn't a segment today. Instead, they did their 'mini infomercial' with 'Bed Bath and Beyond' (which has nothing to do with the chain that closed last year - some internet company only bought their name) selling bedroom stuff that got Sunny all excited. And it happened way after Hot Topics and after the celeb interview.

My point was that it wasn't at the end of the show.

Is BBB still alive?

What a difference a guest makes, I guess.

Speaker Hakeem Jeffries dropped by THE VIEW today, and did his usual talking points which all visiting pols do on the show. I like HJ - he's very amiable and engaging (yet, so are many of the others - whether I like their politics or not).

Whoopi pulled a 180 of her usual self. She didn't sit in her chair with her chin in her hand and look bored. She didn't make side eyes to the audience as she usually does with the majority of the guests. She was actually engaged, sparked conversation and asked questions. I wonder what woke her up ?

Who was Joy taking a dig at with her nepotism comment? I'd assume Meghan, but she mentioned the person having a business, which I don't think Meghan does.

I thought it was towards the Trump kids.

I believe she was taking a dig at McCain first, as McCain started her own production company last year. Then Whoopi gave her 'the eye' and she changed it to Ivanka Trump.

Sara's husband is hot.

Sunny is a classic example of why Catholics should never be given a microscope.

She needs to go back to implantation or miscarriage, quickening, viability.

Fertilization is silly, fetal heartbeat is silly [no heart only a throbbing proto nerve, not a heart],

Naturally, Sunny brought up the Alabama decision as being 'racist' which none of the other hosts were agreeing with - especially Sara.

When they were talking about Larry David attacking Elmo and Joy said he's just felt and not real, I lol’d when Ana said Elmo could be considered a baby in Alabama.

Sunny's comments about the Alabama decision made literally no sense. The point she was trying to make might have worked with abortion (i.e. forcing more white women to have babies to counter a diversifying population), but makes no sense with IVF, which is mostly used by white women. Rather than just let it go, though, she then pivoted and tried to say it was anti-LGBT since gay couples use IVF. That just undermined her initial point even more since it's mostly white gay couples who are using IVF and having white babies. Frankly, the argument wouldn't work for abortion either since rich white women can still access the procedure and it's mostly poorer women of color who will be forced to carry babies to term, thereby increasing the minority population and not the white population. Sunny is frequently accused of making everything about race, which she always denies, but this was a pretty glaring example of exactly that.

Give Sunny a break; her month is coming to an end. You can criticize her in seven days.

R153 Exactly. That's why the other ladies were shooting her down and disagreeing with her. Even dumb Sara mentioned it was wealthy white women who could afford IVF, not minorities. Sunny made zero sense - and she caught herself too late. She then tried to say it was against 'gay people'.

I thought it was wonderful today that Woopi schooled Michigan pro-Palestinian protesters on the eve of the Michigan primary.

You don't get bitchy before a vote and demand shit, you work like hell to get Democrats elected and THEN demand shit.

This is why we have had the peaceful transfer of power. The LGBT+ community has known this for decades.

You work like hell to get your people elected, demonstrate your voter block power, and then you pull out your chair at the table.

Hey, pro-Palestinian voters in Michigan, how about going to vote in support of the candidate who actually has your back rather than the one who will have Palestinians in America pick out their Concentration Camp.

THAT SHIT WOULD HAVE ME RUNNING TO THE BOX TO VOTE FOR BIDEN.

It's a political stunt by Tlaib to get her name in the media to secure her base. She knows they ain't voting for Trump, but she hopes to become a "power broker" like Al Sharpton.

R157, good for her, but power brokers only get power AFTER their candidates are elected.

Ask James Clyburn.

Today they were discussing the 'Non committal' votes in the Michigan primary for Biden. It sounds like Sunny is on the side of Palestine, while the other four are not. Was I following along correctly ?

Are there black people in Palestine? That would be the only reason Sunny speaks up on anything.

Sunny has spoken fairly supportively of Israel in the past. I think today she was only expressing support for the "uncommitted" vote as a way to make sure that Biden was getting a message before the actual election in which it's really important that he carry Michigan.

Sunny is a pain in the ass. She has been more painful and insufferable than usual this month. One of the -Hey I'm talking here- techniques she loves to use is the one where she purposely refuses to look the others in the eyes while on one of her long-winded diatribes. This is how she pushes her points across, by refusing to see or hear anyone else at the damn table. She stares purposefully out at nowhere, then stares down at the table with her blind to the world look and attitude. I find her offensive as Hell. Guess I'll just keep hoping she will be replaced one day.

On to Ana Navarro. She is meh. Why is she so unhappy most of the time? The old husband?

Whoopi has recently lost a shit-ton of weight. Anyone else notice this? Maybe she jumped on the weight loss shots wagon. No one has said anything about how thin she has gotten. She continues to cover this up with potato sacks for clothes. Bet she walks out one day in something clingy and it blows a lot of minds. Wait and see!

Soon the entire world will be thin - or dead - can't decide. I have a feeling these shots aren't the great news everyone seems to think they are.

You are so right about Sunny. When she tries to prove she's smarter than the others, she babbles on and stares down at the center of the table - doesn't make eye contact.

I noticed when they returned in January that Whoopi was notably thinner - especially in her face and chin. They don't say anything - maybe if they discuss WW and Oprah tomorrow, she might talk about herself ? (Then again, they never mentioned how thin Oprah has become in the past 8 months).

Ana - I really can't watch her. Please get rid of her.

It was so nice to see guest Dr Jen Ashton go at it with Sunny on the IVF debate (is an embryo a baby?) and shut Sunny down. Ashton was not having it - and certainly not from Sunny.

Yeah, Ashton totally crushed it with Sunny. Sunny kept insisting all the ways an embryo could eventually turn into a baby. I was half expecting Ashton to turn to Sunny and ask if she still gets her period and if cries since that could maybe be a baby.

Ashton's take down of Sunny today was almost as good as when Ann Coulter took down Raven a few years ago (that was the best scene on 'The View' - even better than the Rosie / Hasslebeck fight).

Raven tried to school Coulter on 'being nice to people' and Coulter reminded her she was criticizing political policy, she wasn't criticizing someone's personal choice to name their kid 'Watermelonrama' like Raven did on the show a few days earlier.

And that was the end of Raven.

Dr. Ashton was peeling off all the religious mumbo jumbo that is fucking up the Republican Criminalization of the female vagina.

Go Dr. Ashton!

Joy is a much better moderator than Whoopi because she does not step in to a discussion early. She actually lets women express THEIR VIEWS.

Joy also shows interest and enthusiasm with each topic and each guest - unlike Whoopi who shows complete disinterest 90% of the time.

Here is the interview with Dr. Ashton for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Today, they talked about age differences in relationships. Whoopi said she's dated guys older than she and younger than she. "Actually, one of the last relationships I was in, he was 40 years older than me," she closed the conversation with. Joy did manage to say, 'Really ? Is he still alive ?' and Whoopi nodded yes.

So Whoopi's 68, and she has a former partner who is still alive at 108 ? WOW !

[quote] So Whoopi's 68, and she has a former partner who is still alive at 108 ? WOW !

I’m a humorist. So stop looking it up, 'cause that’s what I know is happening,

Is Stormy Daniels on drugs? She's acting very weird.

I was wondering if she’s on steroids because her face is so puffy.

She was definitely on something this morning. You can tell the hosts were really trying to do an informative interview with her, but she was all over the place like a helium balloon. I hope she's better as a witness in the trial.

Can they please replace Sara Haynes with Chelsea Clinton ? Please ? Haines offers nothing to the show. Clinton offers intelligent responses and makes great conversation.

I'd rather Chelsea replace Sunny.

Chelsea is the daughter of two Fulbright scholars and has a PhD in Political Science.

She is more positioned to replace Rachel Maddow.

I love her parents, but I really dislike Chelsea.

Today I'm distracted by whatever Ana has over her tits. Is she wearing a corset over her shirt?

You can tell Anna has also been on weight-loss injections. She has really slimmed down over the past few months.

Looks like they are on vacation this week (it began last Friday). The shows have been 'previously recorded' - probably recorded over the last two weeks.

I hate the way they always kiss Whoopi's ass. They always mention how she is an EGOT winner. They laud her film career. Whoopi hadn't had a hit film since 1992, that's the reason why she joined The View.

I've always said it must be in her contract that every guest must come out and sing her praises before the interview begins. They must recollect on working with her (even if it was for five minutes on a movie set), or it must be about what an inspiration she was to them for starting their movie /comedy career, when they were just a child in the 80s and watching her HBO special. It's really getting out of hand.

I’m pretty sure they were off on Friday and today but will be back tomorrow.

They haven't had a 'vacation' since December, when they took the last two weeks off. They're due for another - I think this week is vacation week for them after working three full months.

R185, “The View” was “live” this morning.

The View was Prerecorded today. I think they did a whole week of Prerecords for Spring Break.

Every segment was a Disney Brurb-o-mat except for the A-Block.

R188, Spring break? Classes have resumed at all colleges.

R187 No - it was pre-recorded last week. There was a disclaimer on the screen when Whoopi began the show saying the audience looked familiar (they taped the shows back to back with the same audience on those days). I'm pretty positive it's pre-recorded for the whole week while they're on vacation, as I originally said in 182.

You can tell when the show is live or pre-recorded by the announcer in the beginning. When she says "The View starts right now" - it's not live. For live shows she says, 'The View starts LIVE right now'.

This is a hell of a time for a normally “live” topical show to take an extended break, with breaking news events happening nearly every day.

Breaking news events happen every single day - no matter when they take their scheduled breaks.

I was wrong - The View is live today ! Not taking their SPRING break this week.

So they just had a long Easter weekend.

Nice.

Fire next door at a show no one watches.

Does Whoopi have a line of overalls coming out? She's worn them three days in a row.

The actor who was interviewed today almost forgot he had to do the obligatory 'Whoopi ass kissing' on the show - and finally squeezed it in at the very end of the interview. He told Whoopi how much she meant to him, and inspired him to be an actor. Someone behind the scenes must've whispered into his ear-piece "You gotta kiss Whoopi's ass ! You have less than 30 seconds!"

It seemed like Whoopi Is expecting the obligatory ass kiss from whites, now. Good for her.

Candace Cameron Buree is selling her faith based Jesus movie of the week.

Does Jesus really prefer white people?

I'm glad Whoopi wasn't there, because Candace would have had to tell her she was the inspiration to be an actress, once she saw her in 'The Color Purple'.

I’ve watched The View with varying degrees of regularity over the years but the only time I tuned out completely was during the Raven and Candace years. I literally couldn’t possibly care less about the opinions of two washed up former child stars, particularly when one of them is a fundie nutjob.

“The View” is blacked out in Massachusetts and New Hampshire today due to the Boston Marathon wall to wall coverage.

You missed nothing. They started off with Trump's trial, and Whoopi didn't say a word - sat there with her chin in her hand and rolled her eyes a few times. Then moved on to Gov Sununu saying he will support Trump - same thing, with Whoopi not contributing. Then they brought out George Lopez and his daughter, and I turned it off.

Really? According to news reports, Whoopi went on a major rant abou Sununu and even refused to stop talking when they started playing the music.

That wasn't a major rant. She closed the segment by saying a few things, and as always - when she decided to speak they were getting ready to go to commercial and the music was playing (she does that all the time). But while the others were discussing Sununu, she sat there and rolled her eyes, turned to the audience and rolled her eyes, etc. She couldn't have been more disinterested.

I don’t recall “The View” being so segment time restricted years ago, or maybe the breaks were more smoothly executed.

I enjoyed the Sunday morning interview with Stephanopoulos and Sununu.

It was like watching a tennis match.

Here it is.

More talking about race today. ZZZZZZ. I guess Sunny has to have something to do. But they will never again book anyone who humiliates her and makes her look like a total fool as Coleman Hughes did.

r209, EVERYTHING in politics regarding Trump is based in racism.

Coleman Hughes was priceless.

When did Asunción Cummings Hostin last practice law?

Oh good - they had a cast reunion of the sitcom "A Different World" (1987-93) and everyone got a chance to kiss Whoopi's ass (thanks to Sara Haines for mentioning WG was once a guest star). Some of those cast members aged terribly (especially Jasmine Guy).

I know Sunny has talked about being forced to change her name for TV and how proud she is of her actual first name but...Asunción is a terrible name. I don't know anyone could have ever gone as many years as she did without getting some kind of nickname.

R214, Yet, Sunny repeatedly chastised Nikki Haley for not going by her birth name.

My sister Nancy is an Anunciata. Her nickname is Nunz, rhymes with stroonz.

R216, Thankfully, not Coonz.

R215 And Anna called her out on that, which Sunny didn't like. At all.

Ana's a name-dropping cunt with an ego bigger than her former weight. And I'm tired of her talking about "my gays." Kindly fuck off.

R219, Ana’s prepared zingers are less funny than Joy’s and that’s pretty bad.

R220, they must have spoken to her because she used to waste so much time building up to the punchline, it ate into the segment.

I also don't care for the way she tries to moderate the show. Watch her when she's back on Friday and see if she tries to override Joy's moderation.

I know she lives in Fl but I feel they did not add her as the fifth co-host because she's all ego and it affects the balance of the panel. I think she would have jumped at the offer.

I'm sick of Anna talking about 'my drag queens'. If they need a representative on the show, I'd rather it was anyone else but her. I really can't stomach her. But I do love when she gets under Sunny's skin, and reminds Sunny she's a Latina, too.

Sunny's barely a Latina. Didn't her genealogy reveal on Finding Your Roots say she was only 7% Puerto Rican?

For someone like Sunny who makes her race and ethnicity her entire identity, I'm surprised it hasn't sent her over the edge. Well, more over the edge.

The animosity between Ana and Meghan was fun to observe.

Sunny only refers to her Latin heritage when it benefits her argument. Otherwise, she is black 24/7.

Don’t forget Sunny is also part Jewish, which she also mentions when it’s convenient.

It was actually Sara who called Sunny out on also using a nickname when Sunny was criticizing Nikki Haley. Sunny responded by saying she did that because people couldn’t pronounce her full name due to a “lack of education” in this country. As if schools should be teaching kids how to pronounce foreign names? And Nikki Haley didn’t face the same issues with Nimrata?

Who dressed Sunny in that astronaut costume today ?

And wasn't it priceless when Sunny was encouraging everyone to go see the revival of 'The Wiz' and Joy shot her down, saying tickets were too expensive along with all the other added expenses to go to the theater ?

Star Jones’ birth name was Starlet.

Rosie O'Donnell's real name is Roseann.

Joy Behar's real name is Josefina.

Whoopi's real name is Caryn.

R228, Whoopi and Joy went on full bitch rant about the cost of traveling from NJ and on and on. They completely undermined Sunny's attempt to promote the show. At least I got a laugh out of it.

I think the whole nicknames thing came about with Republicans going out of their way to say

Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

The same reason Gentleman Joe uses the full Joseph Robinette Biden.

There are lots of reasons Dimrata shunned her name and went with the stage name.

But I believe none of them have used aliases like, "John Barron" (or "John Baron"), "John Miller" and "David Dennison". All used FRAUDULENTLY.

It's no surprise that Sunny raved about the revival of 'The Wiz', despite it got very mixed reviews from critics this morning.

They're on vacation this week - just as the Trump trial gets going. Talk about bad timing.

Did they take off a Spring Break week, and is this week a vacay catchup?

This is their Spring break week.

Sunny Hostin: Every criticism of Kamala Harris is rooted in racism and sexism.

Also Sunny Hostin: These college protests have nothing to do with anti-semitism.

Sunny is so tiresome and predictable. She could be vacant from the show while they run an audio loop of her saying the words BLACK, HISPANIC, PUERTO RICAN, DISCRIMINATION, WHITES ARE RACIST. You wouldn't even know she was missing from the table.

Is emotional instability an Ozempic side-effect? Whoopi can't seem to get through a show without crying. Get it together, gal and squint read that teleprompter!

[quote]It's no surprise that Sunny raved about the revival of 'The Wiz', despite it got very mixed reviews from critics this morning.

Choreography worthy of a high school production.

Yesterday, Whoopi took the 'guest' spot to promote her new memoir "Bits and Pieces" (let's hope it's better than her last memoir, titled "Book" from the early 1990s). Of course, they all praised Whoopi and her 'vulnerability' and how 'open' she was. Then they all kissed her ass (a requirement in their contracts, obviously) of how she opened doors and deserved the Oscar she won.

The only thing Sara forgot to say was, "I'm hearing Pulitzer Prize buzz for this memoir of yours..."

R241, Whoopi is also the reader on the Audiobook version.

They could barely bother to cover the protests this week, but made sure to give an inordinate amount of time to covering Whoopi Goldberg's new book?

And this is supposed to be a news show?

This Brian producer needs to be fired, he has always screamed incompetent. Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie never would have allowed this.

Covering the protests is worthless to Democrats.

These old broads know what they are doing.

This Brian producer is Jewish. He knows it is all a diversion.

Sorry troll, go troll elsewhere.

And Whoopi's story is both timely and poignant.

Please go fuck...

[quote]Covering the protests is worthless to Democrats.

AKA it makes Biden look bad.

[quote]And Whoopi's story is both timely and poignant.

It's not NEWS dear. There are plenty of outlets for hasbeen actresses to hawk their shit.

Reading is fundamental.

R243 This isn't supposed to be a news show. It's a talk show, where each hostess gives her 'view'.

They did cover the protests when the started their live shows again this past Monday. They had a very long discussion on the topic.

[quote]This isn't supposed to be a news show.

The View is listed on the ABC website under ABC news. It was revamped as an ABC news show back in 2014.

Yes, they covered it Monday, but since then has been the Columbia standoff and Biden's address.

The BLM protests were given coverage every day for weeks back in 2020.

"The VIew" was moved under the umbrella of 'ABC NEWS' but it has never been 'revamped' as a news show. For further proof, look at what they have been nominated for in this year's daytime Emmys.

BTW, Biden's press conference on the protests at the college campuses happened live while the show was broadcasting live. How in the world were they supposed to watch his press conference and comment on it while broadcasting a live show at the same time ?

The View has been a news/ political show since Rosie O Donnell came on board in the mid 2000's. It's a go to place for just about every politician with the exception of the orange fuhrer. Political discussion are at the forefront of every Hot Topics segment.

They covered the Black Lives Matter protests back in 2020 for months on end. They gave it at least 10-15 minutes of coverage everyday in addition to interviewing activists, celebrities related to the issue. Almost everyday Sunny was addressing the need for a Black Woman to be Biden's VP.

I just find it interesting that they've barely touched on this conflict in the last few months, despite it being one of the big stories in the news. If they've done five stories on it since January, I will be shocked.

I think the show has talked about the protests plenty, there just isn't that much to say about them. Biden's press conference today happened while the show was airing. It was mentioned on the podcast after the show and I'm sure it'll get mentioned on the air tomorrow.

Also, FWIW Brian Teta is Italian, not Jewish.

If the story involves black or brown people as the bad guys, you won't see it being discussed on The View. Remember a few years ago when that felon drove his SUV through a parade route in Wisconsin? He killed a few grandmas and a small child. He's black, the victims were white.

It was a huge story garnering national attention, so they felt they had to address it the next day. They had Whoopi say the all too familiar "This is a fast-moving story so when we have more facts, we'll discuss it tomorrow." Except tomorrow never comes.

r251, in a world of "Fair and Balanced" reporting, NOT reporting some stories is perfectly acceptable.

No, R252. They've used that phrase on more than one occasion. It's pressure to acknowledge the event without having to discuss their views on said event.

I've been watching this show since its inception. I tuned out during Rosie Perez (I love boxing!), Jennie McCarthy (vapid) and the idiot twins Candace and Raven eras. Let's just say at this point, Barbara and Bill are rolling in their graves.

[quote]The View has been a news/ political show since Rosie O Donnell came on board in the mid 2000's.

'The View' has covered news and political topics, but it is not a news show. 'The View' has covered many topics on sex and relationships, but it is not a 'sex therapy' show. 'The View' has had many chefs over the years and 'cooking demos' but it is not a cooking show. 'The View' has had many singers and comedians on the show, but it it not a 'variety show'.

r254, So The View is like Fox?

R254, they've been a part of the ABC News division since 2014.

R256 We heard you the first time at R247

That's not me at R247. Thiis thread is seriously lacking in personality and humor.

Whoopi pronounced Jen Psaki's name correctly!

[quote]Thiis thread is seriously lacking in personality and humor.

Are you a Concern Troll?

No, R260, I'm a bored reader.

Whoopi is blind. Sunny's a racist cunt. Joy is a cranky liberal. Alyssa is sane. Sara is the calm presence that keeps this panel from lunging at each other on a daily basis. The also-ran, Ana, has an ego the size of her former dress size.

Have a lovely day and take a little time to enjoy the view,

Then you missed a great show with Jen Psaki today.

She is doing the after show with Alyssa.

Wacky Jen Psaki . . .

Jen is not wacky, she is current and cogent.

She is a delight to watch as she goads the ladies of The View into thinking they are on her level.

She and Rachel are amazing.

R262, I didn't say I was a bored viewer, I said I was a bored reader meaning this thread is boring.

As for Jen, she's just a fast talker with years of prepared deflectors for any and all questions. She pretty much said nothing today. Maybe yes, maybe no, time will tell. In other words, NOTHING.

R264 is too easily impressed so maybe R264 is the one who's being manipulated.

Sunny said today that she doesn't like jokes when it's at someone else's expense (they were discussing the jokes last night aimed at Tom Brady's ex, Giselle).

Let's see - how many times has Sunny laughed at Joy's jokes about Trump, Melania, Ivanka, Eric, Donny Jr., etc ? Or does Sunny not realize Joy's jokes are at 'someone else's expense' ?

R265, R264 has the mind of a six year old.

Goldberg an Psaki are both releasing books tomorrow. Who will get the most sales?

I wonder if anybody gave Ricky Martin a heads up about the foot fetish question? He looked a little surprised when Joy brought it up, but kinda rolled with it.

Sunny, who declared on Monday she doesn't find humor at someone else's expense, made sure to make jokes about RFK Jr's 'brain worm' and laugh at him.

r270, true, but...brain worm...

R269, He brought it up on Andy Cohen’s WWHL.

I rolled my eyes at Sunny talking about how RFK’s brain worm made her question his mental acuity. You know if it was Biden with a brain worm she’d be the first one spewing outrage at any suggestion it had the slightest impact on his fitness.

R267, R264 and R265 are two different posters. If you're going to insult someone, please do your homework.

Sunny’s a self absorbed phony.

Did they talk about Hochuls recent comments? You know if it was a Republican she’d be screaming racism.

Thanks r276.

.

r264

eek, r274...

.

r264

I’ve finished listening to the Audiobook version of the new Barbara Walters biography.

There’s nothing revelatory, all I learned was that her father Lou Walters had a glass eye,

I don't know why the author / publisher thought the world needed a new Walters biography when Walters released her own extensive (and informative) memoir in 2008. What's left to talk about ? Her dementia and death in her 90s ?

Bearking: Sunny interviews a WHITE MAN!!!!

Whoopi’s next one woman show at the Joe’s Pub will be as the brain worm of RFK Jr.

R280 Did she accuse him of being a racist ? Asking for my friend Alyssa.

Why do they have to read a 'legal note' that Trump says he's innocent of all charges every time they cover one of his criminal cases ? No other show is doing this or has done this . Why do they feel they need to 'protect the show' by doing such ?

I was just wondering the same thing R283. I was listening to the podcast today and they did the legal note there too. I’ve listened to plenty of podcasts discussing Trump and none of them do a disclaimer. I can only imagine that The View got sued at some point and is now overly careful with this kind of thing.

During the Megan years, Joy Behar got into big trouble when she called Clinton’s accusers whores during one show. Gloria Allred was the attorney of one of them and I believe threatened ABC with a major slander and defamation of character lawsuit if there wasn’t an apology. Joy had to give a lengthy apology and even distanced the network from her words the following day.

R285 I remember that, but what does that have to do with Trump's situation ? Plus the fact that every show on television discussing the Trump cases have never issued a legal note.

Maybe because they're giving opinions and calling Trump out on his bullshit, which is something CNN or MSNBC can't really do?

Point r287.

Sunny has much more faith in Zoomers than anyone else on the show. As a matter of fact, than anyone else at all.

R289, she's only backing them because they're protesting against the Jews. She's one of those people who think they're the smartest one in the room yet she's so damn transparent with her faux concern.

I did enjoy her tripping over her too oft used "twice impeached, blah, blah, blah..." intro of Trump today.

I figured she has faith in Zoomers because her two perfect kids are Zoomers, and we all know how smart, charitable, and selfless they are.

R 291, Gabriel is perfect in her eyes. Paloma is a constant painful reminder of her original nose.

Today was actually a really good show. Good topics and two good guests. And no View Your Deal.

Is the disclaimer really that hard to understand? The trial is going on.

Yes the trial is ongoing. Which makes the fact that they feel the need to keep reminding us that Trump has denied all allegations (literally the entire reason there is a trial) makes no sense. The show falls under ABC News. No one else who reports on Trump interjects these kinds of disclaimers during every report.

In her recap of yesterday’s trial proceedings, Attorney Hostin failed to mention that it’s illegal to record someone without their permission.

Depends on the state r296.

R296, NYS is a one-party consent state.

I muted DeNiro when he started in on his Trump rant. It's not even about political party for me, it's the fact I don't give a flying fuck what celebrities think about politics.

Remember when this show used to do celebrity interviews and they spoke only of the film they were promoting, or about their families? I still remember when the co-hosts would talk about personal matters and share stories about growing up, their parents, their marriages, their kids. Now it's the same old crap every day. Whoopi = bored. Joy = toe the line liberal no matter what. Hey Joy, Biden is old and so are you. Sara = the peacekeeper. Sunny = OCD racist. Add in Tourette's and it may actually be humorous to watch. Alyssa = new kid who smiles a lot and laughs nervously when she gives her view. SSDD.

You didn't have to mute DeNiro. Most of his comments about Trump were censored so nobody heard them.

[quote]Remember when this show used to do celebrity interviews and they spoke only of the film they were promoting, or about their families? I still remember when the co-hosts would talk about personal matters and share stories about growing up, their parents, their marriages, their kids.

Yes, I remember those days. It was boring as hell and the ratings were in the toilet. Lucky for us, those days are gone.

The ratings were not in the toilet. Quit making shit up. The show had higher ratings when Walters was on the panel.

You think the show is not boring in its present format? They all phone it in and there seems to be more prep for hair/makeup and wardrobe than for Hot Topics. Every day it's, Trump, Trump, Trump, celebrity guest who feels compelled to enlighten us with their political views, Reddit, View Your Deal. WASH. RINSE. REPEAT.

Did they even cover politics before Rosie?

Yes, r302, but not quite as much. Obviously there's more going on right now.

The ratings were in the toilet during the two years or so after Joy and Elisabeth were let go and the show decided to focus on pop culture and motherhood instead of current events and politics. That’s when Candace Cameron and Raven were brought in. And the show was terrible.

R304 would you please link to historical ratings so we can compare the ratings during the timeframes mentioned in your post.

I didn't care for Jenny McCarthy, Rosie Perez, Candace and Raven. MM was the absolute worst. For me, it had more to do with the chemistry of the co-hosts and their individual personalities. I found it interesting when they discussed topics other than "you know who" Grow up, Whoopi, you're part of the ABC News division so say his damn name.

Does it matter r305? All regular tv ratings were higher then. They might not be hitting those highs but they win the daytime ratings war.

And you are as capable as anyone to look it up.

R298, Alyssa has been there for nearly two years and she’s still nervous as hell to express her views.

At least Meghan McCain didn’t give a shit what the others thought about what she said.

I like Alyssa a lot. In fact, I think she's probably the best on the panel in terms of juggling politics and pop culture topics. I don't really understand why she's a Republican, though. She believes in some access to abortion, sensible gun laws, and LGBT rights. The Republican of the last 30 years has only existed so it can destroy all of those things.

R308, Alyssa is terrified of Sunny and Sunny is aware of that and takes advantage of Alyssa’s timidity.

Everyone is terrified of Sunny!

Sunny is SCARY

R306, I assumed you could back up your assertions with actual proof. Silly me.

From April 2017:

[quote]The ratings were not in the toilet. Quit making shit up. The show had higher ratings when Walters was on the panel.

Yes, they were in the toilet. Stop trying to rewrite history.

Viewers were tired of Star Jones and were tuning out in droves. Walters knew they had to do something - audiences didn't like that she was lying to them about her weight loss, and was sick to death of listening to her plug her upcoming wedding. That's when Walters decided to let her go - or the show would be canceled due to low ratings. She fired her and brought in Rosie (Sept 2006) and ratings took off like a rocket. If you need the details, read Walters' 2008 memoir 'Audition' - she explains it all in there.

But DL was so amused with JumboStarJones.

We were too busy poking fun at her and Big Gay Al we never would have noticed ratings, demos, etc.

And later when Star lost weight Rosie O'nasty said Star poops soup!

No, viewers tuned in to watch Star plan her wedding. Not for tips but to watch bridezilla in action. Ratings were up during that time. The AP article, which by the way, the headline should read COME BACK not COMEBACK, is from 2017. Star left in 2006. Again, no one posts historical data, so I'll just take your word for it. Sure thing.

[quote] Again, no one posts historical data, so I'll just take your word for it. Sure thing.

As I said in my post, read Walters' memoir from 2008. She explains everything in there. I'm not going to do your homework for you.

And as I said, the show dipped in ratings from around 2013 to 2016 when they tried to make it less political. The 2017 article is about the show's comeback in the ratings after returning to political topics that season.

As if knowing the reason means there's an acceptable one. Eh, all those people were infected with a virus so we had to! Genocide is never ok.

[quote]And as I said, the show dipped in ratings from around 2013 to 2016 when they tried to make it less political.

I don't disagree with this at all. They made a big mistake trying to go after 'The Talk' format for that season (2012-13), and the ratings took a hit. So they cleaned house after that season, and brought in Nicolle Wallace and Rosie O'Donnell for the following season (2014-15) and ratings skyrocketed once again. As Rosie said before the premiere for the season - 'We're not going to be talking about real housewives' on the show this season. It's too bad she couldn't stay past February. Bringing in Raven and Candace and Michelle Collins was a huge mistake to finish off the season and the following season.

I have watched The View regularly since its premiered and the 2013-14 season with Babs, Whoppi, Sherri & Jenny McCarthy was without question the low point of the entire run. It was so bad they did the complete revamp the season after with only Whoppi returning. Jenny is also my pick for worst co-host ever (at least Star & Elisabeth & Meghan were fun to hate-watch at times).

Today is the last live Friday show of the season. After this, they pre-tape on Thursdays for the summer.

R322, So nearly 82 year old Joy can get her beauty sleep?

She’s becoming noticeably forgetful lately.

I ONLY watch the View for Whoopi!

R324 = Frank Langella

R320, Michelle Collins was a co-host during the 2015 season, the same year Joy returned the shoe. I don't think Joy enjoyed the competition and wanted to be the only comedienne on the panel. As I remember it, Joy was noticeably cold to Michelle during Hot Topics and shortly thereafter, Michelle was gone. I think she lasted one season.

I know she made some rude jokes which supposedly got her fired but compared to other scandals over the years, hers seemed minor in comparison.

Joy is a comedienne like Pia Zadora is an actress.

Joy got along fine with Rosie, Whoopi, and Sherri. She also gets along fine with Ana who clearly thinks she's a comedian.

Joy Behar(81) and Andrea Mitchell(77) both need to go home.

Joy Behar shows that the 80s are the new 50s.

R330, Between the Botox injections and the pounds of makeup they slap on her face everyday, Joy looks like a Geisha.

R326 Collins was horrible as a host. She was signed on in the summer of 2015, for the 2015-16 season. From September - December, ratings tanked. When they returned from Christmas break, Collins was scheduled for just one or two days per week. At the end of the season, ABC announced she was fired - but never gave her a 'farewell' like other hosts.

R332, here's a video (audio) of a podcast just released on Youtube. I didn't realize this has been in the news for the past few days. There is also an EW article about the supposed feud. Timely, lol.

Just my personal observations but I always felt Joy did not care for Michelle and treated her as the competition.

I forgot to post the video. Here it is.

The other day, Whoopi addressed rumors that she was leaving the show (again). She assured everyone she still had a few more years on her contract and she wasn't going anywhere. IIRC, Sunny, Alyssa, Anna, and Sarah have contracts expiring this season. They must be in negotiations by now.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The above post shows Whoopi during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show saying she would not be back on The View. I got my hopes up and once again they were dashed. Looks to be around 2016 - 17.

I think Whoopi will be there at least another 3 years so she can say she hosted for 20 years.

R338, Hasn’t Whoopi had a couple of serious health issues in recent years?

Whoopi had double-pneumonia in late 2019 which kept her off the show for about six weeks, then she had a dangerous bout of COVID around a year later (IIRC).

Whoopi also had sepsis which should have done her in, yet she's still here.

. . .

Whoopi sat for an interview with her friend (and former cohost) Nicolle Wallace.

R343, Nicolle practically got down on her knees and performed cunnilingus on Whoopi during that interview.

r344, good for them.

R344 I'm sure it was in the agreement that if Whoopi sat for an interview with Wallace, Wallace would have to kiss her ass like the guests on 'The View' do. Otherwise, no Whoopi interview.

Sunny tried to take on Bill Maher and failed pretty miserably. It’s also obvious that she’s totally pro-Palestinian and just too afraid to say so.

Maher crushed Sunny and I loved every second of it. She was out of her league, once again. Whoopi wisely stayed quiet for most of the interview - she knew she couldn't compete.

They know that Maher has two speeds, moderate asshole and hair on fire asshole.

Was his book published by a Disney affiliate?

R349, I’ve never seen a book where 80% of the cover is the author’s face.

R350, I laughed out loud when the audience was told they’d each be getting a copy of Maher’s book and as the camera panned the audience there were those looking glum and not applauding.

I have to wonder how many refuse the authors’ books.

R348, Whoopi’s introduction of Maher seemed indifferent, like he had been booked under her objection.

No hugs or kisses from Maher as he entered.

It seemed like a forced Blurb-o-mate.

Here's the interview

R352 A couple of years ago they had a 'rumble' (in lack of a better word). Whoopi and Sunny called him out on the show for something he said on his show (I think it was the over-use of the word 'woke', IIRC ). Maher responded on his show with shade against the two. Then Whoopi got in trouble for saying the Holocaust was not about race, and Maher shaded her on that (though he clearly said she never should have been suspended from the show for two weeks). Since then, every now and then a comment will be made about something Maher said on his show which they don't agree with (Joy always sticks up for him).

This is why Alyssa, Joy, and Sarah were so welcoming to him, while Sunny and Whoopi were cool towards him. Plus, I'm sure Sunny didn't want to face embarrassment on her own show if he had to keep correcting her.

Whoopi defends every celebrity who ever lived…until they don’t defend her…then she cuts ties.

You could tell Sunny knew she was treading on shaky ground by taking on Maher. Compare the way she challenged Tim Scott or Coleman Hughes (the black author who wrote a book critical of DEI) vs how she glad handed Maher.

I can't believe no one on today's panel challenged Charlamagne tha God for saying "both candidates are trash." No way Joy or Ana would have let him get away with that had they been there. And his arguments for why he's clearly voting for Biden but refusing to endorse him made no fucking sense.

Both candidates ARE trash.

Aside from being too old, in what way is Biden trash?

Whoopi seems to be more involved in the conversation lately. I think she assumes it will help sell her book but it's a bit OTT. She sounded as if she was doing a stand-up bit during the first segment.

As for Whoopi, Maher and CtG, who the hell do they think they are? They're comedians and a DJ turned talk show hosts who seem to think they are experts in politics, world affairs and everything under the sun. At least CtG talked about trusting the experts and seems to be the least arrogant of the three, yet he does exactly what he accuses the media of doing. Their egos have overtaken their ability to know their limitations .

R361, What about those who worship at the altar of Joe Rogan?

I agree, R362. My post wasn't meant to be political. I think both sides have jumped the shark (thanks Fonzie.) I suppose everything became multiplied and magnified with the onslaught of cable news networks, then the internet, social media and on and on. The charlatans found a new outlet to sell their snake oil and the also-rans became talk show gods like Whoopi and Maher.

It has always bothered me the way Maher postures himself up as some sort of final word on everything. He was a C-List comedian who was given a talk show, said ridiculously outrageous shit, like his 911 comments, to gain traction and now he's perceived as some sort of political expert. He's not.

Found this gem from 1983.

Bill Maher was Steve Allen’s announcer.

Bill makes an appearance at 2:20.

Maher said we shouldn't hate Trump supporters. So I guess we should embrace those who will vote to destroy our Democracy? Fuck Bill Maher.

R364, he tried to take over the segment with his schtick. Steve Allen was gracious, but the seasoned pro politely put Maher in his place.

[quote] now he's perceived as some sort of political expert. He's not.

No, he's not. But I don't think he claims to be either. He's mostly just calling it as he sees it and isn't afraid to say what he actually thinks as opposed to parroting a party line. I noticed when he said that Biden and Trump are roughly the same age but that Biden just *seems* older, there wasn't much pushback from the panel. Because it's true. He also said the left's obsession with wokeness has turned off a lot of people. Sunny tried to come at him by saying that "woke" meant socially conscious, etc. but he correctly pointed out that the word has since taken on a different connotation. Sunny couldn't really push back on that because it's also true. But you'll never hear either these kinds of obvious facts being stated by the left leaning members of The View because they don't align with the left's narrative that Biden isn't noticeably elderly or that wokeness isn't the best thing ever. FFS, Sunny wouldn't even admit that "defund the police" was well intentioned but terrible as an actual slogan.

Not a political expert. Just another Limbaugh replacement.

[quote]Sunny wouldn't even admit that "defund the police" was well intentioned but terrible as an actual slogan.

Even Al Sharpton (on Morning Joe) has acknowledged the slogan is awful and that the people who came up with it are "latte liberals."

What a difference a day makes ! Whoopi and Sunny were so much more welcoming and interested in Charlamagne tha God than they were with Bill Maher yesterday. I wonder why ?

I could not watch Big Charles as he was bobbing and weaving about not endorsing Biden because of all the Kiss My Black Ass lazy men who comprise his viewership.

Charlamagne's reasons for not endorsing made no sense. You admit you don't want Trump but can't even encourage people to vote for the other guy to help make sure that doesn't happen? Go fuck yourself.

R367, we'll just have to disagree on the subject of Maher thinking he's the end-all be-all when it comes to political discourse. From what I've observed he's been that way for years. I don't disagree with some of his positions, I just dislike the way he states his opinion and expects everyone to fall in line.

I recall an appearance on Wolf Blitzer's show when Obama was running. Maher actually said we want our guy to win meaning Obama. Wolf didn't respond because he was trying to be an actual journalist and remain objective and neutral. Maher was being arrogant, as usual, and should have known better than to mention private conversations about the candidates on the air.

I completely agree with your other points about The View co-hosts.

[quote]...subject of Maher thinking he's the end-all be-all ...

Please use the phrase correctly - it's constantly used incorrectly. But, I agree with your observation:

[quote]...that but this blow

[quote]Might be the be-all and the end-all—here,

[quote]But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,

[quote]We'd jump the life to come.

Did anyone see the large mole? lesion? on Jessica Lange's arm? Is it a huge birthmark they've always covered up when she filming? What is it???

Looked like a tattoo to me, R375.

It is a tattoo. It looks like a cancerous lesion.

As Orson Bean's wife number two once said: She was thinking about getting a rose tattoo on her breast but didn't want it turning into a long-stemmed rose as she aged.

R377, All the ones with sleeve tattoos will regret them when their upper arms begin to sag like beanbags as they age.

Yes, R378 and the colors fade. Not an attractive look.

Tomorrow's a repeat. I suppose they'll return on Tuesday.

. . .

Today, Sunny pushed her new book 'The Highlands'. Sara gushed all over it, telling her the 'praise' she got for this - her third sex novel.

I wish Sara read the real reviews of the book and Sunny's past books. The ones which say she's a horrible writer, her books lack any entertainment, poor character development, and it's smut. I would have loved for Sunny to be confronted with the truth.

And if ass-kissing Sunny wasn't enough, the panel then had to ass-kiss Whoopi for her small role in the upcoming movie 'Ezra'. Bad enough they had on Robert DeNiro on the show a few weeks ago (and the annoying kid who plays Ezra was in the audience, and stole the interview) but today they had the rest of the cast at the table )Bobby Carnevale, who looks like a homeless man; Rose Byrne; Tony Goldwyn) and the annoying kid once again. They all puckered up to Whoopi's ass.

Sara went on and on about how great the movie is - similar to what she did about the movie "Till" a couple of years ago (and we all know how that turned out). I was waiting for her to give it the kiss of death by feigning, "I'm already hearing Oscar buzz" - but she held her tongue. I think this film will have the same fate as 'Till' - and after this week, we will never hear another word uttered again about it.

R382, Meanwhile, DeNiro was at the courthouse battling with Trump supporters.

R383, why can't his caretaker keep him the hell away from the cameras? Actors and their over-inflated egos. He'll do more harm than good by showing up at the courthouse telling people what to think.

I hear the same shit from Joy and Sunny every damn day about Trump, telling us, in their most put-on concern troll voices, not to vote for him, blah, blah, blah. We get it, he's evil but you're not going to change anyone's mind. People will vote for whom they want. The constant badgering with the same repetitive warnings just falls on deaf ears. Move the fuck on.

[quote] People will vote for whom they want. The constant badgering with the same repetitive warnings just falls on deaf ears. Move the fuck on.

Sometimes, people need to hear it one more time. Others need to hear it repeatedly. Let them keep talking (and warning viewers) - it can't hurt.

R385, they're preaching to the choir. If conservatives are tuning in, they're tuning out as soon as they start with the tiresome "twice impeached..." or Joy's" Biden isn't old!!!" Yeah, he is Joy and so are you. Then we have Whoopi with the juvenile "you know who" Grow the fuck up. They're beyond ridiculous at this point and in desperate need of new material. SSDD.

I hope “Ezra” tanks.

I don’t care if that kid is autistic, he’s annoying as shit.

"Existential" and "existential crisis" seem to be the word and phrase the Dems were told to use - every damn chance they get. I dare them to shoehorn it in during View Your Deal segments.

Arrogant, lives in a progressive NYC bubble, Joy is telling Sara people want to hear celebs like DeNiro talk politics. No, they don't. Listen to Sara, she's trying to tell you people in other parts of the country turn off when these celebs start spouting off. Joy is too damn emotional and hysterical when discussing Trump.

Jill Biden? Okay. Grisham. No Nicole Brown sisters. Will probably do a pre-tape scheduled for a later air date.

The only thing I learned today is First Lady "trumps" dead sister.

[quote]The only thing I learned today is First Lady "trumps" dead sister.

Maryanne Trump Barry?

She was a piece of work.

Nicole Brown Simpson. Her sisters were scheduled but were bumped for the FL. I guess they'll pre-tape the segment and show it at a later date.

Yes, a tax-evading judge in the Trump family. Who da thunk it? Well, I would.

Jill Biden actually said on “The View” that Joe’s age is not an issue in the campaign.

LOL . . .

I know I've been spoiled by past Dem first ladies Hillary and Michelle, but I just find Jill Biden so...mid.

At least she can speak English, R392. The bar wasn't that high.

And all of Jill's degrees are vetted.

Unlike Vairst Leddy s PhD in Koorvaology and MAs in Animal Husbandry and Prostate Massage.

R394, And yet, the best she can do is teach at a community college?

R395, it's the job not the status. Don't you think she could be a Harvard President?

I cannot look at Jill Biden without remembering that Hunter called her an “entitled cunt” in one of his infamous eMails to Hallie Biden.

When the Stormy Daniels news broke, Melania needed to lick her wounds, so she took AF2 to Mar-a-Lago and treated herself (on our dime) to a day at the spa. It cost taxpayers minimum $500,000. She was a vapid and illiterate FL.

Does anyone feel as I do that Sunny has a ghostwriter?

400!

Of course, they all defended DeNiro’s embarrassing courthouse appearance yesterday.

As David Axelrod said on CNN, the last thing the Biden campaign needed was an angry octogenarian ranting in public.

I would have paid any amount of money if Jill was asked if Joe was hung as well as Hunter.

R395 No, the best she can do is bring honor and respect back to the title of 'First Lady'.

I'm really surprised that Jill Biden didn't kiss Whoopi's ass and tell Whoopi her Oscar winning performance in 'Ghost' inspired her to be the First Lady.

Who knew?

Maybe someday, R403, but I seriously doubt it.

Sunny must be butt-hurt that Oprah has never ever picked any of her books (including her memoir) for her Book Club. Here she is writing about Historical Black Beach Communities and Oprah doesn't care.

Oprah and I have that in common.

Double barrel Sunny today.

She’s on Kelly and Mark this morning to push her tawdry book.

I wonder how long it will take Sunny to point out to Kelly Ripa she got as far as she has because of 'white privilege' ?

[quote]Does anyone feel as I do that Sunny has a ghostwriter?

No, she doesn't need a ghostwriter when it's about her favorite topic - being black.

Her writing is so bad (as pointed out by so many critics and reviewers) that it can't be a ghost writer.

Will Sunny do the high fiving with the K&M audience as she enters?

It’s amusing to see which guests will and will not do it.

Jill’s appearance on Wednesday reeked of desperation.

God, Sunny is so fucking tedious. Polls show African American voters are turning from Biden and she goes on a rant about how Black voters are still overwhelmingly supporting him. That’s not the point, bitch. You literally had Charlemagne tha God on last week who refused to endorse Biden, but sure just keep trumpeting black support of Biden as it continues to lag. Meanwhile, you know who isn’t turning their backs on Biden? College educated white people. But I guarantee you’ll never hear her refer to them as the backbone of the Democratic Party.

Then there’s her constant ranting about how players in the WNBA make less than players in the NBA. The NBA generates about $10 billion in revenue every year. The WNBA generates $200 million. Maybe that’s the reason for the discrepancy? Even Brittney Griner when asked about what would help improve WNBA salaries was like “we need more people to watch.” Duh.

Sunny is the Eboni K. Williams of the show - constant lecturing about being black. Tiring.

The most magnificent Jasmine Crockett is an attorney. Put her next to Marsha Blackburn and her Home Economics BA, and you get my gist. We have a war between solid Democratic attorneys elected to public service and lame ass business degreed frauds who think they can BUY attorneys. MTG with her degree in business from Podunk U is equally embarrassing.

Sunny threw out all these statistics on Black voters and how they're supporting Biden. However, she never gave her source of where these statistics / polls came from.

R418, from her ass. Excuse my crudeness.

They'll be live tomorrow.

I'm not sure I want to watch tomorrow. Joy will be fine, but Sunny is going to be insufferable. Ana will try (and fail) at landing a few jokes.

Joy will be snarky and smiling, Sunny will emphasize the fact that Bragg is black, Ana will babble on, Alyssa will be the one with a good take, and Sara will not be allowed to speak more than 30 seconds.

I pray that Ty Cobb is prescient when he says that this will affect Trump's health and that he is not a healthy man. Hopefully, he goes fully psychotic permanently.

R420, I feel the same way. I'm glad justice has been served but the gloating is always so OTT.

We should do a variation of "What was on his iPod" with what song will play when they walk out tomorrow.

Joy's Pick:

I wonder if Whoopi will join them tomorrow ?

BTW, I thought Fridays were pre-taped starting this week ? We may have to wait until Monday ?

The show won't be live tomorrow. It was already pre-taped. The guests are the sisters of Nicole Brown Simpson.

It's live tomorrow with ALL SIX co-hosts. You think they're going to miss the moment they've been wishing for all these years?

They could save the pre-taped show for next Friday. I will be shocked if they don't do a live broadcast on such a historical day.

However - they may be preempted if ABC decides to carry the 'press conference' Trump has planned at 11 am tomorrow.

R426 here. This is the tweet or whatever the hell they put out: @TheView: TOMORROW: All six of #TheView co-hosts will join the Hot Topics table LIVE to discuss former Pres. Trump being found guilty in his criminal hush money trial.

Joy "leaked" when she heard the news.

The segment was more of an excuse to have 5 min commercial breaks.

I was partially listening during the Nicole Brown segment, but I did hear Sunny talking about the OJ trial and mentioning racism. What was she talking about?

Whoopi finally said his name then forgot how to properly pronounce the word criminal. Her little pot-addled brain can do but so much at this point in time.

[quote] Sunny talking about the OJ trial and mentioning racism. What was she talking about?

Doesn't matter. Being black and all that entails is the only thing she ever brays about.

What horrible plastic surgery on Nicole Simpson's sisters. The one talking in the middle and the one sitting close to Sunny both look like pythons. Thoughts and prayers for them.

[quote] Sunny talking about the OJ trial and mentioning racism. What was she talking about?

She said many people thought many people believe race played a role in the verdict, that the prosecution made a mistake by putting Mark Furhman on the stand, that there was the infamous glove, and that the defense smeared Nicole by making her look like a party girl. All of that was a long winded semi-irrelevant lead up to simply asking Denise what her reaction was when the verdict was read.

WHAT THE HELL DID DOMINIQUE DO TO HER NOSE AND MOUTH ? She can't close her fish lips because of this horse teeth.

Dominique must have found the same doctor who performed Nanette Fabray’s nose job.

When she was in profile, I thought her nose was missing. Really weird looking.

When they showed video of Nicole from 30-40 years ago, it made the sisters look especially weird.

Kids learn this type of rhetoric at home, right Sunny?

She "got her diploma"

$63,000/year to attend a private school yet she has a grade school-level grasp of grammar. Doesn't seem very well liked by the other kids. I wonder why?

It’s been obvious for weeks that Sunny is pro-Palestinian but too afraid to say so. And it’s not surprising since her entire world view seems to be “dark skin good, light skin bad.”

R440, she defends Palestine and the idiot protesters every chance she gets. Remember those three Palestinian college students who were chased by a local in Mass. I believe two were shot. The View had on the one student who escaped. His mother also appeared with him during the interview. It was nothing but a softball interview. Why didn't she ask the woman if she voted for Hamas in 2006? Someone voted in this terrorist organization. She also prefaces each defense with "my grandfather was Jewish" which doesn't mean a damn thing and she knows it. It just shows her duplicity. If she had been raised Jewish which she wasn't, she may have a different outlook on what is going on in Gaza.

I wonder if Paloma's Insta stories will be on Hot Topics next week ? Probably not.

Yeah yeah and if she was Palestinian she would already be dead from exploding herself. The truth is somewhere in the middle. No side has acted innocent and guilt free. Civilians caught up in the bombings and terrorism on both sides are the losers. It's ugly all around and needs to end for all involved.

So they're going to spend the rest of the hour talking about Sister Act 2? Seriously? I'm flipping back to Bones reruns.

Why was this Sister Act shit not saved for the pre-taped Friday show? I also turned it off.

Whoopi's work is omnipotent. All must bow before her. And compliment her for being a pioneer, a genius, a brilliant actress.

I'm so over these Whoopster-Spectaculars they do. She sure wears the pantaloons over there.

It seems we're all in agreement about today's show.

I'd love to see the minute-by-minute ratings for this ep. I was half paying attention when they introduced the SA cast. It was only 20 minutes into the show. I enjoyed the films but this segment(s) did not interest me. I turned off the tv at 11:20 and went on my merry way.

Brian Teta said on today’s podcast that they tried to get Lauryn Hill for the show but it “didn’t work out.” Um, maybe because Lauryn is notoriously awful and can’t even be bothered to show up for gigs where she’s actually getting paid?

Notice Joy Behar was not part of the SA kiss-ass festival ? I guess she has it in her contract she doesn't have to participate in this shit.

R448, got the heads-up from DL about the SA2 cavalcade and turned it off at 10:07 on the West Coast.

The constant Goldberg ass kissing is getting tiresome.

They did an episode long Sister Act reunion a couple of years back. And they just did a whole episode spotlighting Whoopi and her book a couple of weeks back.

And since when is Sister Act 2 such a beloved classic? It was a box office bomb and got negative reviews.

The SA reunion was pre-taped when Joy was out sick. But I’m sure she’s not sorry she missed it.

Yeah, they unexpectedly had to go live for Hot Topics on Friday. Felt like today was live for Hot Topics only, as well.

They acted as though Sister Act 2 was one of the greatest movies in cinematic history. Did they even watch the movie ?

I can't wait for the Theodore Rex reunion in a couple of years.

R456, And the “Ezra” 25th reunion in 2049.

Whoopi can't get through reading one sentence without screwing up. Retire this bitch already, she is the absolute worst.

Sunny's delusional about her parenting skills as usual.

Did they bring up Paloma's controversial Israeli-Palestine opinion?

Of course not, R459. Her kid sounds like an unpopular brat. Good luck in life, kid.

R455 Sister Act 2 really was a great movie in the 90s. Right up there with 3 Men and a Little Lady, Look Who's Talking Now, Kindergarten Cop, Ghost, City Slickers. It was a feel good family friendly movie.

R458 NO! No person growing up with Whoopi would ever want to retire that bitch already! No! Her replacement would be worse.

R461, she's telling the audience there were women involved with the invasion of Normandy. Joy's telling her "I don't think so" but as always, Whoopi the high school drop-out knows better than the other co-hosts who all have college degrees. The WACs did not invade the beaches at Normandy.

As for her moderator skills or lack thereof - she always looks bored, she phones it in. She's been a bit more animated lately because she has a book to sell. She's always ill-prepared and I don't believe she attends the morning meetings. She sucks at the job and I'm tired of her always dragging the convo to a stand-still when she drops her pearls of wisdom which consist of nothing more than a fried pothead's incoherent ramblings. And her constant use of "you know, you know, you know" when the aphasia kicks in is so very tiresome.

She also refuses to say Trump's name "you know who." You work for the ABC News division. Grow the fuck up, do your job and say his damn name. He's not Beetlejuice you fucking idiot.. To reiterate: She is the absolute worst.

Based on the hosts' outfits, today's Viggo Mortensen interview appears to have been taped as part of last week's show that got scrapped after the Trump conviction. I'm surprised they didn't make them put on the same outfits again so it wasn't so obvious that a chunk of the episode was from last week. I'm even more surprised that they didn't use the hot topics from that scrapped episode since I can imagine several of the hosts were annoyed at having to do a new segment when that one never aired.

How many days a week are they pre-taping? Yesterday Whoopi had to do her tired old "you look familiar" audience joke. I saw an article yesterday (didn't read) about Jessica Alba arriving at The View studios. I wonder when her interview will air.

I'm always confused by Whoopi's joke about the audience being familiar. If you look at the ticket website, the Friday show is taped after the live Thursday show. They also have different tickets for each show, so presumably it's a different audience almost entirely.

Yes R465, she makes the joke then they begin Hot Topics and it's current live news. I think Whoopi's fried and hasn't a clue what day it is.

[quote]she's telling the audience there were women involved with the invasion of Normandy.

She was referencing President Biden's inclusion of women in his tribute to the people who made D-Day possible. No, they weren't on the beaches, but women in the Armed Forces and American women at home were a critical to the success of the War in general and the invasion in specific.

Love that the women are eating professional "House Nigger" Byron Donalds for lunch.

Joy was nearly two years old on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

R467, no she wasn't. Joy was specifically talking about when they stormed the beach at Normandy in 1944.

R470 is correct.

I must get 15-40 facebook feed posts about how the view is being cancelled, that Roseanne's new talk show wiped the floor with it in the ratings (she has no new talk show). and how Whoopi and Joy are moving to Canada.

If it's on Facebook, it must be true.

r470, Joy was referencing a merged comment by Biden. Biden thanked the women, Jooy said that there were no women on the beaches of Normandy. It was an odd comment by Joy, but both statements were correct.

Sunny rattled off 'the statistics' once again, which shows the majority of Black voters (especially women) are Democrats. What she's not telling us is where she's getting these stats, and who is doing the research. I'm certain if Sean Hannity was reading off 'statistics' on Black voters, they'd be quite different from Sunny's.

Too bad Whoopi wasn't there today - the actress Golda Rosheuval from Bridgerton could've kissed her ass and told her that the reason she's an actress is because she was inspired by Whoopi's performance in 'Sister Act 2'. Of course, Whoopi would've smiled at her and nod her approval.

I think that Whoopi approved the Bridgerton segment for a Friday, as nobody worked with her.

I just saw the Emmy thread so I flipped over to CBS just as they were announcing the talk show host category nominees. I saw Sunny and Alyssa at a table, not sure who else from the group attended.

Long story short, they lost to Kelly & Mark, lol. Yes, Kelly & Mark.

I believe they also lost Best Talk Show to Kelly Clarkson. I'm not sure if they're in the same category but I would assume so.

The Bridgerton guy is some cutie!

Still thinking bo one can replace Whoopi who wouldn't be worse. You got a Ruth Bader Ginsburg situation.

I can't wait for Sunny to return to the show on Monday, and tell us about 'Kelly Clarkson Show' winning 'Best Talk Show' and Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark winning best talk show hosts all due to 'white privilege'. I'm certain she will give us a tally on how many white people won an Emmy compared to People of Color last night, and remind us 'we need to do better'.

Yeah, right after she discusses the Paloma controversy.

I didn't even notice Sara's reference to Meaghan earlier this week. But of course Meaghan is pretending she doesn't just love the attention.

Yes Meghan, and you'll never quit carbs.

r481 Mark Consuelos is not white.

R485 What is he ?

Markis Latino. As is Sunny when she’s not being black. Or Jewish.

Mark is half Mexican and half Italian.

SO he is half Caucasian.

Unlike Sunny, I bet his family didn't own slaves though.

I read his Wiki. He was born in Spain raised in Italy and the US. He has two siblings. One is a doctor and one is a lawyer. Kelly is half Italian and half Irish.

Nothing to do with The View except for Sunny's wrath, none too concealed through her plastered-on smile, come Monday morning.

You know she'll find a reason to grin like a coquette and hide fetchingly behind her coffee cup.

Pot meets kettle.

I guess Jo Koy got the memo that you have to kiss Whoopi’s ass because he spent the last several minutes of his segment gushing over her.

R494, he waited too long though because Whoopi urged him to kiss faster as she had to go to break.

Jo Koy is not funny. Find another career path before you're too old for manual labor jobs.

All three of Whoopi’s husbands were white.

Just sayin’ . . .

R496, that's always been her preference. Just like DeNiro prefers black women except his latest baby mama, whose name is Tiffany Chen.

Interrupted for the Hunter Biden verdict but they did get through the first segment about audio recordings with SC Justice Alito and his wife talking to a supposed Christian conservative. *SPOILER* She's not.

The "Christian conservative" sounded like a SM influencer Valley girl. I can't believe they gave her the time of day. Alito came across better than his asshole wife going on about Pride flags hanging on properties near her home. She also referred to his position on the SC as "that stuff." That stuff? He's not some mid-level accountant you bigoted asshole.

When the articles came out about certain flags being flown at his principal residence and his vacation property, I honestly thought he was trying to hang the blame on his wife. Now I know it was his wife. These SC wives are out of control. They spill their political beliefs at the drop of a hat to anyone who will listen.

Such a nothingburger story, R498.

I thought his wife was a revelation. She and Ginni need to shut the hell up and sit the hell down.

And don't forget that Mrs Justice Roberts runns a 10 million dollar a year "clerk placement" business for future Federalist judges.

The Merry Wives of Leo/Crow.

Interesting book idea: The Wives of the Supreme Court. Go back in history and you might find some others with outsize influence on their hubbies.

R502, Justice William O. Douglas caused a scandal when he married a 22 year old girl in the 1960s.

Every time the network interrupts with breaking news, I hope Trump has had a massive heart attack.

R504, if you don't see the anchor cut to a reporter standing in front of a KFC sign or the golden arches, it won't be about Trump's demise.

Well I guess Ayo Edebiri got the memo about kissing Whoopi's ass - they showed the Jumpin' Jack Flash poster hanging in her house and then a red carpet look she claims was inspired by Whoopi. I was half expecting her to trot out a kid she'd just adopted and named Oda Mae Brown.

Yes, these idol worshiping segments are getting tiresome. Is it now a requirement for getting booked on The View?

R507 It's been a requirement for many, many seasons. This is not new.

BTW - who hates Sara so much that they did that to her hair today ? The cowardly lion is certainly not her look.

"I was half expecting her to trot out a kid she'd just adopted and named Oda Mae Brown."

That's Sara's summer project. We will hear about it in September. As a matter of fact, Sara plans on adopting twin girls - the other will be named 'Celie'.

The interview with Ayo Edebiri seemed more like she was auditioning for a role in Whoopi's upcoming (?) "Sister Act 3". She can be a mini-Whoopi in the movie.

Do talk show producers still do pre-interviews with the guests and/or their reps? I'll bet they ask each guest how Whoopi has inspired them to become an actor, singer, whatever. It must be a mandatory question because these guests don't just show up and say a few nice words to Whoopi, they're giving personal photos to the producer to air during their segments.

Sara's hair was an homage to Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.

Brian Teta put a poll on his X account about Sara’s hair and what it was an homage to. The choices are Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, Shirley Temple, and Sandy at the end of Grease. Right now Glenn is in the lead.

[quote]Brian Teta put a poll on his X account about Sara’s hair and what it was an homage to

I can't imagine Barbara Walters doing something so stupid and shallow.

What an embarrassment that this guy is carrying on a show that Walters put her blood, sweat and tears into and tried to make a statement with.

All that's left is for all the co-hosts to take turns all licking Whoopi's pussy. That's pretty much where we're headed at this point, is it not?

The Hanson kids grew up to be hot!

It seems incredible that she's had two audiences with the Pope. The others talk about these visits as if she's bout to be canonized.

Well, we see the number of people who flock to The View for the Whoopi pilgrimage and blessing.

Not very different from Mother Theresa.

Hanna comes out wearing a black Mao suit.

Ana will be on Bill Maher tonight along with Charlamagane tha God and Joel Stein. I really hope Bill gives Charlamagne a harder time for refusing to endorse Biden than the View panel did a few weeks ago.

R7 The industry loves Whoopi including the Jewish power players. Here intent was not malice. Plus Whoopi kisses ass.

I wouldn’t let Whoopi anywhere near my ass.

Alyssa has a very large mouth - like Carly Simon.

R519, the problem with Whoopi is she always thinks she knows better than everyone else at the table. When she started dropping her pearls of wisdom about the Holocaust, Joy and Sara tried to explain to her the Jews were deemed a separate race by Hitler in order to stoke hatred and division. She refused to listen and continued on with her little stoned know-it-all diatribe. That's when all hell broke loose. She could have nipped it in the bud if she had just listened to those who knew and understood history. But no, she talked right over them and that's why she ended up in hot water.

How did Whoopi escape massive social media criticism after suggesting Jill Biden should be appointed Surgeon General?

The others corrected her on the air, but Whoopi skated on that stupid remark.

Thought it was interesting that someone dropped Alyssa's birthday cake on the floor in the back room (what a mess it made). Alyssa took it all in stride, laughed about it, and enjoyed the cookies.

I can't help but think if this happened to Sunny, she would've pouted, wanted to know who did it, and would later tweet that there was a hint of racism about what happened at work on her birthday. No doubt.

Maybe there's some Dem who hates Alyssa.

Sara's curly hair was back today. I'm guessing it's because the View Your Deal segments are pre-taped and today's was from the she had the curly hair last week.

Her hair was curly throughout the entire show. She said Sunny is her hair muse. Take from that what you will.

Was it just me or did Costner look bored out of his mind during his segments?

Ana had to have the last word on Whoopi's Vatican story.

Yes, it was curly throughout the whole show. But the View Your Deal segments are taped in advance. A live taping will run from 11-12 and then after, Sunny and Sara will go backstage and change hair and outfits while they set up the stage to tape View Your Deal. A few days later, Sunny and Sara will match those looks for the live show so that you can't tell the View Your Deal segment was pre-taped when it's slotted in at the end of the episode. While that segment airs on TV, the in studio audience is treated to a Q&A session with the hosts.

[quote] Her statement that, from a black woman's point of view, the Holocaust was white people killing white people. I perfectly agree with her perspective.

A year late but I seldom glance at The View threads.

I wonder how angry Whoopi would have been if some television host had said the slaughter of nearly a million innocent Rawandans didn't matter to them because it was just some blacks killing other blacks.

The Jews thought it mattered.

I really wish they would get rid of these Oprah's Garage Sales. But they must be very profitable for the show which is why they have a few a week (I'm sure they get more than 50% of the money brought into these companies when their viewers buy the products).

R527, There were no hugs or kisses for the gals from Kevin as he entered.

I have to wonder if he’d been warned about that question as to how has he withstood the past “rough year”.

R522 because who doesn't know that? Yes it was ignorant because it's discounting facts but she was saying the root cause was evil in man and it doesn't matter what you call it, it's still the same amount of deaths and evil.

I bet if black people had been in Germany like they were in the US south, the Holocaust wouldn't have happened. The target would have been a different 'other.' Had aliens arrived and enslaved the planet, all of humanity would have been united against that other. There's always a target to destroy. The bad guys, the evil doers.

I think she was trying to get at something deeper but we'll never discuss it because people were scared.

R530 that would be like someone saying it was a race war. History books saying it was a race, it's about race.

When you look at the people they don't seem that dissimilar and there's something ugly in mankind that could do that. So you're thinking, it's not about race, why does humanity want to kill other humans?

Anyway it's a dog eat dog world what can you say.

Rachel on The View today is showing her skills as an Information Distiller.

She takes very complicated answers and breaks them down for Red State fraus to digest.

She is brilliant.

"He is trying to reach people emotionally so that reason is off the table."

That is epic distillation.

It is a pity that Whoopi talked over her.

Whoopi was waiting for Rachel to idolize her.

[quote] "He is trying to reach people emotionally so that reason is off the table."

What a shabby way to campaign.

r537, yes it is, but republicans have been marketing fear since Goldwater, the little girl with the flower and nuclear mushroom cloud.

Since Willie Horton, Willie Horton and the turnstile.

I hope Democrats open the floodgates of fear after Labor Day.

Rachel reminds me of a precocious child who was told she was brilliant, so naturally she grew into an adult who thinks she is brilliant.

R539 - the little girl ad was anti Goldwater

Sorry, I meant to address R540 to R538.

(A voter speaking in 1965)

"Last year LBJ told me if I voted for Goldwater that soon we'd be at war in Vietnam. So I voted for Goldwater anyway and by golly, Lyndon was right."

I was waiting for Rachel to tell Whoopi if she hadn't seen her in the HBO special back in 1986, she would have never gotten into radio broadcast which led her to television. I guess they didn't tell her she was obligated to do so while she was waiting in the green room.

Oh dear God...

Sunny praised guest Taraji P Henson, and the fact that 'The Color Purple' opened with the biggest box office since 2009 - and asks TPH if she expected it to do as well as it did.

First of all Sunny - tell the whole truth. Tell us the reason why it opened with the biggest box office in 14 years on Christmas Day (hint: it had something to do with Oprah buying tickets for everyone at almost every theater).

How can you ask her if she was surprised the movie did so well when it was one of the biggest flops of the Christmas season ? Once audiences had to pay for the tickets after Christmas Day, they stayed away in droves.

And God bless Whoopi for feigning 'forgetfulness' when they kissed her ass and said she was part of the movie, too. "I was ?" she asked. They reminded her she was - and then she recalled. I guess Whoopi is trying to remove that movie from her resume.

Patti Labelle looks incredible for 80 - but no way would I eat any of that food she made with those long talons in the mixing bowls. That just grosses me out - when any woman has nails like that.

R544, Sunny's one talent is gaslighting or just plain lying in order for the topic to fit her narrative.

R545, I had the same reaction. I've noticed professional female tv chefs usually have short nails, no nail polish and they usually remove all of their rings including their wedding band when they're preparing food.

Trolldar "Miss Bothsides r537" and the results aren't surprising.

Jessica Alba's movie clip of 'Trigger Warning' looks awful.

r548, it was a combo of bad acting, bad fight choreography and bad editing.

It itself was a trigger warning.

How in the world did Dr. Fauci do a whole interview segment and not have to kiss Whoopi's ass at some point ? How did he get away with that ? I mean he could've at least said her book inspired him to write his book.

R550, heads will roll!!!

Has Whoopi done an AIDS movie?

I didn't know Barbara Walters died 2 years ago.

Nobody ever really talks about her.

R552 Boys On the Side. A female road movie.

R553 Every now and then they mention her on the show. Why just the other day, they did...

Behar quipped, "It's so nice to do this show without that old asshole Barbara Walters in charge. I don't miss her and glad she's dead. "

Sara said, "She was the cause of my anxiety and PTSD."

Sunny Hostin said, "She was always a racist bitch when she spoke to me ."

Whoopi asked, "But was it racist-racist ?"

r555, Alyssa said. " I had no Idea she was such a cunt."

Brian said, "I just found out she dropped me off at a convent the day after she gave birth to me."

[quote] I didn't know Barbara Walters died 2 years ago. Nobody ever really talks about her.

That should give everybody here a hint how quickly they too will be forgotten after their death

Today the guest was Dr. Jen Ashton, chief medical consultant for ABC. She announced that she was stepping away from her ABC job after 13 years (with no explanation). Sunny said she wanted to thank her once again, because when Sunny's in-laws were diagnosed with COVID in the summer of 2020, she called Ashton immediately and Ashton was able to get them into a hospital.

Since Sunny is quick to call out the advantages of "white privilege" every chance she gets, I guess it's only fair to call out Sunny's "Black - Puerto Rican Celebrity Privilege" ?

Who was the genius who decided it was a great idea to dress a seven month pregnant Mandy Moore in her First Holy Communion dress today ?

Whoopi needs to go. She can't even articulate her thoughts much less form a cohesive sentence. I can't believe this burnout is the moderator of a network show under the ABC News Division.

Another Black Panther!

Sunny's hair today. Cultural appropriation and straight-up ridiculous.

What the FUCk was that on Sunny’s head??????

And her self-indulgent posturing as she ate the hot wings. . . ? She thinks she's so very cute.

Sunny’s getting whiter and whiter.

Sunny dropped the Whitney Huston 1987 wig and went with the Tina Turner 1993 wig. Is she going to wear a Donna Summer wig next week and go full circle with dead black female singers ?

I was waiting for Sunny to choke on the wings but it didn't happen.

Coming soon . . . Billie Holiday.

She said she saw Nicole Ari Parker at an event with the same wig and asked her hair guy to make it happen. I wonder how far his eyes were able to roll to the back of this head.

The Hot Ones segment with the wings - I thought Sunny was a vegetarian. How does she reconcile her backyard pets with chicken for dinner? Also, is she going through some kind of mid-life crisis because lately she seems to be flirting with every male guest on the show. And what the hell were those looks and sounds about as she devoured those poor little bird parts? Something is up with her.

Is Sunny’s beloved son still dating an older woman?

I am culturally ignorant, and whatever a woman likes to plant on her head is fine with me.

I thought it makes Sunny look like she's in her thirties.

Liked it.

Odd that Jamaal Bowman’s defeat was not discussed, so Sunny could blame it on white privilege.

You can tell Joy did NOT like Sunny's wig. Instead of saying, "Sunny, you look so beautiful today..." she asked timidly, "Can I ask you a question ? Is that your real hair ?"

Guaranteed, the Black Panther actress will never ever be invited back to the show. Why ?

Because she didn't kiss Whoopi's ass at the end of the interview, and say the only reason she became an actress was because of Whoopi's unforgettable role in the movie "Burglar". And then Sara could've added that's her THIRD favorite Goldberg movie after 'Ghost' and 'Sister Act'.

She may be Black but she's a Brit.

In the last few days Sunny has used the phrases "bet" and "say less." She is trying way too fucking hard to relate to Gen Z.

[quote] She is trying way too fucking hard to relate to Gen Z.

And it's working !

Sunny got rid of the Tina wig and went with a JLO look.

Judy Gold and Sandra Bernhardt to represent lesbian comediennes ? Two of the least funny women on earth.

If you're going to book a lesbian comedian, bring back Rosie. Oh yeah - the Whoopi problem.

Separated at birth, Sandra Bernhard and Jen Palmieri.

Sandra asked Sarah if she had ever been with a woman. She said no, but was "gay adjacent." Wish she had asked Whoopi, or does she already know?

I can't wait to see how those idiots spin this debate tomorrow. Joy and Sunny will be the worst.

R581 Fridays are pre-recorded. They will discuss it on Monday with Anna instead of Joy.

The schedule said they would discuss the debate on Friday's show. They make exceptions like they did with Trump's conviction last month.

I have an appointment during that timeslot so maybe just this ONCE I'll program the tv to record The View for me later. Their dejection should be entertaining.

R584 they'll just spin spin, spin. Joy is ridiculous in her refusal to hear anything negative when it comes to Biden's age. Sunny is a bullshit artist of the highest order. She thinks she's smarter than the average bear and will phrase her thoughts in such a condescending way to say we're all too stupid to see she's lying through her teeth.

They'll attack Trump (you know who) as they always do but this time it will be to deflect away from Biden's deficiencies and weaknesses in his debate performance.

This was a waste of time. I learned nothing from either one. I'm still voting for Biden.

If Biden is the nominee.

Yes, is a brokered convention in the cards?

R588, there was a story out the other day, Obama, Hillary and other top Dems were plotting to have Joe replaced on the ticket. I don't know how credible the source is, but after tonight (even though he had a cold) it's obvious they need someone with energy who will make Trump look like the old man he is in comparison.

Unless the candidate has died, Bait and Switch isn't well received by American voters. It makes therm think you are pulling a fast one on the voters

We need a PART TWO thread pronto ! Who's starting it ?

Here ya go!

Joy is blaming Biden’s pitiful debate performance on his having a cold.

Sara said Biden should step aside

Alyssa said Biden should step aside

Sunny said maybe Biden should step aside

Joy admitted Biden was terrible

Ana admitted Biden was terrible but said she won't judge him based on this one debate

Whoopi couldn't be bothered to show up today despite showing up on Friday when Trump got convicted

And now this thread is closed. Continue posting here:

The deciding factor for LBJ when he withdrew in 1968 was when Walter Cronkite publicly turned on him.

If Biden has lost “The View”, well . . .
