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.

by Anonymousreply 7August 24, 2023 3:07 AM

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

by Anonymousreply 8August 24, 2023 5:36 AM

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?

by Anonymousreply 9August 24, 2023 5:45 AM

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, 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.

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?

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.

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.

by Anonymousreply 52September 7, 2023 4:41 PM

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.

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.

by Anonymousreply 113January 6, 2024 3:38 PM

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Viewers were tired of Star Jones and were tuning out in droves.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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" ?

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.

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'.
