Why do they read off of the cards when they have a guest. Don't you think they should get an idea of the question before and look at the person to whom they are speaking? Sunny is the worst at this, followed by Joy.

by Anonymousreply 3September 23, 2024 4:53 AM

Jackson's story is all over the media - they're going to have to cover it.

Here's what Sunny will say:

This weekend, I had to go to Cornell University to have the difficult conversation with my baby girl, Paloma about Janet Jackson's comments on Vice President Kamala Harris. As I expected, it was the topic of conversation among female students of color on the campus, so I decided to gather everyone around me on the quad and address this issue amongst all the female students of color on the campus grounds. I said:

"As we all know, Janet Jackson was once a powerful inspiration in the Community of Color, back in the 1980s when I was just your ages and attending a Historical Black College. I would hang on every word she said, like when she declared, "Ain't no acid in this house" on her Rhythm Nation album. I truly believed she wasn't taking acid, and it was wrong for us women of color to even think of doing so - even though sister Whitney was dropping acid at the time.

But that was a long time ago. Today, she's a washed up has been - a former shell of the popular, successful woman of color she once was. What went wrong ? Some say it happened 20 years ago, when she showed the world her big nipple ring on her tittie at the SuperBowl. She spiraled out of control. Others say its when she had to stand next to her lily white niece and nephews at her brother Michael's funeral in 2009, wondering 'Who the fuck are these white kids and why in fuck are they getting Michael's fortune ?' Some say it's when she gave birth to the baby we have yet to see, at the age of 53. I don't know for sure.

But I do know she's not the powerful voice of the community she once was. Her remarks on Vice President Harris is further proof girl's gone and lost her mind. It's time Kamala had a sit down with that girl and told her to 'Tell it to my face'. "

So that was the end of my conversation with these young ladies, I told them I wouldn't be taking any questions, and that's all I'm going to say about it here on the show.

Did Whoopi mention Janet recanting that apology?

by Anonymousreply 8September 23, 2024 3:24 PM

I don’t think it was mentioned that the apology was recanted R8. There was no mention of the fact that the guy who took it upon himself to do it was fired. One of the women towards the end said Janet is still grieving the death of her brother, leading Whoopi to remind us to give Janet grace.

To say I hate-watch this show would be an understatement at this point. Whoopi plays celebrity apologist "because here's the thing, you know, I too have made mistakes, and you don't feel like apologizing when everyone's coming at you." Fuck off, Whoopi.

I have an idea Whoopi, why don't you first learn the topic at hand before you open your big ignorant mouth. She was obviously alluding to her Holocaust debacle, but just like Janet you both opened your big ignorant mouths on a worldwide platform and spewed misinformation. You also mispronounced Kamala's name. Fucking stoner is sounding more like Huggy Bear by the day.

They need to give Whoopi a pulpit, set in a corner at the far end of the set where she can spew her chastising moralistic bullshit while the other co-hosts get on with the show. She always speaks as if she's the final authoritative word on every subject. She's had three failed marriages yet felt the need to write an advice book on relationships. I'm just so sick of her. She brings every conversation to a grinding halt and is completely unfit to moderate this show.

Sunny says Kamala is black because she says she's black and Sunny knows such things because she too is multi-racial, and she can identify any way she wants. Well Sunny, if it's ever discovered one of your kids has some genetic disorder specific to a certain race or ethnicity you may want to rethink your juvenile and delusional perception of what makes up race and ethnicity.

I've been watching this show since it premiered in August of '97. I stopped intermittently during the Rosie Perez "I know nothing except to talk about boxing." era ie year. A Whoopi pick. Then Jenny McCarthy era ie year and I hated the idiot from The Cosby Show. (another Whoopi pick, of course because she's an idiot) paired against Candace Cameron. Two former child actors in a cage match between liberal and conservative talking points. Ridiculous choices.

Here’s the Janet Jackson segment if you’re interested.

Whoopi did mention the guy being fired, but didn’t go into it. I agree with R12, Whoopi needs to be seated at the far end of the set to spew her “chastising moralistic bullshit”. Her saying that Jackson is not a “political” person doesn’t fly, and it’s not an excuse for Jackson to spew misinformation. If you don’t know or don’t care to know what’s happening or what’s at stake, then keep your mouth shut Miss Jackson.

Here's what I learned from their discussion about Janet Jackson's controversial statement:

1. Ana - shockingly - made the most sense. She came down hard on Jackson, holding her totally accountable for the statements she made in an interview she knew was going to be made public. Amen.

2. Alyssa - Janet is iconic, and the blame is on the algorithms of your social media, so we can't blame Janet if she was repeating this misinformation which appeared on her social media because of the algorithms. And she's iconic. So there.

3. Sara - She backed up what Alyssa said: It's all about the algorithms and what you read on Facebook, so don't believe everything you read on Facebook because of the algorithms, because you know - the algorithms. (She said nothing at all about Jackson, how irresponsible she was, about her 'non apology' or the consequences of the staff member who was fired.)

4, Sunny - She reminded us she is the only multi-racial host at the table (lest we forgot), and she decided to give Jackson's statement 'no air' - this enabled her to kiss Kamala's ass more, as she unashamedly angles for a position on her team in January. So sorry - no mention of Jackson or the guy Jackson fired.

Whoopi - She gets to tie it all up, and let's us know that Jackson can not be held responsible for what she says for a number of reasons: 1) She's not a 'political animal' 2) She's a busy girl 3) She's in mourning. Ana asked (off camera) if Jackson had a phone where maybe she could fact-check before she said Harris wasn't black, and Whoopi scolded her - Janet is a busy girl, and she's in mourning ! We all make mistakes - and we need to go easy on her. (Just like the way Janet easily fired her team member for issuing an apology on her behalf ?).

by Anonymousreply 20September 24, 2024 12:07 AM

We also got to hear from Kristen Bell today. She relayed how she knew Dax Shepard was “the one” when he took the gum she had been chewing and put it in his mouth.

Whoopi asked, “what flavor?”, and Kristen said she had been chewing it for a while so the flavor was gone.

by Anonymousreply 21September 24, 2024 12:20 AM

That Jackson clip is awful. Whoopi and Sunny can fuck off. You just did a whole hot topic last week on Taylor Swift's BFF (whom no one gives a shit about) and her political views and how it affects her relationship with Swift. You also did a segment on Taylor Swift's endorsement and how it changes the political game. Now all of a sudden, a musician's political views don't matter? And it's not worth the airtime to discuss it?

And has anyone on that panel mentioned Shirley Chisholm ONCE since Kamala has been nominated? You know, the first black woman who ran for President, who opened doors for Kamala? Sunny constantly acting like Harris is the first black woman "let into these spaces" is incredibly disrespectful to that women's legacy and all the doors she knocked down.

Also, this producer clearly wants to become a name in his own right, hence those wretched podcasts he now does and puts online. You are not Barbara Walters, dear, so please stop. Work on rectifying this shitshow first.

by Anonymousreply 22September 24, 2024 1:20 AM

R22, Shirley is dead, so she is of no use to Sunny.

Here is a bit of a NYT article on this debacle brought to you by Janet Jackson: " Mo Elmasri, who said he was Ms. Jackson’s manager, issued an apology on Sunday in which he said her statements were “based on misinformation.” Ms. Jackson, he told BuzzFeed, “respects Harris’s dual heritage as both Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused.”

After the statement was repeated by other news media outlets, representatives for Ms. Jackson issued a statement to Variety, saying that Mr. Elmasri was not her manager and was not an authorized spokesman. They told Variety that Randy Jackson, one of Ms. Jackson’s brothers, is her manager."

"Ms. Jackson’s representatives did not respond to requests for comment, and neither she nor her representatives appear to have tried to distance themselves from her statements about Ms. Harris."

What is her fucking problem? Just apologize already.

by Anonymousreply 23September 24, 2024 2:07 AM

R23 She's not apologizing for what she said - she obviously believes it is true, and she stands by this. Which is why Ana was the only one who had the cajones to call her out on this. She knew exactly what she was saying.

Screw the 'algorithms' and all the other excuses the other three women were trying to make 'happen' this morning - Jackson knew damn well what she was saying. The worst excuse was that she was in 'mourning' over the death of her brother last weekend. Fuck that - she could sit for an interview while 'in mourning' ? Most people would postpone, and it would be understandable.

by Anonymousreply 24September 24, 2024 2:12 AM

R24, this is some Trump level bullshit. It reminds me of Obama's birth certificate where he felt compelled to release his actual birth certificate in order to silence the mob. Now the non-believers will expect Kamala to take a DNA test in order to prove her ancestry. Jackson must be a Trumper or one of the dumbest people alive. Interchangeable really.

Whoopi now yelling at the camera chastising us for blaming Taylor Swift for Kelce's lackluster performance on the field. I don't blame Taylor, Whoopi. I don't care about Travis Kelce, his team, their record or anything else to do with them. So kindly shut the fuck up and stop yelling at the viewers. Honestly, she sounds like a drugged-out bag lady yelling at passerby on the street.

Uzo Aduba was the only black child in her class. That's why you're referred to as a minority. You're in the fucking minority. Hear that, Sunny?

Michael Eric Dyson on Congresswoman Nancy Mace: "I didn't call you a racist." Congresswoman Nancy Mace: Yeah, you did.

On Mark Robinson: "White supremacy by ventriloquism." So, Kamala's the smartest woman in the world but a 56-year-old black, seasoned politician who spews hate is being controlled by whitey? Sure thing, pal.

Now he's blaming every single tragedy ever befallen a person of color, women, Hispanics, and Asians on white evangelicals.

I've come to the conclusion I'm just too damn white for this show. This is DEI hell, and I've had enough.

Sunny also said a few weeks ago that 'no black men' are voting for Trump, even though latest stats show at least 25% of registered black men is voting for Trump, and the number keeps growing. So where is Sunny sourcing her info from ? She never says.

And if Sunny really believes Black women are the most educated - how does she explain Janet Jackson ?

Yes R32, the king of deflection deflected to race as usual and declared he was the victim and this was another case of white bigotry by saying, "the black brute seeks the innocent white woman" and these idiots just smiled and agreed. He said what was once considered a compliment is now considered harassment. He also said misnaming (don't you mean mispronouncing?) Kamala is racist. Trump refers to Gavin Newsom as "Newscum" is that racist?

He actually says white Christians hate themselves and have not forgiven themselves for the past. Who, slaveowner Christians? How many living Christians does this idiot think have ancestors who owned slaves in this country?

He also lied when he said the only people who received reparations after the Civil War were white slave owners. Whoopi has said on the show her ancestors received reparations. Yet she just sat there and said nothing to correct his statement.

Thrice married preacher? Yeah, you're "a child of God" He's so full of shit. He's just as divisive as Trump he just wraps it up in a pretty rhyming preacher's bow and pretends he wants unity between black and white. No, he wants complete submission. He's Sunny sans vagina. Race on the brain OCD 24/7. And to top it all off it looks as if he's wearing a cheap hairpiece.

Bonus: At the beginning of the clip, around ten seconds in it sounds as if Whoopi (cushion) is once again true to her name or it could be a chair moving. For the sake of the co-hosts, I hope it was the latter.

How can they not see through this guy? I suppose they don't want to. You can see most of his comments are prepared and it's noticeable when he has to stop for a split second to recall his latest 'off-the-cuff' riff.

Like I said in an earlier post, I just can't relate to this show anymore. Whoopi was wearing a Biggie t-shirt yesterday and the other co-hosts were complimenting her. An ABC show under the News Division and the moderator is proudly wearing a dead criminal on her chest. I don't know when the inmates took over the asylum (Yes, I do it was after they fired Barbara and Bill Gedde) but if this is the direction cuckold Brian wants to take the show, so be it, but I won't be watching because I'm obviously no longer their target demo.

You heard right, R50. I was more amused by her prepared written statement with her impassioned delivery as if she were trying to impress Biden while also auditioning for a post in Kamala's administration.

In reference to Manchin's refusal to endorse Kamala, did you notice Rochester replies "Well, we ain't endorsin' you, How 'bout that." Then Joy said, "Manchin is gone anyway." Meaning he is leaving the senate at the end of his term in November and will not seek re-election. Whoopi - I can't be assed to research and keep abreast of the news even though I'm moderator of a politically centric nationwide talk show then replied -" Yes, he's gone a whole other way". She doesn't know what she's talking about. Ever. Meanwhile ass-kisser Joy shakes her head in affirmation "yeah."

This show has been weirdly out of sync with what's trending on social media and everywhere else in recent years. Quite a few topics they will either ignore or discuss it days, or even weeks after it trended.

Betcha tomorrow on 'The View', Whoopi will call Kris Kristofferson her 'friend' who always had the best weed at his house and say he was one of the original bad asses in Hollywood.

Sara Haines and AFG will just stare at her with smiles (since they don't know who he is),

Ana will mention a Cuban singer / actor whom she's friends with, and Sunny will subtly suggest he was a racist, somehow.

by Anonymousreply 78September 30, 2024 1:34 AM

R78, they won't even bother. It will be just another throwaway as they break for commercial. Just like they did with Dame Maggie on Friday. Unless Whoopi has some sort of ass-kissing photos of her with Kris then by all means it will garner segment time.

Whoopi was in a bad mood today. Did someone take her weed away?

I won't be surprised if she's off the rest of the week.

They never mentioned Kris Kristofferson's death over the past weekend. I wonder if they will mention John Amos' death ?

by Anonymousreply 84October 2, 2024 11:48 AM

I went to their YouTube channel, and they had a separate clip for the big memoriam for Dame Maggie. It is 20 seconds in length. Their priorities are so screwed sometimes. Because a Reddit Rip-off segment on who the bride uninvited from her wedding is so much more relevant and timelier than the passing of one of the greats in the industry.

by Anonymousreply 85October 2, 2024 1:48 PM

I’m sure Whoopi will Whoopisplain about John Amos’s career achievements. Sunny will then remind us about Good Times’ and representation of black families in the ‘70s. Joy will then joke about how he’s having “good times” up in heaven now. Alyssa will mention his stint on The West Wing and Sara will smile politely. If Ana was there she’d regale us about how she once attended an event with Gloria Estefan, John Amos, and Pope John Paul II.

by Anonymousreply 86October 2, 2024 1:51 PM

I can’t wait to hear them discuss the debate. Alyssa and Sara will give a fair analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate’s performance. Sunny and Joy will rant about Vance lying while overpraising Walz. Whoopi will offer dumb platitudes to cover for the fact she couldn’t be bothered to actually watch the debate.

by Anonymousreply 87October 2, 2024 2:48 PM

LOL, spot on, R87. I enjoy listening to Alyssa and Sara's take on a topic because I feel they have the ability to see both sides and to fairly assess and critique each topic with an open mind.

I'm so tired of these impassioned idiots who believe if you are not in lockstep with your party's platform, you're a traitor of the highest order.

Raven Symone will be 39 in a couple of months. Poor woman really 'peaked' in her maturity at the age of 16, and really hasn't grown beyond that. It was such a frustrating interview to follow along with, due to her (obvious) ADHD, and the fact that she can't stay focused on what's being said.

And that poor creature Jason Wu - looked so uncomfortable being there trying to hold a Garage Sale.

Someone needs to tell them to turn down the damn music during their VYD segments. You can't hear what they're trying to shill. They need to dump that cuckold Brian and bring someone in who knows how to produce a show and wrangle these out-of-control egos.

by Anonymousreply 96October 3, 2024 11:48 AM

R96, I usually watch it live so I see the VYD. I do, however, mute the volume when VYD starts. I used to lower the volume, and it was just like background noise. With the new season they start the segment with very loud background music, and it runs throughout the segment.

As for today's show, Joy made a mistake using a Trump quote in the wrong context in reference to Pence. No one corrected her. And why does LeVar Burton merit two segments? Yes, please do talk about Sunny's ancestors being slave holders and slave traders. Yeah, sure. So painful yet she's laughing.

by Anonymousreply 97October 3, 2024 3:54 PM

Has Sunny paid reparations to the descendants of her ancestor’s slaves yet?

by Anonymousreply 98October 3, 2024 4:05 PM

The first thing Sunny said when she revealed her ancestors owned slaves was that people should stop pestering her about reparations because she still believed in them. And then she hasn't brought reparations up again since.

by Anonymousreply 99October 3, 2024 4:07 PM

And she won't bring up reparations should Kamala get elected.

It's been fun watching her go from someone who defended "Defund the Police" and constantly brought up the true, racist overtones of the US law system to someone who now cheers prosecutors and boasts about our legal nation.

I have no idea where she stands on anything with the exception of abortion, which she has always been against, even in cases of rape and incest. Charming, right?

I clicked on the podcast with Joy instead of today’s episode by mistake. I stayed with it. Joy is more entertaining on her own, sharper too. Hard to believe she’s 82, it’s like she stopped changing at 55.

by Anonymousreply 104October 3, 2024 9:41 PM

Joy celebrated her 82nd birthday today, and guest Nathan Lane (he must be the new 'go to gay guy' when they have no other guest to fill the seat, taking over for Mario Cantone) was there to celebrate with the women. For her birthday, he brought her an older male stripper named 'Jake' who looked to be a reject from 'Chippendaeles' from the 1980s, had a terrible chest / torso (wasn't muscular or defined at all). His dancing consisted of him flopping on the stage like a seal. It was awful - and he did an encore at the end.

Sara was giddy and actually got out of her chair and hid behind Ana, as though she was 13 (she's 47). No wonder they got her dancing female basketball players for her birthday a few weeks ago.

To finish the celebration, they held an 'auction' to raise money for Joy's favorite charity (a woman's shelter), and what they auctioned was crap they had lying around their homes. And I do mean crap. They followed that with Oprah's favorite lapdog Adam Glassman shilling more skin care shit in their View Your Deal birthday edition - for Joy.

No birthday cake for Joy - just a horrible male stripper. (If you're going to hire one, hire a gay millennial guy to do the job).

So candidate Kamala Harris is scheduled to be on the show this week. Let's see:

1. Sunny kiss her ass, as she auditions for a role in her administration. I say she wears the 'short blond wig' we see in the opening clips, and even the dark green suit.

2. How many times Whoopi manages to mispronounce her name.

3. AFG auditioning as well, reminding Harris she already has four years experience in the WH.

by Anonymousreply 108October 6, 2024 2:17 PM

I guarantee Sunny mentions that she and Kamala were part of the same sorority. She seems obsessed with this completely meaningless connection. And never brings it up about anyone else besides Kamala.

by Anonymousreply 112October 6, 2024 8:24 PM

R112, I was referring to Sunny. She personifies the term Helicopter Parent so I would think she would be deeply involved in her kids' choice of university.

As for white envy maybe it's more about emulation. Years ago I saw a 60 Minutes report where they interviewed wealthy black people. One woman said she sent her daughter to the orthodontist for braces (not that she needed the correction) because when she was a kid all of the white kids whose parents were considered affluent wore braces. I suppose it's an individual's personal perception/world view of what they consider to be some weird benchmark for wealth and prestige.

Today's show is dragging and disjointed as usual. It's comforting to know Matt Gutman still has the ability to highlight and gel his hair during wartime.

Kamala tomorrow. I suppose Ana, ass-kisser extraordinaire will be present. I wonder if she'll bring up her appearance at the DNC while Sunny sits there with that plastered smile on her face.

VYD.

I guess they're running low on guests who can kiss Whoopi's ass this week. Whoopi had to bring up the fact she was nominated for an Academy Award twice, and that her mother showed up the first time, not the second time - and the cohosts had to kiss her ass over this.

Since they haven't had any guests kissing her ass for over a week, I have a feeling Whoopi threatened to to be a 'no show' this week if producer Brian Teta didn't arrange something for this morning.

by Anonymousreply 114October 7, 2024 9:03 PM

In light of the death of Cissy Houston, Whoopi has less than 17 hours to practice saying her name correctly and to concoct a story about their special connection.

We probably won’t have to worry about her mispronouncing Kamala tomorrow, as I am sure she will default to calling her Madam Vice President.

by Anonymousreply 115October 7, 2024 9:17 PM

Whoopi finally learned to pronounce Kamala’s name just in time for her to appear. However, she still doesn’t understand how health insurance works and wants the money back if she doesn’t use it. As if she needs it. Sunny also went on a long rant about elder care and how her mother was rejected due to a pre-existing condition. Again, as if Sunny can’t just pay for her mother’s health care on her own.

by Anonymousreply 116October 8, 2024 3:51 PM

Sunny “defund the police” Hostin also sang Kamala’s praises as a moderate and former law enforcement. Then Whoopi tried to take credit for the idea of a cabinet that includes the other party. These two are fucking delusional.

by Anonymousreply 117October 8, 2024 3:55 PM

Kamala's doing well. Whoopi introduced her as the next POTUS. When she finally referred to her by name she called her "Camela."

Sunny creamed her panties (handmade in Ghana of locally sourced materials) Their motto: No whitey will ever make our panties. She looked like a 12-year-old meeting Taylor Swift for the first time. How are they such great friends if they've never met? Riddle me that one, Sunny.

Sunny doesn't ask questions she recites tomes. Get on with it and stop trying to impress your (non) future boss. She fucked up her first question which she had most likely been practicing for days.

Alyssa on the border.

Ana acting like they're buds. Fuck off with your incessant need to be one of the in kids.

Whoopi enamored. Stop embarrassing yourself. She's batting her eyelashes at this poor woman. Good thing she's not doing a Groucho with her eyebrows cause you know.

Whoopi embarrassing herself once again speaking on health insurance. This woman never learns. NEVER. Kamala being nice and trying to explain to the developmentally disabled Whoopi she's speaking on Medicare.

Whoopi's basking in the light. She didn't have sex with you, Whoopi.

Ana with her rehearsed punchlines. So natural yet not really. "The only thing Donald Trump can hold is a grudge and a golf club." How much did she pay for that joke.

Sunny, who turns 56 in a few weeks, considers herself part of the 'sandwich' generation where she's raising her kids and soon will face the fact she has to take care of aging parents ?

Her two kids are 19 and 22, out of the house and away at college. They are young adults - she already raised them, whether she can admit it or not. They're on their own, lady. By the time her mother Rosa Beza - who is only 15 or 16 years older than Sunny - needs her help in healthcare, Sunny's kids will be raising their own families.

No way ABC was legally required to show that abortion ad. They could have told them to tone it down and the images weren't appropriate for network tv.

by Anonymousreply 120October 9, 2024 4:04 PM

R120, I looked it up and it says they were legally required to show the ad because "as a paid political advertisement, the Network is required to carry it, unaltered, by federal law."

I'm glad I didn't see it. I was walking back into the room and only saw the disclaimer at the end. Randall Terry is responsible for this ad. He is the Constitution party's presidential candidate for 2024. He's also an infamous anti-abortion activist.

I'm sorry but she is so ridiculously unfit for this job, and she seems to get worse by the week. Fuck off into retirement and let your leech family support your ass for a change.

I remember when Barbara was at the table everyone would be on their best behavior. People used to say they liked it when she was off because it allowed the co-hosts a bit more freedom. Fuck that.

I like the fact that they kept holding up the Lisa Marie Presley / Riley Keough book cover WITHOUT Oprah's logo on the cover (in last night's interview, Oprah showed the audience the covers have her 'Oprah's Book Club' logo on the front). I thought it was interesting that they asked her mostly the same questions Oprah did last night (on her pre-recorded interview which aired) which Keough already answered in detail - couldn't they think of anything else to ask her ?

And why did they talk to her like she was 15 years old ? She's a 35 year old woman. Don't be so condescending towards her.

As for Sheryl Lee Ralph - I guess Yvette Nicole Brown is no longer the 'go to' Black actress on the show when no one else is booked ?
