The View — Part 31

Prior thread

We're just checking in. Are you all okay? Do you all really watch this show every day?

The show pulled in just under 4.5 million viewers the day after Election Day, making it the 'most watched show' since Barbara Walter's final episode on May 16, 2014. In other words, 4.47 million viewers tuned in to see the six women sitting Shiva, and listening to Sunny putting all the blame on 'white voters' for Harris' loss. The View” averaged 3.078 million viewers during the week of Nov. 4, making it the No. 1 show among daytime network talk and news shows.

I don't think any of the hosts need to worry about being replaced or cancellation of the show. As a matter of fact, they may want their agents re-negotiating their contracts for immediate pay raises right about now.

[quote] Year-to-year, “The View” was up 24% in total viewers (3.078 million vs. 2.489 million), up 22% with women 25-54 (270,000 vs. 221,000) and up 33% with women 18-49 (270,000 vs. 145,000). This season, “The View” has been up year-to-year in nine of ten weeks. All told, the show is up 9% in total viewers (2.614 million vs. 2.406 million) season to date compared to last year. “The View” also continues to be No. 1 in households and total viewers among daytime talk shows and news programs for the fifth straight season, according to ABC.

Sunny's hair almost always looks like a mantilla. She really does need to come out with rosary beads every day. black ones!

Sunny is not changing a thing, unless...perhaps her contracted salary. Her mantilla and racist comments have drawn in nearly 5 million viewers. Take that, Meghan McCain ! They like Sunny - they really like her !

R6, as R3 mentioned, I read at another site all of the Trump lovers/View haters intentionally tuned in to watch the day after the election.

I think Sunny is bordering on Star Jones levels of mockery. Ratings went up during Star's engagement, because she became such a Bridezilla. Non-regular viewers found her behavior extremely entertaining. Us regular viewers? Not so much. We all know how that ended for Star. Sunny should really try to get back to the business of being a co-host and stop being the self-appointed election blamer.

I expect the ratings to drop now that the election is over. Yes, they were great last week. Especially Wednesday when viewers tuned in to watch them eat crow.

Whoopi's already pushing her prosecco brand. I didn't know she had a prosecco brand. No wonder she bought a house in Italy. Now we're getting a preview of tomorrow's show which will feature Annie starring that working woman who has to work, uh huh, Whoopi Goldberg.

Oh, Fuck. They're interrupting the show for asshole Trump's meeting with Biden. An offer he refused to extend when he was the outgoing POTUS. Why do they do this? We can watch them sit there like two old men on regularly scheduled news. They're not answering questions so what's the point.

I'm sure Whoopi will be thrilled to have her big birthday celebration interrupted.

It is just Trump getting a normal WH reception, but he sees it as Biden eating shit in public.

It's why he didn't do it.

Through the eyes of a Capitalist Sociopath.

Hahaha, here in NY the Biden/Trump WH meeting interrupted Whoopi’s birthday celebration for about 20 minutes. I assume it was nationwide.

I get why Sunny’s bitter but bitch needs to stop already with her new catchphrase “America is getting what it voted for.” Not ALL of America voted for Trump.

Whoopi's going all in on the Italian lifestyle. Does she have some deal with them as a tourist ambassador?

Sunny making the ridiculous and dangerously unqualified SOD pick all about going after black people in the military. Never change Sunny, except please do.

The Broadway dude playing Louie Armstrong took the knee for Whoopi. Returning to normal ass-kissing mode post-election. He kept referring to black people as African American. That's so pre-George Floyd. Oh, he's explaining why he says AA. He can describe himself and others however he damn well pleases. So sick of this mandatory word to use now bullshit.

He sounds like Louie except you can tell he's a trained singer. Good luck to him.

Sunny managed to drop “race” into her brief remark about Hegseth. She can cross it her to-do list for today.

Whoopi managed to pronounce Vivek Ramaswamy correctly. It rolled off of her New York tongue effortlessly, unlike Kamala.

r13, They can all afford to move to Italy.

I wonder if Caren Johnson got a Golden Investment Visa to go along with her wine business?

See even her birthday dessert became a political issue. I knew something was going to happen with her bakery of choice.

I remember when Whoopi couldn’t step on an airplane. How is she getting to Italy? She had to take a bus everywhere in this country. (Like Aretha). She must bring loads of pot with her to take the edge off when flying.

I normally never watch the last five minutes but boy, was I glad I did today. Sara’s spit take when Whoopi said that the bakery which made the Charlotte Russes refused to make them for her because of her politics was absolutely brilliant.

Why would anyone buy a wine bwcause Whoopi's name is on the label? Or on a wheel of cheese? She's getting to be worse than Trump.

And PS, Sara continues to paw Whoopi like she's a pet dog.

Whew! I just finished buying all of Whoopi’s favorite things!!!

R20, she's a working woman, dammit!

Sara's suppressed lesbian tendencies come out when she's around Whoopi. She just can't help herself.

When did Whoopi become Italian?

When Caryn Johnson got the Golden Visa for investing.

Since September, Sara, Joy, and Sunny each had a birthday. None of them had a cake or cupcakes brought out for them (as they had in seasons past). Today is Whoopi's birthday and they got cupcakes for her ? Seriously ?

[quote]I expect the ratings to drop now that the election is over.

No way - the season is just getting started with Trump heading back to the White House. (September and October was just a warm-up this year.) This season, “The View” has been up year-to-year in nine of ten weeks. All told, the show is up 9% in total viewers (2.614 million vs. 2.406 million) season to date compared to last year, so it already has taken off like a rocket. These ratings in November sweeps are astonishing.

The viewers love this day-by-day coverage from these women on the second coming of Trump. Ratings may 'even out' and drop ever so slightly, but won't take a major drop. Even if / when they even out the ratings will still be outpacing the past few weeks.

Sunny will not look at Alyssa. What a cunt. I’m not an Alyssa fan but at least she will be professional and look at Sunny and address her. Sunny can’t do the same.

[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 bakery claims they didn’t accept the original order due to issues with their boiler.

R28 - LOL - bullshit. A pro-Trumper doesn't have facts or winning arguments - they would just yell and scream bullshit.

The ladies have seen what is was like in the past. Alyssa is a moderate conservative - she's just not the screeching obstinate types.

A Trumper wouldn't last long. Only because it's complete bullshit and doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

No way do they bring in a pro-Trumper. This story is BS. They have a great thing going now, and will ride this momentum for the next four years. They are not going to stir the pot.

Alyssa began to speak on the Gaetz nom when Sunny jumped in and cut her off. The former Federal prosecutor will not be denied! Whoopi's been on the soap box for so long now I dazed out minute ago. All of the first-graders watching are enthralled.

LOL. ERIC ADAMS ON TOMORROW. This will be a total disaster for the screaming co-hosts and the mayor.

If I were Alyssa, I’d slap Sunny upside the head and say look at me when I’m talking to you. Sunny refuses to even look at Alyssa when she’s speaking. Sunny looks at all the others when they are speaking. Nasty cunt.

Sunny's really acting like an immature brat. Rein it in and grow the fuck up. You can see she's fuming underneath every time she talks about ANYTHING political. I think she jumped in and cut Alyssa off because this is the AG, so she just HAD to speak first. You'll notice she also got her great black person compliment in by mentioning Eric Holder as some bastion of former AG greatness.

What are tourists from out of town supposed to do with tickets to a show that doesn't open until next month (Annie)?

I wish Whoopi would treat Sunny with the same cuntitude she treated Paula Faris with. It would be deserved.

They can barter with a NYC street vendor and get a hot dog and a knish in return, R35.

I don't like Alyssa - but as a former spokesperson, she keeps her calm and speaks well. That neon greenish yellow suit was awful.

Sunny seems to be reigning it in somewhat.

But I agree - Trump is trying to freak everyone out and create chaos again. We will handle it.

Remember - he's extremely incompetent - as most of his picks are. People don't like bending the knee to these stupid crazy people.

Can Cynthia move on from the witchie outfits already? We get it. Now it's just gimmicky and tired.

She looks like shit with all that jewelry and nails.

R39, funny you mentioned that. I could not concentrate on anything she was saying because all I saw was the nose ring, the overabundance of earrings, the rings on every finger and those ridiculously long nails. Then you have the busy pattern of her outfit with those huge polka dots. Clown central. Add to that she kept animatedly moving her hands while she spoke at that was it for me. Too much distraction.

I, for one, have had all of my lifetime's full of watching a precocious red-headed girl with a dog singing out Tomorrow, Tomorrow.

It's just so overdone. It's the Stairway to Heaven for Broadway.

[quote]...moving her hands while she spoke at that was it for me.

Don't get me started on Mame and that damn charm bracelet.

I shut the show off at 11:30 knowing that Cynthia and the Annie cast were coming on. No interest in them.

[quote]Sunny looks at all the others when they are speaking. Nasty cunt.

No, Sunny doesn't. The only person she makes eye contact with at the table is Whoopi. Never Alyssa, Ana, Joy, or Sarah. When Sunny talks she looks straight out into the audience (like she's a professor talking to students) and then ends by looking directly at Whoopi.

If there's a guest there she likes (usually it's narrowed down to Black or Latino) she looks at them directly in the eye when talking to them. Others (especially white men) she looks down at the index cards.

I'm shocked Cynthia didn't tell Whoopi she was the inspiration for her becoming an actress (You know the drill, "I saw you in Ghost and I said 'that's what I want to be!'). I'm also surprised Sara didn't do the obligatory, though totally dishonest, comment 'I'm hearing Oscar buzz for your performance...' Maybe she has come to her senses, and knows that's become a curse.

[quote]Remember - he's extremely incompetent - as most of his picks are.

Democrats have been wrong about EVERYTHING concerning Trump's success.

They keep saying something is going to do him in, and it never does.

Trump's success is a success of advertising and MAGA/Murdoch selling shit to the masses.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I saw Sunny's podcast interview. She puts all the blame on Kamala. she also seems to think she's jennifer lopez.

The new theme music for the season is called 'This Version of Me' . Has Sunny considered the version of herself she's presenting to viewers these days / this season ? Does she really think blaming Americans for Harris' loss due to 'racism and misogyny' is a great version of herself ? Is this the best version she can put forward ?

Mayor Adams is scheduled to be a guest today. Let's see if Sunny 'side eyes' him in the interview, or looks him in the eye with a big smile on her face. It's a tough one - he's a black man in an authoritative position, so he deserves an ass kissing from Sunny. But he's in lots of legal trouble, so the 'prosecutor' in her may give him the side eye and the snark.

I so hope they ask him about the police raid on the gay massage parlor.

Sunny fucked Kamala so hard. Kamala gave a formidable answer to her question but Sunny didn't think it was good enough. So she asked again more directly which is when Kamala gave the *not a thing comes to mind* soundbite. Never would have happened of she had just accepted the first answer.

She actually is loving that people are saying she cost Kamala the election because it makes her feel powerful.

R49, she's made a few disparaging remarks about Adams over the years. I remember this because she only speaks ill of black men if they're a Republican politician or if they are/were married to white women. Adams is neither so I 'm wondering why she dislikes him.

When they were discussing crime in the city, I was hoping Adams would have gone after Sunny and her defense of bail reform The migrants who come here and have criminal records or commit crimes on our soil usually stay here because their countries refuse to take them back. That why there is credence to the accusations they're emptying their prisons and asylums and shipping them off to our country. Castro did this back in the 80s.

WTF Billy Bob is in Stage 4 Johhny Depp age denial. Dude.

Only in America could you have a daily morning show of aggrieved multimillionairesses.

You can tell that Sara is walking through each hour.

[quote] Only in America could you have a daily morning show of aggrieved multimillionairesses.

I'd rather save my ire for the "news" network full of aggrieved millionaires raging about coastal elites from their NYC studio.

I called that one right - she side eyed and snarked him. She didn't kiss his black ass like she did Cynthia Erivo yesterday. I truly wished Adams brought up the fact that she sunk Harris' chances of being President.

No one asked him about his new 'trash law' or the raid on the men's spa ?

Fucking Whoopi stepped in it again. The Staten Island bakery story is blowing up. Now SI politicians are on the attack claiming she defamed Holtermann's Bakery and are demanding an apology. They even had the owner give a press conference. Now, I guess they'll be able to afford a new boiler or ovens or whatever the hell was acting up courtesy of Whoopi. Holtermann's says Thanks, Whoopi!

Whoopi should just go away. I want her seat at the table. I deserve it!

What a bullshit farce this has become.

Here's exactly what Whoopi said:

[quote]"They said that their ovens had gone down, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them. It’s not… because I’m a woman, but perhaps they did not like my politics. But, that’s okay, because you know what, listen, this is my mother’s celebration. Pick these up and celebrate with me and my mom. Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday today."

Neither Whoopi - nor anyone connected with 'The View' or ABC - ever mentioned the bakery by name. Not once. Not on the show, not in interviews, not in public in any way. Nothing. So where's the 'defamation' ?

The bakery self-identified themselves, most likely to gain free publicity for themselves right before the all-important holiday season. What better free publicity and boost your revenue - especially if you've had equipment problems in the past few months and lost sales such as an order for 50 cupcakes - by coming out and saying they're the bakery in question ?

Yet when push came to shove, the owner of the bakery backed far away - said she didn't know for certain if the cupcakes which were picked up on Wednesday morning were for the show or not. A woman who picked up the cupcakes never said who they worked for, where the cupcakes were going, or what / who they were for. She admitted this !

According to an interview she did with Entertainment Weekly: "She adds that she was not aware of any affiliations that the woman who picked up the desserts on Wednesday morning might have had, with regard to The View or otherwise."

What a bullshit controversy if ever there was one. The SI politicians need to learn the meaning of 'defamation'.

Sunny = the Eboni K. Williams of daytime talk.

R60, in this day and age when someone publicly states a grievance without mentioning the perpetrator they know damn well the public will figure it out rather quickly. The bakery didn't have to "self-identify."

Whoopi knew exactly what she was doing. Why did she have to play the victim and throw that grenade out there? It was unnecessary and it was intentional. She wanted to play the victim? Too bad now it's flipped, and she's once again cast as the villain or idiot depending on the day. Today she's the villain.

Why doesn't she explain why her last birthday dessert was made by Ruby et Violette. A bakery owned by Rebekah Mercer of the ultra-conservative Mercer Family. Huge Trump donors by the way. No mention about that though.

A bakery owned by Rebekah Mercer of the ultra-conservative Billionaire Mercer Family.

I predict major changes at the end of the season regardless of what the co hosts are saying (you think they're going to say otherwise at this point?).

They all look over it and the onslaught of negative criticism they've received the last couple of weeks is clearly catching up to them.

Barbara Walters never would have allowed it to deteriorate to this point. It's a mess, and it makes The Talk watchable by comparison.

R64 doesn't know what he's talking about. Ratings are good. Negative criticism from where? Bad publicity is good publicity.

Deterioration? As opposed to the daily fight fest with Meghan McCain and Hasselbeck?

Sunny did laugh at something Alyssa said yesterday. Sunny runs lukewarm and cold in general.

R62 However you want to see it, there was no 'defamation' from Whoopi, which was the point of my post above. She never mentioned them - period.

[quote]Why doesn't she explain why her last birthday dessert was made by Ruby et Violette. A bakery owned by Rebekah Mercer of the ultra-conservative Mercer Family. Huge Trump donors by the way. No mention about that though.

What's to mention ? Maybe it was Rebekah Mercer who asked the show not to mention her bakery, since she was from a family of Trump supporters, and didn't want them knowing she was supplying baked goods to a liberal host of a liberal talk show.

Furthermore, I don't recall Whoopi ever said she was 'banning' doing business with other people over their political beliefs, did she ? She was saying just the opposite on Wednesday.

Any changes will happen around contract negotiations time in August.

they need to ditch Sunny. i bet her q score must be in the toilet at this point.

If the ratings continue the way they are (and they will, once Trump takes office), the best ratings since four years ago AND the #1 daytime talk show / news show for the 2024-25 season, the only changes will be pay raises for each woman.

r70, The view fires individual co hosts all the time no matter how the ratings are. the ratings would be high whether Sunnys there or not due to the trump presidency about to start. If she proves to be unpopular (which I suspect she is becoming more unpopular by the day) they'll get rid of her.

R65 and R70 = Brian Teta

In the last month, Sunny's gotten flack for calling black men who weren't voting for Harris, "Crazy and ridiculous", and white women Trump voters "uneducated". Sunny's question to Kamala made the rounds of the Sunday morning political shows and is now considering a defining moment in Kamla losing the Presidency.

Whoopi is currently making rounds for making an issue she had with a baker political and earlier in the week drew controversy for trying to equate herself with the average working-class person, even though she's making millions per year alone on The View.

Ratings might be good now, but the general consensus even among democratic and left leaning spaces as well is that this show is completely out of touch with the average person and they're clearly struggling to connect with their audience.

R71 The show learned their lesson in the 2013-14 season, when they fired Joy and replaced her with Jenny McCarthy - and watched their ratings fall into oblivion. They fired McCarthy and replaced her with another comedian - Michelle Collins. They got rid of Collins without ever saying farewell. They originally fired Joy because they found Joy to be 'unpopular'. They asked her to come back in 2015-16 when they went through two seasons of rotating hosts and dismal ratings (I believe that's when 'The Talk' was surpassing them in the ratings). I doubt they will be making that mistake again.

R72 And it is keeping the show in the news cycle, and enjoying the record-breaking ratings.

I will not watch any news related program featuring hosts who are inappropriately attired.

Joy Behar, who is 8 million years old, is the only host who is dressed and groomed professionally.

The others have three yards of hair extensions piled up high, wear CROCS and visible contour smeared on their faces. Distracting.

Wtf. Sunni is 60 years old and wears a "Pebbles from the Flintstones" ponytail. I question her judgment based on her inability to dress appropriately or even in a way that flatters.

I thought Barbara Wawa had Joy fired because Joy spilled the beans in an interview that Barbara caught the chickenpox from Frank Langella?

R74 R75 so which news programs do you watch where the female hosts are 'properly attired' ?

None if the camera includes the full body shot. They wear short skirts with whore shoes and greased legs. Not exactly inspiring confidence in the audience to hear news from someone who looks like they are heading out to a club.

R78 You should listen to radio. Today's television isn't for you.

That is not a burn, it's the truth. You hos have nothing to say of value and you look terrible.

As shown on Friday's episode of The View's Behind the Table podcast, host Ana Navarro was recording the show when actress Eva Longoria called her. After Navarro let her friend know she filming, Longoria decided to use the opportunity to clear the air.

"Will you please let them know I didn't move out of the United States because of Trump?" Longoria, 49, said, to which Navarro, 52, pointed out that the Desperate Housewives alum was mentioned during The View's Hot Topics segment that day.

"Actually, your name came up in the discussion," Navarro said. "But you had moved before Trump."

"I've been in Europe [working] for 3 years," Longoria clarified, adding that the Marie Clarie article noted this in its piece. "The article says that. People just grabbed some clickbait stuff to be divisive, which makes me so sad that everything you say is just meant to be divisive when we can't be that way right now."

God Sunny is such a fucking asshole. They spent an entire segment talking about Bill Maher’s criticism of blaming Kamala’s loss solely on racism and sexism. Queen Sunny then said no one is blaming it only on racism and sexism while then ranting on and on about nothing but racism and sexism. She’s referred repeatedly to Kamala’s campaign as “flawless” while offering no meaningful criticism or explanation for her loss beyond racism or sexism.

Flawless is a such a ridiculous way to portray Kamala’s campaign. Repeating that incessantly does not make it remotely true.

R82 and R83, Earlier, I began to type a comment similar to yours, but I thought why bother. It's the same script every damn day on this show. When Whoopi said they'd be discussing Trump and the election again, Sunny jumped in and said for the next four years.

I don't want to listen to the same arguments and complaints for the next four years. Alyssa and Sara are beating their heads against a wall trying to talk sense to Sunny. It feels like Groundhog Day on The View.

Whoopi needs to put her foot in her mouth again in order to give them something else to discuss. By the way I wonder if Whoopi realizes she sounds just like Trump when she creates imaginary slights against her by her perceived enemies.

I enjoyed Alyssa today. She didn’t take any of Sunny’s shit. That attitude Sunny displays is so off putting. She’s such a nasty cunt.

She’ll blame the new NYC congestion pricing on racism tomorrow.

I wonder if Ms. Farah Griffin has any relatives who are deportable.

Alyssa gave a spirited defense of Mika and Joe. Sunny and Ana did not. Whoopi copped out and said she was buying popcorn for the inevitable saga to come. Too cowardly to express an opinion.

Whoopi’s afraid to alienate any more people with her stint as Miss Hannigan in Annie coming up next month.

I saw Maher's show last Friday night and knew right away he was really talking about Sunny Hostin, and no one else. I was waiting for this morning to see if they'd address this, and how Sunny was going to spin this. She didn't disappoint, did she ?

Kudos to Sarah, Ana, and Alyssa for pushing back on her and not taking her racist shit any more..

Women are going insane. Exhibit A: The Spew. Exhibit B: TikTok

There were things that Sunny complained about happening under Biden that she stopped speaking about the second that Harris was running. She also went from the Republicans biggest critic to preaching about "a seat at the table" for them literally overnight after Harris announced she wanted a Republican in her administration. That's why the "flawless" line for her is completely disingenuous. Either that, or Sunny really doesn't stand for a whole lot in terms of principles when push comes to shove.

I so want someone on the panel to ask her the next time she brings up the "Flawless campaign" line if she agreed with denying a Palestinian democratic supporter the chance to speak at the DNC.

R84 That's why I said there will most likely be changes next season. The panel is clearly becoming exhausted with having to deal with her infallibility on this. But a lot of this is ego with her as well, since she's being largely blamed for sinking Harris campaign. I think admitting mistakes would be akin to her saying she screwed up. And she's not going to do that. And how long can you keep beating the same drum before it becomes reductive?

[quote] There were things that Sunny complained about happening under Biden that she stopped speaking about the second that Harris was running.

She also failed to ask Kamala if she supported cash reparations for the descendants of slaves, which she asked every Democrat during the 2019/2020 primary. And let’s not forget that Kamala went from being a progressive prosecutor to suddenly being tough on crime. Yet based on her criticisms of Nikki Haley, Sunny apparently doesn’t like chameleons.

R93, Kamala was in no way a progressive Ca AG. That's why some think she lost a percentage of the black male vote.

Joy just mispronounced Kamala's name. How soon they forget.

Barely paying attention but did Whoopi say "no trans has ever taken a championship" from a bio female? BULLSHIT. The big Olympics boxing scandal with the boxer who said "she" was being targeted and discriminated against has now been revealed as a bio male. He should be stripped of his medal.

Judging by Whoopi’s mispronunciation, I guess New Yorkers also can’t pronounce Italian last names like Coppola correctly.

Teflon Whoopi. In the past week she's described herself as a "working woman who has to work" pissing off working-class people and setting off online outrage and mockery of her ridiculous claim.

Without proof, she publicly accused a bakery of refusing to make her fucking birthday desserts. No apology. No nothing. She just skates as usual. Yeah, just "a working woman" with a celebrity pedigree which instills in her the confidence to accuse the underlings of misconduct. No fear of reprisal because that's the bubble she exists in.

Now little Miss out of touch is schooling us on Trans. Fuck off, Whoopi. She is so out of touch, yet she so proudly and so arrogantly wears the everywoman title. I'm so sick of her talking down to the audience and chastising us as if we're all a bunch of ignorant morons who need her to set us on the right path. She's an ignorant and out of touch celebrity who brings nothing to the table, and I wish they'd get rid of her already.

Thank God for Coppola's segment because the rest of the show was a total waste of time.

Whoopi brought up her popcorn shitck again. She seems to think that is as good as having a point if view.

*of view

R97 = Sean Hannity.

Again, she stated her OPINION on why the UNAMED bakery did not want to make her cupcakes for her (yet they were able to make it when someone other than Whoopi placed the order). What facts does she need when she gave an opinion - not a news report ? Why does she need to issue an apology for sharing her opinion ?

If you MAGAs want to keep defending the bakery, then maybe the bakery should provide proof of when both Whoopi and the other person from the show placed the order for the cupcakes, and proof of the repair bill of when the boiler was actually fixed so that they could bake the cupcakes...and then apologize to Whoopi.

Thank You, Keke Palmer for sharing your profound wisdom with us when you said, "Life's gonna life."

BTW, what is it with Sunny and Keke going back to the mid-1980s and wearing the wigs of black female singers ? Bad enough Sunny won't part with the Whitney Houston wig ("I Wanna Dance With Somebody"), but Palmer decided to wear Donna Summer's "Dinner With Gershwin" wig today ?

Why was Francis Ford Coppola on the show today, promoting his movie which opened in theaters back in September and became one of the biggest box office flops in recent history ? It had a budget of $120M and so far has made $7.6M back (according to IMDB). It got horrible reviews from audiences and critics, and so far has a 4.0/10 rating on IMDB.

Why promote this flop today ?

Did anyone else notice something peculiar about their 'Solitaire Grand Harvest Solitaire $1,000 Give-Away' today at the end of the show ? While Sara and Alyssa were talking about the game, the camera panned the audience in three different shots.

Out of the three, two shots panned to one man sitting in the middle of the shot - a good looking black man in a blue sweater. And whose number was called to win the $1,000 ? The good looking black man in the blue sweater. A little too coincidental. Furthermore, he didn't seem to shocked and surprised when they called his number (37). He stood up and started to cry (allegedly) but showed no surprise nor excitement.

R100, I'm not a MAGA you myopic ass. Take your bakery OCD elsewhere and take your pathetic defense of the indefensible with you.

R102, I believe it's now available to stream so he's probably promoting it for those platforms. I read months ago he wanted it to stand on its own in theater release, but it's called show business for a reason. He needs to try to break even.

R103, I believe those segments are pre-taped before the show airs live. That's why Whoopi always reels out the "you all look so familiar" line every damn time. They probably zeroed in on the winner during the pre-taped camera pan while editing after the fact.

I'm so glad Whoopi derailed the disagreement between Sunny and Alyssa so that she could proselytize on her dull and completely uninformed view.

I don’t agree with Alyssa’s views on most things, but kudos to her for attempting to stand up to the bully ‘let me finish’ Sunny. Sunny reads from her cards. Alyssa doesn’t rely on cards to make her points.

Oh, please R105, Whoopi needs how to learn how to moderate without losing her temper. Then she wastes more time covering her abhorrent behavior by taking time away in the next segment. Unqualified asshole. Oh great, now the high school drop-out is going to school us on education variations in the US. Teachers make a living wage you moron. They make well over six figures in many parts of the country.

Hey Sunny, why don't you talk about low-income area schools in NJ which are funded with tax dollars from affluent areas. They are given more per student than in affluent areas yet their student performance is abysmal. You can throw money at a problem but unless you address the root of the problem you will never see changes in student performance.

R106, Sunny going on about public schools and growing up in the poor, poor Bronx. Her parents moved to a nice area when she was a child so she could attend a PRIVATE school on the upper east side. Alyssa brought this up, but Sunny ignored it because it doesn't fit her narrative.

What's going on with Ronan's tits?

School vouchers are just a discount for rich people for private school tuition. Alyssa is smoking something if they think poor people are going to be able to go to private schools - they can't make up the difference in cost and they are in areas that are typically wealthy and removed from poorer areas.

But the main thing is that you cannot get better schools if education is not a priority for parents and they are not involved. Many parents just don't know how to parent.

At this point - you could make online YouTube classes in parenting a requirement for all new parents. They have to do X videos twice a year and complete tests to prove they watched them - then they get the child credit on their taxes or some sort of benefit.

We've always talked about parenting classes - we could do it online now very easily.

Btw - Ronan is really beautiful - but very short and that brown on brown looks awful.

Sara Haines voted for Trump?!

And what’s with Sunny saying she’s not going to say that she hated that he won? We all know you do.

Sara has been very clear that she voted for Kamala.

R112 You didn’t listen today. She let it slip out discussing Trumps appointments that she’s realizing her vote now has consequences.

Why would she say that if she voted for Harris?

R113 I caught that ! None of the others seemed to have picked up on it, or just ignored this.

Those are fallen women who wear toilet water-we shouldn’t watch them.

Sunny forced to eat her shit on air. It is so nice to see someone so vile be forced to call herself out on her bullshit.

I can't believe anyone can watch this show and take one word seriously. It is like one big spoof.

What bullshit? She had to issue the usual legal note, this time about Matt Gaetz. But nothing she said about Gaetz isn’t true. We all know he’s a scumbag and has paid for sex, banged underage girls, and shown lewd photos on the House floor.

What a waste of time this show has become. During election season they repeated themselves ad nauseam. Fine whatever, they wanted to drill home their points about dangerous Trump, yada, yada, yada.

But now? Every day Sunny repeats the same tired old list of Trump sins and ties them to his staff picks. Everyone knows his cabinet choices are nothing but a douchebro club comprised of sexual offenders. Then there's Whoopi who is sounding more ignorant by the day. Stop wasting segment time with your arrogant speeches. Talk about unfit. She seems like the perfect fit for a Trump appointment.

I just read he's added Marge to his "DOGE" team headed by Musk and Ramaswamy. This new dept. is sounding more and more like the Island of Reject Toys Trump created just to throw a bone to the faithful ass-kissers. The scary part is they could do real damage to people who are essential govt. employees (yes, they exist.) Plus, Greene seems like the type to go after those who have wronged her just like Trump.

R116 Where / when was Sunny forced to 'eat her own shit' on The View ? The clip you linked to proved nothing.

Poor John Lithgow and his movie 'Conclave'. Sara did the Oscar jinx on him when she mentioned, "I'm hearing Oscar buzz..." before discussing the movie.

Katie Couric has a new Meghan McCain interview. I can't even hate watch this shit.

MeAgain said she was one of only two hosts who left on their own and wasn't fired from 'The View' in the past 28 years, something she is proud of. The other host not fired was Meredith Vieria.

So what she's claiming is that Lisa Ling, Candace Cameron Burre, Abby Huntsman were each fired ? Rosie O'Donnell was fired both times ? (Rosie had committed to one year in 2006-07, and left on her own due to personal problems - her daughter Chelsea - in 2015. She was never fired.)

Sunny receiving the Gaetz news while doing the podcast.

R123, I wonder if Sunny thought she might have had a shot at the AG slot if Kamala had been elected.

Former FL AG Pam Bondi is the new choice. Isn't that swell ? Blond bimbo right out of 'central casting'.

R125, more like straight out of FOX News casting.

Sara said very clearly today that she voted for Kamala.

Oh look, Sunny's asking Hakeem Jeffries about racism and sexism being responsible for Kamala's loss. She never learns.

R128, lol, I thought the same thing. He pretty much shut her down. She wastes valuable segment time with these tiresome and repetitive questions. Election racism is the new reparations. Someone should mention to Sunny her beloved bail reform was also a deciding factor for voters.

Black people. Sunny has to mention black people. Black people.

I decided to ask ChatGPT a few questions about reparations. Obviously, and contrary to what Sunny would have you believe, slavery has existed throughout the world for centuries. The US actually abolished it before some European countries. There is not a single instance of a country paying reparations to slaves or their descendants. In fact, the UK paid reparations to slave owners after abolition while Haitians were forced to pay France for their own freedom, a debt that France still refuses to pay back. So good luck with your historic crusade for reparations, Sunny.

R127 She did. And she also said yesterday, when discussing Matt Gaetz as the potential US Attorney General, she said very clearly, "I now realized my vote has consequences." So what consequences did her vote for Harris leave ?

No shows next Thursday or Friday and no podcast next week. Last show of the year is December 19. It then returns January 6.

Sara said while discussing Trump’s appointments “I recognize that due to my vote, this is one of the consequences I’m going to get.” I assume she misspoke and meant a more generic “elections have consequences” statement. She’s been very clear about her support for Kamala.

Ana knows Bondi. They go out drinking.

Ana seems to rationalize bad behavior if she knows someone personally. She did it with Marco Rubio and she's doing it with this bought and paid for nominee.

It's rather glaring when she makes such a big deal about what a scumbag Trump is, yet her drinking buddy accepted an illegal donation from Trump then refused to prosecute him for Trump University fraud claims. Rationalize that one, Ana. They're all bought and sold to some degree and Ana is no different.

Sunny shut her trap when Ana told of her friendship with Bondi.

Can't wait for Sunny to discuss this weekend's picks by Trump. His cabinet is 'a thousand shades of white' (as MSNBC guest and political pundit Jennifer Rubin pointed out) except for Scott Turner - who's the token black man nominated as HUD Secretary (and as Symone Sanders pointed out - there hasn't been a white person in the HUD spot since Clinton, in 1992; always filled by a minority). Sunny's head will explode.

If Sunny's head does explode, I wonder what will spill out. I'm thinking pinata with lots of pieces of dark chocolate in shapes of little black boys and girls whom she will claim no longer have a future with Trump as POTUS. Little peeps in the shape of chickens. Little reparation pamphlets and in the dark recesses of her brain an acceptance speech as the AG in Kamala's cabinet.

The View” host Whoopi Goldberg doubled down on her claim that a Staten Island bakery was not so sweet to her because of her politics.

“There seems to be a lot of talk about the dessert I requested for my birthday show,” Goldberg said on her Instagram page. “I never mentioned the name of the bakery or the location.”

Golderg’s video is an apparent response to the backlash from the Staten Island community and borough politicians demanding that the comedienne apologize for criticizing the bakery in front of a national audience.

This cute guy will show you how to make your own Charlotte Russe cake - just in time for Christmas ! Speaking of which, can I have him naked under my Christmas tree ? (I prefer my men a little more masculine, but damn - he will do fine for 2025).

So next week is Thanksgiving Week... all repeats?

No, the show is live Mon- Wed. Someone posted the schedule above.

Today's guest Danielle Pinnock read the rules in the Green Room that she had to kiss Whoopi's ass, and let her know it was because of Whoopi, she became an actress. Joy commented that everybody tells her that. (There's a reason Joy - if they want to be invited back, they best kiss and lick her ass.)

BTW, whoever thought it was a great idea to dress this 500 pound woman in red leather played a cruel joke on her. Did they not understand the word of the year is 'demure' ? That goes for wardrobes, too.

Sunny said the main reason why 92% of the black women in America voted for Harris was because of January 6. OK Sunny, now tell us why Black Men and the Latino population voted for Trump. Apparently, January 6 was not on their minds.

[quote] OK Sunny, now tell us why Black Men and the Latino population voted for Trump.

It’s because they’re uneducated. Oh wait, I forgot. You can only say that about white women.

Whenever the hosts get these breaks they must immediately run to their cosmetic surgeons for nips, tucks, and fillers.

R144 my first thought was she won't be able to go on the shot for the foreseeable future because of her character on Ghosts. The characters are not allowed to change outfits much less alter their appearances.

R145, Sunny's full of it. She's incorporating Jan 6th into the fight for democracy voter issue.

R148 Danielle Pinnock wears that same ugly dress everywhere she goes in public to 'keep in character' ? Poor thing.

I think Sunny needs to do some research on Latino voters and black male voters for this past election. Maybe she can spend her vacation from 'The View' visiting 'barbershops' in NYC, Miami, Atlanta, Baltimore,...talk to these men, and ask why they went with Trump this time. Then again, she may not like the answers.

Thank you. I live in NYC and a few weeks before the election a friend said all of the men at his mostly black barbershop were talking about how they planned to vote for Trump and making sexist comments about Kamala. Sunny’s narrative that black men would vote for Kamala because they’re raised in matriarchal households was ridiculous. Does she really think black men are immune from misogyny? Has she never seen a rap video?

Sunny knows exactly what she's saying. It's her script and she'll never stray from her narrative. She's a stubborn woman who constantly portrays black and brown people as angels come down from heaven to save the USA.

It was uncomfortable watching her after the election. She refused to listen to reason, and she still portrays the black and Hispanic voter as some Democratic loyalist which is not true. The other day she had to get in her dig about black women being the cornerstone of the Democratic party as if everyone else (especially those "uneducated white women") were all Trumpers voting for RACISM. Or the assertion voters didn't vote for Kamala because of "cultural resentment." She needs a new script, one preferably written in the real word not her psychotic mind.

R151 I remember being a teenager in the '90s when gangsta rap was big and those lyrics and music videos were full on misogynistic, treating women like pieces of meat and calling them "bitches" and "hoes" and saying they're only good for one thing.

And gangsta rap was mainstream!

Also, their constant usage of the "N" word did not go over well with many black folks, either.

A half-hour VYD. This shit's getting ridiculous.

R154, I muted it and wasn't paying attention, they went to commercial, came back and did another segment.

Eating time. Please tell me we don't have to witness Whoopi chewing and speaking at the same time. What nightmares are made of.

Has anyone else notice the show looks different today? It looks as if it's on film and the speed seems off.

I haven’t seen today’s show but yesterday’s was embarrassing. Sunny never missed an opportunity to make every topic about black women while Whoopi goes on long winded rants where she thinks she’s spewing pearls of wisdom but makes it clear just how uneducated, uninformed, cranky, and out of touch she is.

[quote]Danielle Pinnock wears that same ugly dress everywhere she goes in public to 'keep in character' ? Poor thing.

You've never been a black woman suddenly thrust into the spotlight?

Girl, you wear that dress just like Tiffany Haddish @ 3:50

R155 Are you watching on YouTubeTV? I've noticed that on a lot of my channels.

A quick estimation - all that crap Greta was pedaling probably totaled around $20,000 - taking into consideration the 'faux' Black Friday deals and free shipping. If you're going to hawk that crap on television for two segments, for God's sake LEARN what you're so 'excited about' and get rid of the blue index cards. She comes across as nothing more than disingenuous with this shit. I said it before - she needs to learn the products like Adam Glassman does ("Oprah's favorites"). Even Bobby Flay knew what he was talking about with all that food on the table (and I'm sure those were not all his ideas). She's got to learn - if you're going into a store and looking for expensive Christmas gifts, you don't want the sales person reading off dummy cards.

She's an idiot.

They filmed all the shows this week in 1 day though, right? That's probably why they had he extended shopping segments pre-recorded.

You can't ask an audience to sit through 3 shows and all that crap.

R158, no I was watching live on WABC7 NY. I assumed it was recorded but I didn't see the note that pops up on the screen when they sit down at the table to begin their Hot Topics discussion. It looked so different, and I swear they were moving at a slower speed. Did you notice that, too?

I think they were all live. They talked about news headlines each day in HT. When it's recorded, they talk about advice on Redditt, and surveys.

Stopped watching because of Sunny.

I wonder if Sunny only served dark meat for her holiday dinner today ?

I'm watching 'The Madness' on CNN, of which Colman Domingo is the star - he was on the show this past Monday. Sunny and Whoopi loved the show, of course. Throughout the show - which is centered around Domingo, who plays a professional, educated black man surrounded by educated, black professionals.

All they do is drop the 'n' word throughout the series. Sunny is OK with this ?

As long as they aren't white, honey.

Dear Whoopi - shut the fuck up. Thank you.

Watching Matt Rife talk about how much he hates social media when he has a fleet of posters and reposters flying his shit over the Internets is a bit two faced.

But much better than having your in laws finance your Guido Mastrolouca career.

Matt Rife is pretty

I'd fuck him, but I shove a sock in the mouth first.

R170 he was stunning as a brunette. Have to think most of his popularity comes from his looks.

Seems like a nice guy

He's from the Midwest (i.e. Ohio).

They've got pretty men there.

I don't think the people that watch the view really matter in the broader scheme of things. Lots of fraus handringing while they wait to switch out the laundry or to get their diapers changed in the old folks home. I wouldn't pay any network ratings much mind these days.

This show is becoming increasingly unwatchable. Sunny is unhinged in her insistence that Democrats can do no wrong while Whoopi’s ramblings are completely incoherent now.

Alyssa’s MAGA roots were showing yesterday. She must be shitting bricks since her name appeared on Kash Patel’s enemies list.

Weird show today with the return of Abby Huntsman and Rachel Lindsey at the table.

Another round of COVID?

Abby has aged terribly. She was so attractive before she left five years ago. It was interesting how eager she seemed to be to agree with most of what Rachel said about how to look happily married to the public, yet you're no longer happy in the marriage and it's time to quit. I wonder what's going on in her marriage ?

Overall, I did like when she was a host on the show, and wish she'd return and replace Sara.

As for Matt, he made sure he kissed Whoopi's ass and mentioned her movie 'Ghost' .

[quote]Alyssa’s MAGA roots were showing yesterday. She must be shitting bricks since her name appeared on Kash Patel’s enemies list.

Do you think they will talk about this on the show? Do you think Sunny is jealous?

Fucking Whoopi yelling and arguing with the guest, Charlamagne tha God about the Biden pardon and taking over the entire segment. STFU. Now she demands a kiss and make up moment. Biden pardoned his son and did fucking lie about the pardon. If you verbally assert you will not pardon your son, then turn around and pardon your son - THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A LIE. You changed your mind? You still went against your spoken word.

Sunny the law-abiding former federal prosecutor is still rationalizing Biden's pardon. I have lost my patience with these two.

Who is the OP of this thread? Someone certainly can orchestrate this place for it to be self-running, this means the OP is fucking Muriel or Muriels, the pathetic WFH troll that no one loves, I told you so.

I haven’t even seen today’s show but what R179 said is exactly what I complained about upthread—Sunny is going through mental gymnastics to justify everything the Dems do and Whoopi shuts down every conversation with a long winded rant that’s barely coherent. I hope these two get their shit together over the holiday break.

R180, what's a WFH troll?

The Democrats forced Biden off the ticket. He doesn't owe anybody an explanation. He can do whatever the fuck he wants as far as I'm concerned.

I have been the diligent curator and transition monitor for half of The View threads for years.

What is a WFH troll?

[quote] The Democrats forced Biden off the ticket.

Because he’s a fucking senile disaster. He’s lucky no one has invoked the 25th amendment.

Funny how everyone shut up when Biden stepped aside and nobody mentioned how fucked up Grampa Trump is..

Horse, TV, man, woman, pussy...

R186 EXACTLY ! Biden stepped down, and suddenly no one is concerned with a Presidential candidate's old age, senility and dementia. They even vote him into office.

R179, your post was way out of proportion. I kept waiting for a blowup, but it never came.

Simma down nah.

R187, Trump is still sharp.

The democrats never should have had to force Biden off the ticket. He should have decided he wasn't running years ago and let's dems hmhold. Primary.

Instead his handlers tried to install his puppet government and the nation resisted it.

[quote] The democrats never should have had to force Biden off the ticket.

That’s my favorite Whoopi-ism—that she didn’t object to Biden being pushed out but that it should have been done privately and not in public. Bitch, the reason it became public is because the private pressure wasn’t working. The only reason it went public is because he was being a stubborn asshole who continued to insist he was fine despite us all seeing otherwise in that disaster of a debate.

Some observations of today's show...

1. CTG starts off his interview by saying he's from a home where his mother was a Jehovah Witness, and his grandmother was a Baptist, and believes in God. In times like this, you have to pray the 'Serenity Prayer'. Everyone - including Joy - nodded their head in agreement with him.

What happened to the Joy Behar who would mock her cohost Elisabeth Hasslebeck, whenever she would bring up her faith in God, and her belief in prayer ? What happened to Atheist Behar, who would counter EH and say she doesn't believe in God or a Higher Power, and people praying is talking to yourself ? Why didn't Joy counter CTG with these long held beliefs, instead of nodding in agreement with him today ? I guess because he has a more intimidating physical appearance than little EH ever had.

2. CTG stated his argument of why he was not currently aligned with Biden and Democrats, and Whoopi challenged him. But she was awfully kind in her challenge against him, as a matter of fact completely 'kind' in comparison to when she argues with white men who don't align themselves with Biden and Dems (past guests Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, etc.

I don't even know where to begin with Sunny - she sat there and smiled and laughed and engaged with CTG when he called out she made the Trump campaign ads, his opposing thoughts on Biden, and saying she had to apologize for her mistakes on some of the republicans last week (she pointed out they were legal notes, not apologies). Why is it when Christie is sitting next to Sunny and speaks to her like this, she stares down at the table with her pursed lips. No laughing, no smiling, no engaging with him ? I just wonder...

r189, yep, he keeps telling us that...

Elephant, man, woman, TV, pussy...

Forgive me, R188, I suppose I'm one of those silly people who feel a moderator should moderate and not attack a guest. If you feel yelling at a guest and interrupting them to spout their own opinion is considered professional, then I would suppose that exchange was a letdown.

Whoopi was Whoopi, she did not treat him any different than the gals at the table,

Furthermore, he took no offense.

You are creating something that did not happen. Go watch the Moogan episodes.

Nowhere close.

Farty Whoopie is irrelevant. She’s just there filling a seat with her fat ass and farting.

At least she's more engaged than she's been previously. Like she's actually listening to the conversation.

Meghan is shit talking the show again. She really needs to get a life.

Sunny was spotted on the last episode of RHONY rummaging through items at Jenna Lyons’ sale of her old clothes.

[quote]I suppose I'm one of those silly people who feel a moderator should moderate and not attack a guest.

So as one of the five cohosts (in addition to moderating), you don't think Whoopi should participate in the interview segments with guests and offer her 'view' like the other four cohosts ? And she didn't 'attack' anyone - she gave her opinion, which was different than his. That's not an attack, that's been the blueprint of the show since 1997.

But you are correct R194 - you are one of those 'silly people'.

R200, if you can't see how woefully inadequate she is as a moderator that's on you. She is loud, ignorant and she rambles on about subjects she knows nothing about. She is entitled to give her opinion, she is not entitled to raise her voice, cut off the guest and then demand a fucking kiss (which made him look uncomfortable and confused at the same time.)

Why don't you go back to tirelessly defending her attack on a "nameless" bakery because they supposedly didn't want to make her fucking cup desserts for her birthday. That was time well spent. Yup,

Charlamagne tha God wears more eye makeup than my mother.

I hate Alyssa - talking about how we're under Obamacare - Obama care is a plan for people to BE insured. And it was originally a Republican plan because they couldn't get the better plan discussed by Democrats. Then they voted against it.

And shut the fuck up Sara - this assassination WILL change things - it's prompting a discussion. She speaks so authoritatively over a non-substantive statement. I literally could care less about anything white girl blonde Sara has to say - she just goes with the wind and thinking that saying something contrary makes her smart. It's the easiest rhetorical position in the book.

R203, Obamacare is republican trash. L

Meghan McCain is once again speaking out against her former employer and colleagues in a new interview in which she called the ABC talk show “the most dramatic show on the planet.”

In a new interview on 2 Way Tonight, the former View host explained why the ladies on the show are sometimes made to read legal notices on the air, which, according to her account, regularly causes tension behind the scenes. She alleged that it is a way for ABC to protect itself from possible legal retaliation for the things they say on the air.

Offering “a little behind-the-scenes gossip about the show,” McCain said that having to read a legal note on the show is “dramatic because it means you have said something on TV that is a lie and that you could be sued for—that ABC News could be sued for.”

R204, so that is what we are saying to kill medical healthcare for millions if Americans.

It may be Republican trash but there is no replacement. Only more tax cuts for the wealthy.

Let's see what Sunny Hostin's reaction will be about the new legal allegations against Jayzee.

Is she going to say she's "profoundly disturbed" by the allegations he raped a 13 year old girl in 2000 ? As a former federal and state prosecutor who - as she has said in the past - has 'prosecuted hundreds of child sex abuse cases', will she offer unbiased legal comments about Beyonce's husband ?

Toilet Water? Before or after the flush?

Whoopi's new Trump mantra repeated ad nauseam over the past few weeks: "I'm not worried." His mantra is "Fight, fight, fight." What is wrong with this woman? Trump is telling us he thinks his perceived enemies should be jailed and she just sits there spewing her pearls of idiocy. Whoopi, as Maya Angelou famously said, when someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.

His latest grift: Not surprisingly called Fight, Fight, Fight, $199 for a couple bucks worth of toxic chemicals available in cologne and perfume form courtesy of China. God Bless America.

Did Whoopi just say we all have at least one relative in prison? I've never had in prison. Always through her prism. Great moderator yet not.

Daniel Penny NOT GUILTY. I wonder if they'll discuss this before the end of the show. Sunny will be livid.

This pre-emption went to the end of the show. Remember when Sunny presented Neely as this poor soul who was hungry and begging for food on the train? Now Neely's father is saying the system is rigged. Go sit with Trump.

Whoopi is crazy. Too much of the reefer.

Nothing on Jay Z? Interesting. I guess super Beyonce fan Sunny didn't want to touch that.

Meanwhile, they've covered numerous topics on Taylor Swift.

Nope - nothing on Jayzee. The morning talk shows gave this some coverage, but not these ladies.

A whole day of hot topics and still no Jay-Z. We did get to hear Sunny trot out her talking points about how totally not dangerous mentally ill in the subway are, which is always good for a laugh since she probably hasn’t set food in a subway in decades.

I'm so tired of Sara - 'some people in UHC said he wanted to change things' - you gonna BELIEVE that PR shit Sara? He made it WORSE with the AI tool with 90% error rate.

They're all so out of touch - I can't believe none of them brought up America's reaction to this and dismiss it as 'awful'.

I'll tell you this - I wouldn't care if Sara or Alyssa get gunned down in the street either.

Sunny always used to speak about her fear of her son being taken out by a white cop. Statistically he's more likely to be taken out by a black criminal. Would she have been so supportive of Neely if her son had been trapped in that car? Would she have told him to carry an extra sandwich in case a mentally unbalanced person started screaming for food and water? Would she have advised him to give the guy a hug when he began pacing up and down the car yelling, he wasn't afraid to die and began threatening to kill those in the car?

She and Whoopi were ridiculous today. Whoopi with her heavy sighs and putting down Penny for celebrating his vindication after a hellish year. I don't blame the guy. They intentionally tried to cast him in a bad light while they played a long clip of Andre Zachary, Neely's father, calling the system crooked complete with photos of a much younger Neely in MJ get-up. Yeah, that kid in the photo was not the same man on the train that day.

Now the father is suing Penny in civil court. Where the hell was he when his son was tossed into foster care after the murder of his mother at the hands of her boyfriend? He let that kid down but now he's front and center to stir unrest all in the name of the almighty buck. But hey, Whoopi and Sunny obviously have their priorities, and it has nothing to do with fairness or justice.

Sara was definitely on Penny's side, but she had to choose her words carefully or face the wrath of Sunny. Twice she mentioned that Neeley punched a 67 year old woman in the face on the subway in a past incident, and both times Sunny dismissed that with "But no one knew about that when this happened". So that makes it okay ?

Sara is an apologist for her racist, white supremacist, Iowa family.

Legally, it does matter r217. If the guy didn't know about the victim's record of violence, his actions could be seen as excessive.

R218 - she's taken a much sharper turn after the election and has become buds with Alyssa it seems like.

I've literally never heard a word come out of Sara's mouth that was profound or new - but she speaks with such authority like straight white women from Iowa would do to make themselves heard and part of the conversation.

The marine knew that hold should only be for a few seconds and he held it for 2 minutes. It's negligent homicide.

Sunny also keeps insisting Neely just said he was hungry and didn’t threaten anyone. But everyone on the subway has said they were afraid of him so she’s twisting the facts to fit her narrative.

R221 - doesn't give you the right to kill someone - or tackle them. Call police.

That guy is not a hero.

I didn’t say that. I just said Sunny isn’t being totally honest about what happened.

I'd like to know how Sunny would feel if Neely sat next to her daughter Paloma on the subway and whispered "Someone's going to die here" (or whatever he was saying), or punched her in the face like he did the 67 year old ? Would she say Paloma should have given him a sandwich ?

Last night on MSNBC, there was talk about how important 'border control' was in this election. The newest results from the election shows only 20% of registered Latino voters voted for Harris, while a whopping 80% voted for Trump - something which has stumped the Democrats. 'Closing the border' was the prominent issue for Latinos in America.

So will Sunny ever admit that Latinos are the main fault for Harris losing ? She wants to spew that Black Women were the majority who voted for Harris, but continues to ignore Black Men went with Trump and Latinos went with Trump (she tries to blame white people).

R225, there's a lot of "I got mine so to hell with you" mentality among Hispanics and others who have come to this country. Obviously, all those who voted for Trump are not immigrants but I'm sure many naturalized citizens cast their vote for him.

FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF THE SHOW DEDICATED TO KISSING WHOOPI'S ASS. Move the fuck on. She's speaking as if she just accepted another Academy Award.

Kimberly Guilfoyle on Greece: "I mean, nobody likes freeloaders," and then added, "It doesn't matter if you made great yogurt. I don't care." This was in reference to the debt crisis some years back. This should go over well with the Greek government.

It's gross that they're supporting Kim with this unwarranted ambassadorship.

This has been the WORST week for them - all of their takes has been such a turn off.

I've really kind of soured on this show since the election. After nearly a decade of Trump's antics, what is there possibly left to say? It's just the same shit over and over again. And no amount of analysis, criticism, or outrage changes a fucking thing.

R228, you've tired of Whoopi referring to him as "You Know Who?"

Or Sunny prefacing every comment with "The twice impeached...?"

Or maybe Joy's incessant the sky is falling warnings about Trump which seem to preach to the choir but fall on deaf ears with everyone else?

Then we have Republican Ana up on her Evita balcony over-acting and building to a screeching crescendo with every Trump comment.

Over to Alyssa, a Republican who also happens to be on his enemies list. Fun times for a woman going through IVF treatment. No stress there.

And finally, Sara who some here hate because she has the audacity to be not only white but also a natural blonde. So of course, anything she has to say is dismissed or is accused of coming from a viewpoint of "white privilege." SSDD.

R228 - I think that sums up the slump in many shows - TV or radio - that isn't right-wing. We need a fucking break from this - and nothing said right now will change anything.

But they've been really bad this week - just completely tone-deaf.

Or maybe ABC turns on Fox as the used car salesman who sold the nation a LEMON.

The major ass-kissing of Whoopi in the opening of Hot Topics was nauseating. She never said 'thank you' for the compliments to any one of them. She just sat their smugly, since she was expecting the ass kissing. I guess it's in her contract she'd get a full-on ass kisstreatment from all four of them before the show goes on hiatus in another week. I'm most shocked that Sara didn't say she's 'hearing Tony buzz' for Whoopi. Sounds like Sunny had to have a bottle of wine to sit through the show ?

Once again they are promoting the 'weight loss' injection drugs as they did this past summer. Yes, Whoopi was 300 pounds two years ago and now she's about half that size all because of the 'miracle drug' Mounjaro.

What she and the others ARE NOT mentioning is the fact that you have to stay on the drug the rest of your life - not just till you hit your goal weight. Nor are they mentioning the side effects some people are now suffering such as pancreatitis, hypoglycemia, gall bladder disease, and possible thyroid cancer. This is the cast which covers their asses with 'legal notes' after talking about controversial legal issues. They should be more honest and transparent when discussing these drugs.

R232 - they're all quiet because Ana and Sunny are also on it. They were MUCH bigger 2 years ago as well - Whoopi wasn't the only one taking it.

Not sure about Joy - she doesn't look any different. I wouldn't be surprised if Sarah takes it to stay so thin.

Joy may not look any different weight-wise but I'd certainly like to take a better closeup look at her facelift. She looks nowhere near 80+. The doc that did that lift did an amazing job.

She never has had a facelift. Joy has admitted to fillers and Botox, but she has never had a face lift. She also has naturally smooth wrinkle-free skin, which she credits as genetics from her mother's side.

[quote]She never has had a facelift.

Blacks live in fear of keloid scars and usually opt for procedures rather than surgeries.

R235, I recall her saying she would never get a facelift because she was afraid of any type of surgical procedure. She said this on The View years ago so maybe there's a clip somewhere.

So Darlene Love stopped singing her signature XMas song on The View because the producers wanted her to share her song with other performers?

Whoopi or Sunny couldn't stand up for this legend and demand she get treated with respect she deserves? Interesting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"When I did The View, they wanted me to sing with other people ... not just sing the song by myself, but sing it with other people," Love recalls, saying that creative direction "started limiting me, the whole song. And then people didn't like that."

Despite this, Love maintains there was "no animosity" involved in leaving The View, while lamenting "I think it's funny ... with me, people don't think I'm supposed to move on."

"I was not unhappy. I mean, I love all the ladies. As a matter of fact, me and Whoopi [Goldberg] are very good friends. It was just a time, I think, just to make that decision," she shares. "You don't want nobody making any kind of decisions for your career. I've done it now for 60 years, so I ought to know."

It was time for her to leave - it was getting rather tired after nine years. She needed a new audience and they need a new entertainer (where's Mariah Carey these days ?).

Dr. Brandt was Joy's doc for many years. Wonder who she uses now.

JFC is there a more uninformed person on TV than Whoopi? Today she said there was a constitutional age limit for the Presidency. Upon learning there isn’t, she exclaimed “then what was all that talk about someone being too old?” Does she even bother to attend the Hot Topics meetings? Because her contributions always show that she puts zero effort into being prepared for whatever is being discussed.

Sunny attended the White House Christmas party and of course had her photo taken next to a painting of Obama. Ana then one-upped her by saying she attended Kamala's holiday party.

Unbelievable. Whoopi declares there is an age limit on the presidency. No one corrects her until it's Ana's turn to speak. She then explains to Whoopi there is an age requirement but no age limit. Then idiot Whoopi says well then why does everybody bring it up? Maybe because Biden and Trump are carbon dated. Fucking moron should be replaced with someone who has a working understanding of politics and current events.

Sunny once again mentioning growing up in "abject poverty." Your parents got the hell out of there when you were young then sent you to private school. Fuck off with your reimagined childhood.

Sara Haines talking about something or another stopped herself and said, "I sound like a middle aged woman".

At 47, you are one Sara. You are.

R243, I thought Alyssa said that.

Yes, I want to see a Supreme Court Justice on stage acting like a moron. What the fuck has happened to this country and its standards? Fame whore must be a new requirement and qualification for SCJ.

It’s interesting that even with prompt cards, cue cards, teleprompters, ear pieces, co-hosts and having lived in the world for almost 70 years, the Whoopster is still baffled by basic facts and process.

I love how the East Coast DLoungers live stream The View for us West Coasters to pay attention to later.

I actually like the updates and do not consider them spoilers.

I thought it was Sara saying something about yelling at her kids, R244.

I totally agree, R244. I think it’s embarrassing behavior for a SCJ and you can guarantee if it was a conservative justice doing it, the panel would be railing about it being beneath the dignity of the court. Instead, Whoopi is advocating for KBJ to also live her dream of appearing on Sesame Street. If Brett Kavanaugh announced his dream of appearing on Hot Ones, would they be doing the same?

[quote]beneath the dignity of the court.

When every male member of the court has engaged in criminal activity, in one way or another, this is like criticizing SCJ Kagan for someone sending her bagels. You, and the ladies of The View, need to learn what a False Equivalency is.

I didn’t say I think it’s beneath the dignity of the court. But it Amy Coney Barrett was on stage making a fool of herself, do you think the ladies of The View would find it as endearing? My point is that they’re total hypocrites.

And my point is that it is a false equivalency when the men on the court are so publicly corrupt.

Amy made a fool of herself when she lied about Stare Decisis and then shit canned Roe as settled law.

Again, a False Equivalency.

More like Governor Tim Walz doing a video on changing a car water pump.

I love that Cunt Sunny was snubbed by Kamala. I can't believe the white house would even invite her after she helped torpedo the campaign. Kamala is less petty than me because I would have banned her smug ass STAT.

Whoopi is a moron. Biden was force to step down because he has dementia or altzeimers. Not because hes old.

You can’t tell me Sunny isn’t feeling a certain way about the Kamala-Ana friendship. At the beginning of the campaign , Sunny clearly thought she was going to be Queen Bee but Ana strutted right past her and got into Kamala’s inner circle without breaking a sweat.

R252 Jill probably made sure Sunny got invited because of that fiasco. There has been a noticeable ick in the air between the Biden Harris coalition.

R247, could be. I only half listen to this show anymore. But I did hear Alyssa say she acts like a middle-aged woman when surveying what's going on in her neighborhood.

Do they all live in the suburbs?

I love the fact that Ana made it crystal clear she went to the Kamala Christmas party this past weekend, the one which only 'close friends and family' were invited to. Sunny must've shit a brick sitting there - she went to the Kamala Christmas party the week before where (it seems) just about 'everybody' could attend.

Sunny can't wait for her 'college kids' to come home for the holidays. Maybe she'll sit them down and have 'the difficult conversation' with them about the dangers of attending 'freak-offs' hosted by Black male music moguls ?

R256 Joy and Sara both live in Manhattan apartments. Joy also has a summer home in the Hamptons.

Anna lives in an apartment in Miami. I believe she said she also has a place in Manhattan.

Sunny lives in Greenwich County, CT in an old farmhouse. Not sure what town in the county she lives in, but Greenwich county has the most wealthy zipcodes in the country.

Last I heard on the show, Whoopi has her farmhouse home in VT but also keeps a residence in NJ, close to Manhattan.

Sara moved to NJ a few years ago. I think to Short Hills?

R258, you couldn't be more off.

Sara moved to the NJ suburbs. She and her family reside in a house.

Ana and her husband have a house not an apartment, in Miami.

Sunny lives in Purchase, NY which is in Westchester County. And keeping in line with Sunny's race obsession I believe it's an upscale community but racially diverse.

R260 I guess I haven't kept up in the past couple of years. Thanks for the update.

How do they all get to work every morning?

R261, you're welcome. I guess if you don't watch regularly you don't pick up little bits of info they drop during Hot Topics. Sometimes they show photos, like Ana did earlier today and it's easy to tell she lives in a house.

R262, I believe the show provides a driver for each of the co-hosts.

[quote]How do they all get to work every morning?

Joy has a Harley.

And Abby Huntsman must be living in NYC in order for a producer to call her to fill in on a moment's notice.

I thought she moved back to Utah to work on daddy's last Campaign?

Abby going to work for her dad’s campaign was just an excuse for her to get away from Meghan.

I am beginning to worry about Sarah.

She has changed her makeup.

Is she is beginning to look like a Fox/MAL bimbo?

I worry for her lips...

I worry about Sarah's hair. It often looks as if she walked 40 blocks to work on a hot, humid day.

When they were discussing Santa, and talking to their kids about Santa, I was waiting for Sunny to tell us when she had 'the conversation' about Santa with her kids, and explained to them that black Santa visits black families, Latino Santa visits Latino families, and mixed Santa visits mixed families. She disappointed me.

I was also waiting for Sara to tell Tyler Perry she's been hearing 'Oscar buzz' for his new movie. She disappointed me.

Whoopi said 'If you can't read it, you shouldn't be eating it'. There are those who agree, and also say 'If you can't read it, you shouldn't be injecting yourself with it to lose weight.'

R269, may I add if you can't read the damn teleprompter or the fucking cards in your hands you shouldn't be moderating a talk show.

A day of idiocy and ass-kissing. What Joy? She's now saying Biden should have retired earlier so they could hold primaries for a Dem nom in '24. But Joy you always insisted since you were the same age, he was more than capable of doing another four years.

Whoopi, Joy and Sunny oblivious as always when the Dems begin to move back to the middle with Gerry O'Connell as head of the Oversight Committee while AOC twists in the wind. No Joy, AOC is not another FDR. The only thing they have in common is they're both referred to by their initials.

Kerry Washington comes to kiss the ring. Bow-down to Whoopi complete with photos and two segments. One too many.

Nikki Glaser also gets two segments because part of it is devoted to kissing Whoopi's ass about hosting duties complete with photos. I can imagine the pre-interview questions with the producers harassing the guests to come up with a six degrees of Whoopi affiliation. Now Whoopi once again brings the convo to a dead halt with her pearls of wisdom for Nikki and her upcoming gig as host of The Golden Globes. She's always trying to relive her glory years through C-List guests who get booked on the show.

Heh, Alyssa and Sunny paired again for the 12 Days of Whatever giveaway. Play nice, girls.

WTF with this weird Boston Celtics dance to Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. Have I had a stroke?

Whoopi is insufferable. She ends every topic by loudly jumping in to shut down whatever is being said with some nonsensical rant that's delivered as if it is the one true opinion. Meanwhile in reality her ramblings are barely coherent and just reinforce how ill informed, ill prepared, and ill suited she is for this show. And let's not even get into the fact that while the others all happily participate in ancillary activities related to the show, Whoopi acts as if they're lucky to have her. I wish they'd send her packing just to see the full on fucking meltdown she'd have in the press.

Watched the first segment of the show today. When they came back from commercial and has Kerry Washington on, off went the tv.

I read a comment elsewhere that put Whoopi down and the other commenters jumped on this person insisting Whoopi was by far the "biggest star" at the table. Buy a fucking clue. She's an EGOT former A-Lister who couldn't get arrested when Barbara took pity on her and gave her the job.

Of course she's the biggest star at the table, it's a fucking daytime talk show hosted by political talking heads (Alyssa) Journalists (Sara) Comic relief (Joy) and Attorneys (Sunny, Ana) And then there's the has-been know-it-all who is too damn arrogant to bother keeping up with the news.

I wonder what the other women think when she goes off on one of her ignorant tangents full of half-truths and misinformation. They just sit there acting like school kids while the teacher spews forth. You can see they know she's once again putting her foot in her mouth but they're either too polite or too afraid to correct her. At least Ana stepped up the other day to explain to her there is no age limit for POTUS. Please tell us again about the Holocaust, oh wise teacher. I guess she was given the role of moderator to appease her huge ego because she is so not moderator material.

I recall years ago Whoopi saying she would give Joy a kidney because it was Joy who suggested Barbara Walters hire Whoopi for the show.

I can't believe they devoted four time slots over two days to promote the Tyler Perry movie. Why not have Perry and Washington on TOGETHER on one day and do two time slots ? Thank you, Kerry, for smooching Whoopi's ass - we know it's in the instructions on the table in the green room.

It looked rather awkward when Nikki Glaser came to the table and everyone there guffawed at everything she said (Sara had to stretch her head back and let out a hearty laugh so we can see the roof of her mouth). The only one not laughing was the head comedienne at the table: Whoopi. She sat there observing, with her chin in her hands. She wasn't finding Nikki all that funny.

A message to Sunny: Thanks for telling us what 'young Democrats want' and how AOC wants to deliver. But let's get to the nitty-gritty: tell us why Latinos decided to vote for Trump instead of Harris, and did so in droves. Take a look at those stats and get back to us.

Hats off to the cute twunk dancing with the Celtics dancers. Hopefully, he's making money as an exotic dancer at gay clubs and doing some 'escort' work as well.

Gen Z white men (incels) voted for Trump by 67%.

Pretty sure tomorrow is the last live episode of the year and that Friday is a pre-taped holiday episode.

I loved that when Sunny said "crime is down," Sara responded with "but that's not people's lived experience." Sunny is always quick to point out that she knows best on issues of race due to her own "lived experience," which she uses to shut down any disagreement. Naturally, she just grimaced and said nothing in response to Sara here. Meanwhile, "lived experience" may be one of the dumbest wokeisms of all time. What experiences aren't lived experiences? It's a stupid and redundant phrase.

Sunny is a huge defender of bail reform. It's all about repeat offenders who commit a crime then walk out of the police station an hour later to re-offend. She knows damn well what is happening all over NYC, yet she plays dumb because bail reform benefits minorities.

I was watching the news earlier, I believe Hochul is sending in hundreds from the National Guard into the subways. They were interviewing a woman who rides the subway, the reporter told her crime was down. She said well it doesn't feel that way. Heh.

[quote]Meanwhile, "lived experience" may be one of the dumbest wokeisms of all time. What experiences aren't lived experiences? It's a stupid and redundant phrase.

Other people's 'lived experiences' are not mine nor yours. They are experienced by other people, but not by me so it doesn't make it 'my lived experience' nor my experience at all.

You can replace “lived experience” with just “experience” and it means exactly the same thing.

Frankenstein episode. Stitched together complete with disappearing and reappearing co-hosts. Whoopi is on today and then not and then on again. Same with Ana. I don't believe they announce "Coming up live on The View" anymore. I also don't see the pre-recorded message as they sit down at the table. I wonder if they lose viewers if the viewers realize it's not a live.

Jamie Lee Curtis who rails against the Beauty Complex looks amazingly refreshed. Maybe it's just The View makeup team who perform miracles on a daily basis.

Ana brought Cha Cha with her. I wonder if she has to crate that poor dog in storage during the flight.

Sunny has Winner and Loser glasses made up for game night. Tell me her kids don't have nervous tics up the wazoo.

Black Santa. Where's Megyn Kelly when you need her?

Jordin Sparks singing and talking. I haven't a clue what the hell is going on.

Photos of the crew. More than a few gay couples.

I read Darlene Love bailed on her annual tradition of singing at The View because they wanted her to sing Christmas, Baby Please Come Home with other popular artists. Nope. Off to Jimmy Fallon!

Merry Christmas!

They replaced Darlene Love with Jordin Sparks?! Has she done anything in the last decade?

r283, it seems that you should stop watching TheV if it creates such agita.

Save yourself and change the channel.

They should have just let Darlene perform the song solo without the co hosts cheesing in the background i hate that.

R284 If you listened to her answer their questions (can't blame you if you didn't) she said something about finding her power, owning herself and speaking her truth in the course of the past ten years. She left me scratching my head, asking 'what the fuck?'
