I went to a Friday taping during my visit in mid May.  Whoopi was off and Joy was the moderator.  As I have mentioned previously, I am no fan of Joy, so for me, the taping just dragged and dragged.  It didn't help that this new crew has little appeal to me.  If the show is doing as good in the ratings as they claim, then they should pay Whoopi what she wants.  For me, she is the only thing making The View the least bit interesting.

Anyone catch today? Interesting Paula moderated (who I enjoyed by the way).

I've always liked her as moderator.  I wish she can take over moderator duties over Joy on Fridays.

I can't stand Paula.  She brings nothing and s boring. Joy is my favorite.   BTW; Joy was on the Andy Cohen show last night.  Loved it.

I think Paula is basically the second backup moderator. Whoopi's usually not there on Fridays and it just so happened that Joy took off as well. I've never seen Sunny, Sarah or Jed moderate; though I don't watch every day.

Friday's episode was quite nice. So was Thursday as Joy was out then, too, but I'm not exactly a fan of hers.

Season 20 wrapped today, last rumors I heard were Paula would be back but wanted to be guaranteed Fridays, Whoopi wants to go to 3 days a week if she doesn't get paid more.

I hope they don't mess with this current cast.  The show has seen growth in the ratings - some of the highest in years. If Whoopi only wants to show up 3 days a week, no need to fill her seat. Paula can continue to do Fridays.

Whoopi is for sure back, just not sure under what conditions.

I had figured if Whoopi wasn't coming back, some kind of send of would have happened this week. If they won't pay her more, then let her only do 3 shows a week. Have Paula locked in for Friday's and then whatever other day Whoopi wants off.

Yes, Whoopi signed on for Season 21! I think 21 may be the first season which they won't have any new cast members / changes. Once they got rid of Candace and Raven, this season found it's footing and got much better.
