A New "View" Starts Today

[ucjrdude902]

The best part is, "When they did finally come and talk to me, I said, “I wish the show the best. But you did lose your happiest employee.”

Unconfirmed rumor that Whoopi wants out now .

And the link is now gone.  Hmm.

[ACL2006]

well, Whoopi's contract has one more year, so she better start fighting ASAP to get out of it before the new season starts. I believe the new season is scheduled to start Sept. 7.

[ucjrdude902]

I have friends at The View and I can tell you I wouldn't be shocked if this were true. She loved Wallace and was very upset she was let go.

Sam Rubin , the entertainment reporter on KTLA  mentioned it this morning.   

[ACL2006]

without Whoopi, the show would have nothing to stand on & I would only imagine would quickly be cancelled. Honestly, who would tune in to watch Raven, Michelle, Candace, Paula & Sherri??

[gcal]

They just tweeted that Joy will be back next season, along with Whoopi, Raven, Michelle, DJ Tanner, and Paula Faris.

[DAME]

They still need to get rid of Raven.  I can't watch her. 

[Jane2]

I agree, Dame. She's a main reason I quit the show.

[ACL2006]

so are they having 6 co-hosts each day?? Or are the 6 of them basically rotating??

[ljay889]

Yeah, 6 seems like a bit much. I wish they would clarify whether they will be rotating or not.

[ucjrdude902]

From my understanding from talking to my friends at the show there will be 6 at the table (giving these 6 the opportunity to do other projects and not have to have numerous fill in co-host) but if need be the contributors will step in. However, if the table is "full" the contributors will be just that, contributing. Segments here and there based on their specialities.

I can tell you this. Joy Behar was a solid no. Then they let Wallace go and knew to keep Whoopi happy and around she needed a buddy. 

[Luscious]

It's the only good decision they've made recently. That and going live on Fridays. But I still won't watch because of Raven Symone and Candace Cameron Bure. They're both insufferable. And Whoopi isn't far behind.

[ucjrdude902]

Don't be surprised if Raven is out after this year. Just my opinion but I see Joy keeping her in check ALOT. 

[ucjrdude902]

Don't be surprised if Raven is out after this year. Just my opinion but I see Joy keeping her in check ALOT. 

[ACL2006]

I'm expecting Whoopi to leave after this season since her contract will be up. I think ABC drags the show along with it's 20th anniversary and then it'll be gone.

[lovepuppy]

I bet the "6 hosts" including "Joy returning" decisions are related to the "5 live tapings a week including Fridays," because Whoopi probably demanded to keep a 4-day workweek in order to stay, amid all that madness.  She'll probably be off on Fridays, just watch.

[FindingNamo]

They have to stop pitching it as a "revamp " every September as long as that lump Whoopi "Let me tell ya bout The View. I show up. I leave. I get a check." Goldberg is sitting there. She's not part of the solution.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I miss the Whoopi I loved when I was a kid, the Fontaine - Why Am I Straight?  Whoopi. 

[FindingNamo]

You and me both. 

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I had that taped off HBO and I had the cassette tape.  I loved it so much.  She brought up Baby Jessica and reminds people she's the baby that fell in a well.  When the audience gasps at the way she described her, she responded, "I didn't push her. The bitch fell" which I found so terribly funny.  

[FindingNamo]

Loved that. 

[DAME]

Further shakeup at The View.  Executive producer is fired.

[ucjrdude902]

Works for me. Candi has a good resume. 

[ACL2006]

I still say Whoopi leaves after this season since her contract is up. Someone else from the new co-host batch will also leave or quit midseason. ABC scrambles again in the offseason to get a big name to replace Whoopi. Ratings drop to a new low for the 20th season and ABC is forced to cancel the show.
