Everyone But Whoopi Fired From The View

Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy found out yesterday their contracts with The View will not be renewed. Immediately Barbara Walters and Rosie O'Donnell said they would step in and join Whoopi if they were asked. The show has seen its ratings plummet since McCarthy was added last year. I think just about everyone knew that adding McCarthy was a bad idea and when you throw in all the issues that Sherri is going through, it was just too much to overcome. Also fired were some executives on the show. I would assume that a bunch of guest hosts will be shuttled through to see how they perform and interact with Whoopi and that it will be similar to what Kelly Ripa did when she was searching for a new co-host. Bring everyone in and see who resonates with the audience.

      Like the direction your thoughts have gone, Unknown.
      That show wasn't about their opinions , originally. No one cared.
      It was always about 5 opinionated women duking it out on Nat'l TV.
      It's when they started believing their hype, that things went sugar to sh*t for the viewer..

      I really liked Behar. I think she was a huge loss to the show. I'm no fan of Rosie, but I did like watching her piss off Hasselbeck. Perhaps hiring relatively unknowns would be a good step.

    I think Whoopi is an intelligent woman. I don't watch the show, but from bits that I have seen, Joy Behar and Whoopi were the only ones who seemed to know what they were talking about.

    Ann C would certainly be controversial she would be like Hasselback only she is good at throwing the snark back.

    They need to bring back some real journalist that are actually educated & intelligent.

    Elizabeth was really who ruined the show for me. Stupid, uneducated, & over emotional. Sherri's is a hypicrite with a massive ego. Claims to be a good Christian & Mom. Had so many abortions, she doesn't even know, had to have IVF to have her special needs son, who she doesn't have anything to do with.

    like her or don't-but she is far from stupid

    there are MANY things I don't agree with Whoopi on- most of all her stance on Roman P. and Woody A. But I don't think she is stupid either. when it's a panel of women they are always accused of being stupid. I'm sick of that attitude. Us women should be standing up for each other-not tearing each other down. would you feel the same if it were a panel of men?

    Three points.

    B) If Jenny thinks that Donnie Whalbutthead is going to support her, she's Nuckin' Futs!

    C) It's time to put 'The View' out of OUR misery. Have ABC bring back game shows during daytime. How about a revival of "The Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour" with Jeff Dunham and Tom Bergeron?

    I haven't tuned into or been remotely intersted in this show since the Rosie days (I found Barbara's constant self-promoting and humble brags and the rest of the cast's ass kissing of her to be entirely insufferable) but I LOVE Whoopi Goldberg. She and I pretty much hold completely different views on just about everything but I can't help it. I've adored the woman since I was little and saw Sister Act and Jumping Jack Flash! Lol. (And don't even get me stared on The Color Purple ❤️)

    Whatever they do, they should NOT let Barbara come back; we finally just got rid of her for f**k's sake. I say let Whoopi chose who fills the rest of the seats be it via guest spots or her immense roster of showbiz friends. It says a lot that she's the only one who survived the massive cut. Whoopi's awesome.

    McCarthy too hot for morning talk, and the fact that she is a whore turns some broads off.

    Did anyone really think Babawawa would stay away? It was so dumb to have the retirement BS! I knew she'd want to come back on, I didn't think so soon.

    Whoopi. I'm on tbe fence. I like some things about her, sometimes I get really annoyed. People say she's very nice and really chill.

    Sometimes Joy irritated me too. Although I think she's a funny comedian.

    I hope they don't bring men on, but they say they're heading in new directions and it seems obvious that means men. I prefer the cacing hens, with a man thrown in as a guest host occasionally.

    Heck. Bring in Baldwin. That will mix things up. Just leave the attention ho at HOme.

    I think it's just time for it to go. I think the biggest problem with The View right now is pretty much the same problem gripping most of the country. We've just generally become intolerant of points of view other than our own. Granted I'm only 27, but I can't remember a time when the US was as divided as it is now. I think the only reason The Talk is so popular is they avoid all of the hot button issues they discuss on The View.

    Hasselback was as ignorant and petulant in her last year as her first. Perfect example here on Mediaite, which is no friend of the left. If anything, most of the GOP agreed with Lipton at the time.
    http://www.mediaite.com/tv/the-views-elisabeth-hasselbeck-fumes-as-james-lipton-criticizes-mitt-romney/

    Smart people can disagree and make good television. Stupid people become shrill; mean people become vitriolic. They have to be able to find someone better for the conservative perspective than her without hiring someone who is hateful just to sell books (Coulter).

    A good thing to fire them both. The show absolutely got lousy without Joy Behar. Her absence is the one that hurt the show? She was fast, funny, and smart. Whoopi, Babs, and Joy were the only ones who actually knew about the topics they discussed and likely could talk without cards to read. Those other dodo brains have no clue. Rosie would be fine but doubt they'll bring her back. Kathy griffin is perfect- the spark they need but Babs hates her so doubt she'd ever permit her to be on. Someone new is calling the shots there bc every day they trash Hillary. The show is looking like Fox & Friends. Whoopi is so rolling her eyes all the time and there for the check. They will no doubt go with a conservative Hispanic female. Can't believe you said Ann Coultet. Yes, she's smart, but I think too smart to believe most of what she says. She called the Dem 9/11 widows harpies who were glad their husbands were dead if I recall correctly. See you next Tuesday!
