Filed under: TV News > Barbara Walters

This just in!

Barbara Walters announced on The View this morning that they would be announcing a second new co-host on Monday (September 10th).

Speculation has been that the new addition would be actress Sherri Shepard, but she reportedly was holding out for more money.

Were they able to come to an agreement or has Babs picked someone else? We'll find out on Monday!

      I HOPE THIS IS AN EFFORT TO EVENTUALLY TOTALLY REPLACE ELISABETH HASSELBECK

      WHEN DO THEY GET RID OF THAT LITTLE FAR RIGHT REPUBLICAN ASSHOLE?

      UGGHH THE THOUGHT OF ANOTHER ELISABETH OFFSPRING OUT THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH TO HANDLE

      SHE RUINS THE SHOW FOR ME WHEN SHE VOICES HER STUPID AND VERY GREEN OPINION OF THE WORLD

      It doesn't matter who they bring on…the show sucks this year. Rosie breathed life into that old fartbags show last year, and how does Babs repay her?? By bad mouthing her!! I met Babwa and she was a stuck up bitch….all she is concerned with is being polictically correct. Her and her boy toy "The Viewmaster" should quit while they can…and start planning which nursing home they are gonna retire to….I hate the View…and especially hate Elisabitch….puke!

    21. balancing says – reply to this


      21

      if they want to make the show interesting or at least "balanced", whether
      she likes it or not, she needs to have another republican on.
      It's always Hasselback against the other 3 or 4 and that's not remotely
      balanced considering our country is divided pretty much 50/50. Preferebly, someone from a different ethnic group.

      I hope its Kathy Griffin. She is scheduled to be on Larry King Live and Ellen in the next week. I don't think she would promote another show like the view but who knows?

      THANK you for mentioning their god-awful new set! What the hell were they thinking? GOLD? ALL GOLD? It looks horrible on non HD TV's and now there are a ton of things they can't wear! Today they were almost wearing the exact same outfits.

      Why the frick did they change from that totally cool set to this ugly one?

      Re: Lauren Spell – you're an idiot. learn how to listen and comprehend. she wasn't defending. she was encouraging getting the problem at its source, before more people get into the practice of dog abuse.

      34

      To #22 - how about another Repub from a different planet? Ann Coulter perhaps?
      I stopped watching when Ro departed. MAY start watching again once Elizabitch gets the ouster.

      The View could have had stellar
      ratings but the one person they did not
      choose as a host now will have his own show
      on VH1 September 11 at 9PM, Tuesday! :-)

    37. Atticus says – reply to this


      37

      Re: JiggaJoe – Maybe the set designer is secretly trying to destroy the show? I’m sure Babs likes the set and no one is brave enough to say it’s ugly and old, but it’s not even cool old (as in retro) it’s bad old (as in tired). Of course Live with Regis and Kelly have has an ugly set for twenty years and they’re still going strong. Maybe a cool set isn’t important? Or maybe the View is just pandering to their older audience and they don’t care about the younger crowd who started watching the show when Ro was on? Who knows?

      38

      Whoopi, first day on "The View," defends dog-fighting dog-torturer Michael Vick because it's part of "southern culture?" Not it's not. It's underground and illegal. Whoopi is either utterly misinformed, or a racist liar for defending this slime because he's black. Barbara? Pay off Whoopi's contract and keep looking. How low can you go?

      Whoopie is right, that people do things differently in the south. I would be more pissed off if he were from NY too. I'm just amazed at the public lynching of the X football star. Look at other people who claim to take the moral high ground, yet tap their feet under public bathroom stalls!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmm!??!?!? (I just wish that Elizabitch would shut her trap and quit cutting off Joy B. Not being on the show during their hiatus must've been torture for the newly banged and fake baked gabber!)

      should have picked sherri long before Whoopi! Whoopi is way to serious and thinks she knows everything. Sherri is funny and silly.

    49. Not the same w/o Rosie says – reply to this


      49

      Re: big city
      Totally agree w/ you! I wish they would remove Elizabeth! She stinks! She seems like a Stepford Wife..robotic Bush supporter, I can't stand her, she won't face any facts!

      I doubt seriously that Sherri is holding out for more money. She doesn't have the clout and the pull like Rosie did, if they don't get her, they won't be as burned as if they missed Whoopi. Whoopi is smart, and has good insight…

      I miss Rosie too. I think she added some firepower. They silenced her fast! They want someone who will tread the line of centrality and not stray too far either way, which sucks because the show is called "The View" not "One View":(

    50. Carmen says – reply to this


      50

      haha, I agree with A LOT of you, "get rid of Elizabitch" bringing in someone with a different ethnicity would be good, maybe someone who isn't going through menapause, Barbra, Whoopi & Joy are pretty old. They need a younger face in there!
      I also agree about the ORANGE wall/table/everything, it matches Elizabitch's fake tan!!!!! hahaha Oh yeah, her shirt was hideous yesterday!!! Dang i'm mean, o'well!

      who gives a shit about the view!!!!???? a bunch of old vagina's sitting around a table, no thank you. really, why is this show even being talked about Perez? please stop boring us with these nobody's and concentrate on "real" celebrity news!!!. PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU!!!!!

    52. Greasy Queef says – reply to this


      52

      I wish they'd replace that twat Elizabitch with Roseanne. Her and Whoopi would have some great fights!

      As for Whoopi and her Vick comments: IGNORANT. She needs to come out as a dyke already.

      Barbara Walters, if you really are real about diversity , then, this time have a Latina in your show, or we Latinas will have to stop watching your show , diversity does not only means white and black women but the refrection of Amererica which is all races. Period.

      We want a Latina representation on Barbara Walter's show or lets stop watching the View.. Latina all the way after all Latina women are sexy, geougeos, spice and more. Write to Barbara and state your position.

      It should be Sandra Bernhard. She would be a perfect match for the show.

    65. Maria says – reply to this


      65

      Hopefully the new person will be intelligent, articulate and funny - which would eliminate any future Elisabitch clones. Once Barbara gets the fourth cohost, she will not be on the show so often. ALSO - if you had actually seen the show, you would know that Whoppi was not defending Michael Vick. She was trying to get people to look at what might have created the problem and point out what might be required to make it a completely unacceptable type of behavior. She was offering another view…just what I think she is being paid to do! I still miss Rosie and I agree the set is not the best they've had. IT IS STILL GOOD TO HAVE A SHOW WHERE WOMEN CAN EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS.

      This show is so boring now. Even Joy can't save it. Let go.

    67. Zeewot says – reply to this


      67

      This show has turned into such an airhead fluffy snoozefest. The additon of Whoopi…..BORING, BORING, BORING….must have been desperate to pick someone who has had their own talk show canceled….not exactly a glowing recommendation! Elizabeth should stay home permanently when she has the baby so America doesn't have to endure her screaching voice and and empty headed robot responses every morning. I think possible new co-host should be someone like Kathie-Lee Gifford or Gayle King to replace the Meredith demographic which is no longer represented on the show.

      Love, love, love Elizabeth! A lot of young stay-at-home moms out there totally relate with her. There are plenty of conservative viewers out there who support her, agree with her opinions, yet also like to see different view points from the liberal hosts. Give the girl a break!

      It HAS to be Kathy Griffin…..there is no other like her.

      Whoopi needs to have her head examined. On her first day on the show she spoke as if she were a fan of the "sport" of dog fighting when speaking about Michael Vicks. They both need to be crucified.

      84

      They DON'T need another comedian. What they need is someone of substance, who can offer intelligent conversation on hot topics. Much as I disliked Star, at least she is a lawyer and made worthwhile comments - unlike Elizabeth, who has absolutely nothing interesting to add. I'm thinking of someone like Nancy Grace, Catherine Crier, Gayle King, or Connie Chung. Or maybe Patricia Heaton, from Everybody Loves Raymond.

      Look here is the deal, the same shit they did to Rosie they are doing to Woopie. She did not stand up for M. Vick they twisted her words already! The worst thing about that show is in two letters "EH" get rid of her and you have a good show! What a waste of air time every time that air head opens her mouth!

      I don't like Sherri. She is a bimbo when it comes to men. She left her husband when he got another woman pregnant. Sherri then went on a tour bashing her cheating husband during her shows. Months laters she takes the bum back with open arms along with his love child. I really don't feel like hearing her brag about her dumb ass decisions when she really need to be embarrassed.

      Barbara:

      You have been admired by many Canadian's for many year's…
      why have you not been looking for a "Canadian Barbara Walter's…"

      We Canadian's stand behind you and your country in War and I was just wondering why you don't stand behind us in Entertainment Talk Show's such as the VIEW!

      Toronto is changing and you need to soul search for a Canadian to sit with you…and I know just the person!!! Toronto (Canada) has no one in particular that stands out beyond the rest like you Barbara or Oparah.

      Re: beanso – You are trully an Idiot if you think Elisbitch is good. She is a lousy devil eyed bitch and she is a fake christain. She only claims christainity when she is trying to gain sympathy. It is sad that you are

      Re: big city – You are right on the money about that nasally voiced orange pig but Sherri SHerpard was offered the job of co-hosting but
      she wanted a cool 3 million per year and they told her no way the moderator
      which would be Whoopi is making that much.
      I hope she settled for a lower amount because she is cute and unlike Elisabitch
      she is a real christain. I love her.
