Sherri Shepherd publicly apologized on air for saying in an interview with a Christian Women’s magazine that she hoped her boss, Barbara Walters, could “get saved” by a televangelist. She said in the same interview that she went through a very rough time when she was young and that she’d “had more abortions than I would like to count.” After the details of the interview were widely publicized, Shepherd clarified her remarks, saying that she was not glamorizing abortion and that she hoped to inspire women who also felt extreme guilt and shame over having an abortion. She also claimed that her quotes were taken out of context and that she was joking about wanting to have Walters saved.
Shepherd said she called Barbara Walters ahead of time to warn her that the quote was going to be published, and that Walters laughed and acted like it wasn’t a big deal. A show source tells the National Enquirer that Barbara is fed up with with Sherri and the idiotic things she says on air and that the “saved” comment was just Sherri’s latest gaffe to piss her off:
“Barbara has had it with her,” said the source. “Barbara was shocked that Sherri would say she needs to be ’saved’. She’s dumbfounded by the stupid things that keep coming out of Sherri’s mouth…
Barbara has been saying that Sherri’s a “loose cannon,” added the source. “And after hearing what she said to a Christian magazine, word came back from Barbara that she wants to boot her off the show.
“Barbara thinks Sherri has become far worse of a problem than Star Jones and Rosie’s O’Donnel when they were on the show - and that’s saying a lot!”
While Barbara is ready to see Sherri move on from “The View,” insiders say it’s unlikely there will be a dramatic firing.
“Barbara may first give her a chance to shape up before shipping her out…
“And if Barbara does let Sherri go, expect a fun farewell with the whole gang saying only nice things about Sherri in public.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, August 11, 2008]
Everyone else on The View may be smarter than Sherri - and that’s not saying much considering that Sherri thinks Jesus came before the Romans - but Barbara Walters’ personality is shrewish and she sticks out on that panel. Barbara is constantly making the celebrity guests on the show uncomfortable with blunt questions. The View is a roundtable talkshow with an audience, it’s not a one on one interview like Walters is used to and she has to tone down the personal questions.
The show is so much more watchable when Whoopi is there running everything without Barbara. Yes Sherri says stupid things, but she’s earnest about it and she’s not really hurting anyone. Sherri’s dumb observations are a kind of comic relief and the other women make excuses for her and help her out. Barbara would do better to retire than to try and get rid of Sherri. Sherri isn’t the one who’s dragging the show down.

Good riddance
-
I did like the show a lot better when Barbara was not on monopolizing the conversation. But between her, Elizabeth and Sherri, I don’t watch it anymore. It’s just overkill with three annoying women on there.
-
Well I watch the View because of Sherri and Joy, they are both hilarious and Sherri gets under Babwa’s skin and just annoys her and I love it. But my favorite days are when Babwa is not there, she just brings the whole show down, she needs to retire. Last week it was obvious that Elisabeth was getting Whoopi Joy and Sherri worked up with her idiotic political comments and going off and not letting anyone else get a word in. They went to commercial and came back and all explained that they really did love each other just did not agree. I would love Babwa and Elisabeth off the show and bring on Kathy Griffin and THEN the show would be amazing!!!!
-
Jesa, If you want to see that, change the channel to MSNBC
-
Interesting body language, Barbara.
-
I haven’t watched the view since Rosie left. I only watched it then to see her put her foot in her mouth..along with some-one elses!
-
ONE MORE TIME, it goes to show you the bible thumpers christian conservatives are the ones that are really wierd.. it gives honest good hearted christians a bad name. It is such a shame.. it really is.
-
Barbara should’nt throw any stones in a glass house. She engaged in an affair with a married senator by her own admission. They all have issues and that in itself creates high ratings.
-
I would like to see Kathy Griffin on the panel. Elizabeth and Sherry need to go, they are both threatened by opinions different from theirs and try to force their view.
-
Sherri adds nothing intelligent to the show, and she isn’t very funny. Elizabeth isn’t as smart as she thinks and isn’t funny at all. Barbara needs to retire and write more trashy books.
Keep Whoopi and Joy, and let them pick a new panel.
-
this show sucks no matter who is on it.
-
I hate that show and never watch it, but that woman is a moron who should NOT have a national platform for her buffoonery. See ya Christian Lady from hell!
-
I agree with whomever said the show sucks no matter what, but I do like Joy. And sometimes I like Whoopi. The rest of them can kiss my ass. I ESPECIALLY dislike Elizabeth Hasslecrack the worst and Sherri next.
Ug. I don’t watch it, period.
-
I have tried to watch the View since Star Jones left but it has taken a downward spiral. In my opinion, Star Jones brought the show to a higher intellectual level. The viewers were making such a too doo about her getting free bees for her wedding. As far as I know a lot of celebrities get free bees. Who isn’t excited about their first wedding?
I agree with the other comments about Elisabeth voicing her opinions and not listening to anyone else.
Sherri must realize when you air your dirty laundry to the public, people will begin to see you in a different light.
The same goes for Barbara Walters. I have watched Barbara on television for a number of years and have/had great respect for her as a newswoman but since she aired her business on the View, Oprah and in her book, my respect for her has lessened to some degree.
I knew when Rosie O’Donnell was coming to the view that it wouldn’t work. She was totally too agressive for the show. Rosie did not fit in with the pinkness of the room, if you get my drift.
Disclosing your whole life to the media and the public can be a tricky business.
Although, Wendy Williams has her own show, Wendy Williams would be a perfect fit for the View. She is beautiful, intelligent, savvy, knowledgeable, up on current events and humorous.
If anyone leaves the View, Wendy Williams should be selected to take their place.
-
I have NEVER liked the View and never will. it is ignorant and abrasive. Why Elizabeth left her success on the Style network is beyond me. I don’t know anyone who likes the show but I guess people are watching it or it wouldn’t still be on the air.
-
Sherri is basically harmless - it’s Elizabeth that totally gets under the skin. Barbara should rethink who she’s getting rid of.
-
I briefly watches the show because Whoopi and Sherri are on it. They are the two co-host that does not kiss Barabara Walters behind. They are the ones that lively up the show. I did not watch it until they came into the picture.
-
I don’t like the show when Barbara is there, but I really detest Joy. She is the one who is totally intolerant of any political opinion other than her own and I would love to see her go.
-
Why do talk show host have to be celebrities ? Why is it that someone cannot have a show like the view, keep joy and whoppi on it and from week to week let regular ordinary everyday women sit in on the panel.. Everyday people have things to say also. Sometimes it gets very boring looking at the same people and hearing the same dumb ignorant responses ( Elizabeth) constantly. I think that would make the show alot more interesting. I used to watch everyday, but I cant stomach Elizabeth.
-
…And I want this show off of the air! Phony-ass Babs. She acts like she’s the = of Tom Brokaw. Ugh!
-
They needed to hire Mario Cantone for that show. There’d be ratings and laughs. Stupid Barbara!
-
I liked Rosie and the program was much more lively when she was there. I thought Whoopi would be good but she’s boring along with Sherri. I think Barbra adds to the show as does Joy. Eliz should be shipped to China. I don’t watch much anymore; they don’t offer much of interest to me. It needs more energy.
-
Wait - Barbara’s the shrew, not Joy BigMouth Behar?
Joy was hired because of her comdeic “talents.” Elisabeth was the young Conservative.
Elisabeth returned from maternity leave with the role of all around political reporter, but is stymied by Whoopie and Joy at every turn. No wonder she’s pushed to tears!
Lose the nasty redhead. Her time passed long ago.
-
I could have done a better job at picking the new host. I knew it should have been Kathy Griffen. I would watch every day to see her.
Barbara and the View master should be kicking themselves in the … -
Personally, I think the show has gone down hill. I can’t stand to watch the show anymore. I loved it when it was the “fat” Star, Merideth, Joy & Elizabeth. Now that was a show. Get rid of the show & Barbara, retire. I can’t stand you
-
I think Elisabeth should go. I have just about quit watching but if she left I might give it another go. Sherri does add to the show but she needs to leave her religious beliefs out of it.
-
Joy Behar is awesome! So smart and funny. She is the ONLY reason to watch The View any more! Sherri is stupid but at least she admits it. Crybaby Elisabeth is an idiot but somehow believes she’s smart. That’s like an Olsen twin thinking she’s tall. If Barbara wants a conservative point of view, get rid of the loudmouth Survivor and find someone with a brain.
-
I feel the show is funny. It’s prepared in evrey sense of the word to what they will say and how they going to present it to the viewers Sherri is funny. Yes, she can say some very silly comments. But aleast she knows it ’s sillyand keep on step’in…
-
The show definately needs to be re-cast. it needs one more element.. a gay guy to keep them all in check
-
Walter’s is self promoting and is a “Snake Oil
salesman”…….I do not watch it if she is on…she has no shame
-
I really dont watch the view that often anymore. I cant stand when Barbara is on. She is snobby to her guests and thinks she is better then her co-hosts. They really need to bring Kathy Griffin back and develop a better panel.
-
There’s only two things I hate about the view…Barbara WaWa and Elizabitch. NO ONE says stupider things than them. Sherri is hilarious, and REAL, you can’t help but smile when you watch her. Barabara should just make an infomercial to run repetively late nights if she’s only interested in self promotion. I am so effin tired of them hyping her stuff on the show!
-
I’d like to see them get rid of Hasselbeck. She is immature and doesn’t know how to comport herself in a debate. It sounds like she is rattling off talking points sent to her by the McCain campaign (and prior to that, the Bush administration). She starts screaming and attacking people right away. Surely the folks at the View can find someone to share the conservative point of view without acting like a bratty moron.
-
It’s so convenient to “feel extreme guilt and shame after having an abortion”. Where would her career be if she’d not had one or her claimed several abortions? So, she benefited from her right to choose (she IS on television making several hundred thousand dollars a year) and now is not only woeful over her choice but is also preaching to a Christian magazine that, ostensibly, she regrets her choice. Again, where would she be if she hadn’t had that choice? I would bet the family farm that she certainly wouldn’t have the life of luxury she now enjoys.
-
I agree that Elizabeth has got to go. I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard than her obnoxious voice and her moronic statments. Whoopi and Joy bring a lot to the table.
-
What is up with Elisabeth? She is totally annoying. She needs to bounce. I love it when Joy and Whoopi gets down on her I KNOW IT ALL attitude.Sherri is clueless but, harmless. Barbie needs to sit back and enjoy the $ that rolls in from the show and STOP backing up poor little spoiled Elisabeth.
-
why you americans are so hypocrite. you speak the truth you gets crucified and the truth about it most american women slut around before they married. dont hide behind religion.

Sorry but I like Elizabeth.. I do NOT agree with her political views, but I don’t believe in Joy’s either. They both are extremists. I think if you’re going to have political extremists on a show — you need to have one from both parties to balance things out.
I think the show went downhill when Rosie left. She can be annoying but she is ALWAYS entertaining..
and Baba doesn’t ever seem to loosen up.. and the times she does - it seems forced. When the other girls are having fun — she is always the dead weight that reels them in - I guess it is needed but she’s extreme…she’s a buzzkill, to be honest.
and YES! Please hire Kathy Griffin!! The ratings would skyrocket..(but baba is too prudish for Kathy.. sigh)
-
I am a towards the middle republican, but I miss Star. I enjoyed hearing Star and Elisabeth talk politics because they LISTENED to one another. Not everyone agrees all the time and the way they held discussions showed that you could disagree and still be amiable towards one another. That’s what this country needs, 2 different points of view blazeing a trail with mutual understanding to show the rest of us how to deal with each other. I myself hear people out, but have a hard time finding anyone who wants to listen to me. It’s a 2 way street people. Oh and Joy really needs to go. She is so angry and obnoxious, she can’t see past her own views. Just because you think your right, doesn’t mean you are.
-
Get rid of that over opinionated and under thought Elizabeth Hassell-all-the-time wench. Then deal with the Abortion Queen.
-
I WATCHED THE SHOW SOMETIMES WHEN ROSIE WAS ON… AND I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE SHOW NOW… I LOVE WHOOPI, BEA, AND SHERRI… I DO NOT ENJOY ELISABETH AND I DO NOT ENJOY BARBARA. I LIKE BARBARA ON 20/20 AND AS A REPORTER. SHERRI IS SO FUNNY TO ME , ALONG WITH BEA… NOW SHE IS HILARIOUS AND OF COURSE MY GIRL WHOOPI… BARBARA SHOULD ONLY SHOW EVERY NOW AND THEN… I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH SHERRI… I DID HOWEVER HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOOK BARBARA WROTE. SHERRI WAS A GREAT ADDITION TO THE VIEW… IF YOU’RE GOING TO GIVE ANYONE THE BOOT… ELISABETH IS YOUR GIRL… SHE STICKS HER FOOT IN HER MOUTH EVERYDAY!!!
-
It’s time for the entire cast to be replaced and get some new Views.
-
oh please!
GET RID OF ELIZABOT! -
I have been watching Sherri for a couple of years now. I have also been fortunate enough to visit a taping of “The View” and meet her personally, along with the rest of the cast (except Elisabeth and Barbara), and I found everyone to be simply delightful. Sherri makes me smile, and she really is a kind and very friendly person. She works her *** off for ABC and has literally travelled the world, making appearances on various ABC shows, including the Daytime Emmys. I think Sherri is just finding her “place” in the new group of Daytime “A” listers of which she is now one of those on that list. I admire her, and wish her the best as she continues to skyrocket into daytime success. I am not too concerned about this story, because I KNOW the real person, and I have made my own conclusion, which is very positive and supportive of Sherri. Since I am the one who watches the show, supports the advertisers, and literally helps to pay Barbara’s salary and everyonee elses, I think that should count for something. My vote is, THUMBS UP, for Sherri.
-
It’s interesting that the show is called “The View” which means differing views and yet a member of the panel is dissed if their view is different. I have no respect Barbara Walters who has admitted to having an affair with a married man. People who lives in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. My biggest problem with the View is that they all talk at the same time. It’s rude and they all do it.
-
There would be no show or jobs for so many people without Barbara.. Why ask her to retire???? STUPID!!!!! Barbara/Whoopie/Joy and maybe Elizabeth make the show, why look for a 5th? And yes Sheri should go ASAP!!!
-
I’m not sure why Sherri was hired in the first place. She has little knowledge, education or intelligence, and it shows - and she’s not funny enough to make up for that.
-
Sheri is OK. It is Elizabeth who grates on the nerves. SHE IS ONE CONSTANT”BLONDE MOMENT”.Just joking about the blondes.
-
I LOVE BARBARA AND HER SHOW I LOVE ALL THE GIRLS EXCEPT FOR SHERRI.YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN SHE MIGHT DO ONE OF THOSE NECK JOBS SHE TRYS TO SNEAK IN SOMETIMES.I WAS HOPING ROSEANNE BARR WOULD TAKE HER PLACE BUT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER AND WHOOPI TOGEATHER.
-
Sherri and Elisabeth you don’t need the “View”. I don’t care for the show because of Barbara and the others. I’m glad to see that we have Christian people in the media such as Sherri. Everyone has a right to voice their opinion. We don’t have to agree with these ladies all the time. Stop watching the View and the rating will fall, then they can take the show off the air. I say stop watching so much television and get outside and enjoy the outdoors and your families and friends. Go to church, get involved in bible studies or prayer groups. Who needs the view to survive? Not this lady. God Bless you all and Sherri keep the faith.
-
shut up!
fire babs…and lizzie(borden) b4 she goes postal .
keep the “real women”
Joy,Whoopster & sherry
we’ve all had our moments….
so has Babs…nasty old girl
ohhh yeah and ring back Rosie….but you wont bcuz you have no balls!
but she had great ratings. -
she is disgusting anyway. Not funny and just gross. I can’t even watch that show anymore. I haven’t watched in about 7 months. Everyone on there is annoying.
-
Sherri needs to go and after her, Elizabeth! One who knows it all and one who knows nothing at all…………
-
Are you kidding me? I like Sherri. She’s sweet and naive, in a cute sort of way. I can’t stand Elisabeth, but I suppose her viewpoint is needed to balance things out. They need to get rid of Whoopie. I used to like her, before she came on this show and showed what a blatent, extreme racist she really is. Plus, she’s arrogant and thinks her opinion is the only one that’s right.
-
Eliz only seems annoying because NOONE EVER LETS HER TALK! i feel bad for her and think shes shown shes a very strong woman because all 3 on there never let her get a word in edge wise (the show is calld the view and they never let her speak HER view) barbara looks/talks to her like shes scum joy makes faces like shes going to puke whenever eh speaks and whoopie?? shes the WORST she actually believe SHE IS THE “ONLY” one who is right? if you dont agree with her look out!! when shes talking she DEMANDS ALL the attention but..when anyone else esp EH speaks she constantly cuts her off saying NO EH IM RIGHT! Its a sin how they treat EH..thats why she SEEMS to be annoying cuz she has to YELL to get her point across. she gets absolutely no respect at all!. and YES THE SHOW ABSOLUTELY SUCKS WHEN BARBARA IS ON ugh..she is sooooo boring shes snippy she thinks shes Gods gift to the universe! she knocks them all down EXCEPT WHOOPIE poor joy stuck with her ALL these years thru all the crap and barbara has the NERVE to say if we’re ever going to win the emmy this year will be it because…OF WHOOPIE!!! that was rude and insensitive to joy and EH! Hate her!
-
Elizabeth is the only one with any sense on the panel. Whoopi’s defense of the N word, as if it were principled (when she obviously intends it as nothing but a pejorative, claiming never to have met a N) was just insipid, and Sherri jumped right in to defend her. Sherri didn’t know the earth was round; she’s just stupid, and she makes Christians look stupid. Elizabeth’s stances are unpopular but principled; she’s courageous.
-
ON THE AOL POLLS ELIZEBETH WON BY THOUSANDS OF VOTES TO BE THE MOST LIKED ON THE VIEW.WONDER WHY? PROBABLY BECAUSE IT IS 4 AGAINST 1 ON THAT SHOW. HANG IN THERE ELIZEBETH.
-
Well I went to see the VIEW in July it was a awesome show to see in person. If you or who ever thinks Sherri should go doesnt know what they are talking about.People always try to find a fault with someone on a show,I think if anyone should go would be Eliz.she is always opening her mouth when and doesnt give anyone a chance to talk their oppinions!! that is my “VIEW”
thanks for the time to write what we think. -
I’d rather eat ground glass than listen to Elizabeth.
Its not her viewpoint that annoys me, its her manner of speaking, continually interupting the others when they are speaking and she is totally obnoxious when she puts on that holier-than-thou attitude. Get rid of her…and I’ll be back. AFter her behavior last week, I pulled the plug on THE VIEW. Luv Joy and the Whop….Sherrie doesn’t bother me but think there are other better choices out there!!! -
I am so glad to voice my opinion. Elizabeth H…..is as phony as a three
dollar bill, so condescending. Her
tears on the air make me nauseous.Her political viewpoints are straight
from the Fox news anchors. I realize she is a hopeless conservative, but I
think any other conservative could present their views in a more mature
manner. Give me a break, I am a Republican,but Elizabeth just rubs me
the wrong way. Find a mature Republican
woman…..Urgh -
I’m so sick of Elisabeth I could scream. First off, her voice is like nails scratching on a blackboard. Every time I hear it, I get sick. She’s too opinionated (it’s called The View, not Elisabeth’s View) and she won’t let issues die. If I have to hear about Rev. Wright one more time… I mean she can’t quit flogging the dead donkey - O-KAY! First she runs off Rosie and now every time we turn around she’s hitting Whoopie with comments. I can’t wait to see the can-O-Whoop@$$ that Whoopie pulls out on her one day! They need to get rid of Elisabeth before they even think of getting rid of Sherrie - she’s the loose cannon and Sherrie… well, she’s a breath of fresh air compared to Lissie.
I’m so sick of Elisablecht I could puke! -
Just to let everyone know that I really enjoy the view very much. And for the comment on getting rid of Sherri, please just stop it. These ladies are great each one has a right to speak their mind which they do.. I love that Whoopi is hosting the show too. And for
Elizabeth I believe that she is very careing and fantastic in her own way. She’s perfect and Joy and Barbara are great. I wish I can get tickets but unable too. So Please leave the ladies along they are doing their jobs…..Lov Marivel fr Brooklyn, -
Thank God!!!
-
Sheri is clearly the show’s irrelevant lightweight. If you want to get rid of her, that’s fine with me, but Joy Behar is the panelist who should just disappear without a trace, not unlike some old “Twilight Zone” episode. She’s just plain stupid, uninformed, blindly ideological and not at all funny. Whoopi and Elizabeth make nice foils for each other. Even though she’s lost her fastball, Baba Wawa will always be a TV icon.
-
Sorry to hear it wasn’t Elizabeth that Barb wants to get rid of.
-
I stopped watching The View after Ro left. I do not like Barbara or EH. Joy is tolerable and I love Whoop. Sherri sounds like a dimwit. IMO the show isn’t nearly as important as BW makes it out to be. It’s a daytime talk show with a few yentas sitting around gossiping, what’s so groundbreaking about that? I always hate watching their celebrity interviews because it’s like they’re each trying to one up the other.
-
Barbara Walters needs to get over herself. She is behaving as if she never made a comment that was taken out of context.
And if she can’t take the humor, why did she hire Whoopi, Joy and Sherri.
-
I just read someone wrote sherri is sweet and innocent? this has to be a family member writing that? shes had so many abortions she lost count? she murdered all those children just for a quickie with joe blow? and shes sweet and innocent??. She constantly lies about Jehovahs Witnesses she hasnt a clue about them at all everything she ever said was wrong! shes an idiot! and i think the MOST STUPIEST THING I EVER HEARD COME OUT OF “ANYONES” MOUTH IS>>>SHE SAYS>>>her friend told her…OMG this is the dumbest thing ever…”DONT WORRY SHERRI WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN (HAHA SHERRI IN HEAVEN) WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN..”ALL” THOSE BABIES YOU ABORTED WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU CALLING YOU MOMMY????? OMG!! i dont know how bill getty didnt come out and pull her off the show! is she aware of what happens during an abortion? she thinks these babies r going to be in heaven greeting the woman who killed them?? like i said that was the dumbest thing i ever ever heard in my entire life! she talks constantly how shes so religious but ALL her talk is sexual! UGH shes sickening! yet they say shes sweet and innocent? PLUHLEEESSEE!
-
Sherri is comic relief. Regardless, I love the show!
The stupid one is that Elizabeth! WOW! Could they have picked a stupider Republican for that slot? I doubt it.
Talk about dumb statements, Elizabeth actually has said (on the show) women should not dress nice, because the only reason we do is to turn on men and the only men we should worry about turning on are our husbands!!! Ok, then Elizabeth, take off the make up, the nice clothes and start wearing baggy pants and shirts or better yet put on some of those prarie clothes and cover your hair!
I love the show, but the stupid one is Elizabeth and I am very sure they can find an intelligent Republican with some experience for her seat.
-
Sherri is ignorant…not funny at all. Either she goes or I go.
-
I happen to like them all! I don’t always agree with their views but that’s life. There would be no point in the show if they were all alike and had the same view on everything. People have to learn that you don’t just banish someone because they don’t share the same opinions as you. I do wish they wouldn’t all talk at the same time because I like to hear what each one says. And I do get bored with all the sex topics but that’s just me some may enjoy that. If they truly wanted a variety of people and opinions and backgrounds they got it and if Barbara Walters fires Sherry or Elizabeth for anything they say my opinion of her will crash and burn.
-
No one ever seems to stay on this show too long.
-
get rid of woopie . double standard biggit. every woman on there has issues
-
When the View comes on in the morning, I look to see if Barbara walks out with them. If she does, I automatically know that the show is not going to be as good. It’s like she is a teacher and everyone has to stay “good” around her. Then she takes up half the talking time because she is old and entitled.
-
They will never get rid of that obnoxious Elisabeth Hasselcrag as long as BW and Bill Geddie are the producers. BG is in serious lust with Elisabeth, and sees her as some sort of mouthpiece for the Repubs.
-
i can truly understand everyones point on elizabeth she is a winning adult to me.She complians about what everyone on the show says she thinks her points are always correct srry elizabeth you annoy me.as far as sherri i like her she is funny to me and sometimes she has good points barbara MUST GOOOOOOOOO ahe is so boring i change tha channel when shes talking.
-
Yes, yes get rid of Sheri! While you are at it, get rid of Joy with her cocky attitude! She thinks the View revolves around her! It is her way or the highway!..The View has become too political one way - the Democracts! Elizabeth doesn’t stand a chance being the “only” Republican on the show. The View is to share opinions not critizied someone who believes differently.(I am not a Republican either but the discussions should be respected for both political parties). Stop talking over each other. It is very annoying!
Whoopi is the BEST!! If it wasn’t for her, I’d quit all together watching the View!
-
pleaSE Barbara get rid of yourself…I enjoy sherri and joy and whoopi its that b—- assback I hate
-
Every time I watch a clip from that show I lose an IQ point-the ignorance is astounding, and I would never be able to sit through the entire show. I would rather watch paint dry.
-
I record the view, but whenever I see Babwa is on, I wont watch unless there is a guest I want to see. She continually dominates the conversation, can be rude and belittling to the others, and if I have to hear one more of her plugs for ‘Audition’ or 20/20 when she has an interview on there..I will go out of my mind. In short..I will sign the petition for mandatory retirement for her! ‘The old gray mare ain’t what she used to be!’
-
I agree with all those that want E\elizabeth Hasselback off the show!! She is irritating and makes me want to switch channels. She argues so much as if what she says is the only right one and everyone is not. She is not a nice person and acts like a spoiled brat.
-
When Rosie was on the View I nearly stopped watching. I got tired of her constant “I’m gay, respect me!” attitude.
Now with Whoopi, Joy, Sherry, Elizabeth and Barbara there is a good balance. Each can get on your last nerve on any given day, but for the most part they are all good together. -
Someone should’ve told Sherrie multiple abortions can lead to handicapped children. Like her son who lives 3,000 miles from her and is being raised by his Dad.
-
Get rid of Elizabutt! She is an air head bigot! Get Kathy Griffin back. She was fun!
-
I’m turned by that skinny blond girl, whats her name (Elizabeth?). Its just gotten too mundane with her. I know the producer supports Mccain, but if thats the only reason they have her on, they need to seriously reconsider that approach.
-
bascily the show is garbage when babs is there.
-
babs has to go.. her era is long gone
-
I agree that Sherri and Elizabeth should take a hike. Barbara…well she’s okay. I get disgusted with Elizabeth on a daily basis and turn the show off half the time because of her. Sherri…I don’t know why they hired her in the first place…she is boring, loud and should not even be a guest host let alone on the program daily. Joy and Whoopi, keep up the good work.
-
Sheri is undereducated compared to the rest of the panel, however she is head over heels above in life experience, along with Joy, Whoppi and Barbara compared to Hasselbech. Elizebeth is so preppy, opinionated and unable to listen to comments without ‘defending’ HER position, makes me turn her off. Yes, it is time for Barbara to retire to her night time specials, and let someone else grill her in a hot seat.
-
I refuse to watch the show anymore after yesterday with Obama on it. He was trying to answer that stupid ass Elizabeth and she would not shut her fing mouth.. I can NOT stand her.. she is the loser on the show not anyone else.
PLEASE do us all a favor and kick her ass to the curb..i say we all write to ABC requesting her to be kicked off the show.. lets send in dum dum lolipops until they get rid of her!! maybe when they get 20 million of them maybe they will wake up and get rid of her!! -
It’s obvious that most of you don’t know that Barbara is co-producer of The View, and it’s up to her to retire when she wants to retire.
Barbara, Whoopie, and Joy, are the only hosts who have anything worthwhile to say and are also intelligent.
Sherri contributes nothing meaningful or important, and Elisabeth is very annoying and likes to hear herself talk.
Isn’t it obvious who should go and who should stay?
-
Everyone has their “opinion” - …… personally, I don’t feel that Sherri is the problem … Whoppi is cool; Joy gets under my skin at times - but most of the time I enjoy what she has to offer the show; Elizabeth is does annoy me most of the time and I could live without her on the panel; and in my opinion - Barbara ALWAYS puts a damper on things!!! As a news host/reporter she is good, but she just doesn’t belong on “The View” - it’s just NOT a good fit!!! So, I say replace both Elizabeth and Barbara at the same time!! (P.S. As for putting Kathy Griffin on the panel - oh my gosh…. well, she’s just too disrespectful!
-
Whoopi is the greatest. She is so very smart, and presents herself very well in every situation. She has brought so much to the View. I think without her the View would take a dive. She knows when to make things funny and knows when to be serious and also puts a stop to things when they get out of hand. She could do this show alone. She is a source and talent to be recognized and I believe already has, but not nearly enough. Joy is very smart also and just adds so much to the show and compliments Whoopi. Sherri is just plain funny and the View without her would be boring. And by the way, why should she leave her religious comments at home, after all isn’t that what the View is all about? A round table open discussion about, well everything? But Elisabeth, well, I agree with the majority, she needs to go. She is just to weepy. A tear once and a while about something sad, but give us all a break. Most of us women put on our big girl panties when we get up every day but obviously she is still in training pants. She really needs to grow up and just resign from the View. She is REALLY dragging the show down. Barbara, do what you do the best, 20/20. It is not that I do not like you, but you are definately not suited for this venue. You are far to serious. Lighten up, laugh a little, that is what life is all about. Don’t miss your calling, write another book. And PS Barbara, think twice about which one of these women need to leave the View, it is NOT Sherri it is Elisabeth. You need a good balance of discussion and all but one brings that to the show.

Sherri is a breath of fresh air as compared to Elizabeth’s stiff right wing pole -up -her -ass demeanor. Sherri is the real thing, what you see is what you get. Joy is a riot, Whoopi is a fabulous mediator. Barbara’s forte is one on one interviews; this venue is not her cup of tea, she doesn’t have the personality to connect with the rest of the panel. I say, keep Sherri, dump the self-righteous big mouthed Elizabeth. Bring in Kathy Griffin who’s funny, smart and not afraid to hold her own with the “suits”.
-
DO ALL OF US A FAVOR AND GET RID OF ELISABETH (shes a nobody and who cares her opinion on anything, just because you went on a reality game show, Survivor, does NOT make you a TV show host!)
-
Cherri is ok she’s is more of a comic, I love Whoopi and Joy on show those 3 can stay….
Please let whinnie behind self righteous Elisabeth go and Barbara can retire…. I disliked Elisabeth on survivor and she definately doesn’t belong on view …. frankly the view is not somehting I watch too much because of Ms. self righteous Elisabeth and miss holier than thou attitude Barbara Walters….
Neither can walk on water but they don’t know that yet lol….
-
Love Whoopie, but her and Sherri’s comment’s about the N word were racist, in my opinion.
Not a balanced panel. -
I have to say I’ve watch almost every show, thanks to DVR’s. I love Joy she is the intelligent one and make me laugh. Whoopi thinks she is smarter than the others and maybe she is but has an attitude and it shows. It looks like she bites her tongue a lot, and cuts herself off from saying what she really wants to say. “Network”? Just say it. Elizabeth gets under my skin, it must be her annoying voice, it is so high, when she is speaking it reminds me of nails on a chalkboard, her opinions are hers not to ram them down every one’s throat, give up, she needs to GO. Now I love Sherry what a breath of fresh air, but she will be corrupted if she stays on , but I think she tells it like it is and that’s what gets her foot in her mouth. We all made mistakes in our lives, move on please. She is so cute, leave her alone! So Babs should not be on the show, she is a downer. I think she has had her day and should just stick to her interview shows. Lastly Keep: Whoopi, Joy, Sherry, dump Elizabeth, and have Babs only once a month, too keep her happy. Just three talking at the same time not four is easier to watch. Chow
-
Barbara is ALL about BARBARA!
She’s the one who needs to GO -
go back to reporting and interviewing. -
i agree i have been waching this summer elisabutt was great when she first started now she is a royal pain in the ass trying to force her ideas on everyone interuppting and trying to monopolize every conversation., it is called the view not elizabeth speaks, maybe it is time babbarba walters retires every person she has had on since she so needlessly got rid of star has been awesome, maybe she is the problem not them., elizabeth get the next bus or train out along with babs,. the rest carry the swhow any way and are the best,.mm 
-
OK, my take is that the show is OLD. It has seen its best days. Time to move on. The only people I admire are Whoppie and Joy. The rest of the hosts, historically seem to be jockeying constantly for seats at the table THe last five years The VIEW has turned me off. I no longer watch it. Just too chaotic; it’s analagous to a bad dinner party without the food. .Bill Geddes, I am sure you’ve tried. Find some new venue/distraction for yourself. It isn’t working.
-
Sherri before Elizabeth? Come on now…Liz is a royal pain with all of her political comments and not letting anyone else express their opinions. Sherri says stupid things but at least she is LIKEABLE. Whoopi rocks…the voice of reason, and I have always loved Joy.
No..get rid of LIz.
-
Get rid of Elisabeth……. she is ignorant. Her views are racist and extremely one sided.
Everytime she speaks, I change the channel.
-
Bring Rosie O’Donnell back!!!!
She was the BEST! -
WOW, I SEE MOST AGREE WITH ME!!! SEND ELISABETH PACKING LET HER RAISE HER LITTLE FAMILY AND DO SOME NEEDLEPOINT AND AS FOR BARBARA SHE’S TIRED AND WE ARE TIRED OF HER ALSO…. I SURE HOPE THE PRODUCERS GET TO READ THESE BLOGS…
WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR IT WOULD BE FOR IT TO BE JUST 3 OF THEM MAN THAT WOULD BE GREAT WHOPPI, JOY AND CHERRI….
-
I think they should get rid of Elizabeth, Sherri is the fun one and yes she is honest and religious but we still like sherri. Barbara needs to just come on once a week instead of as much as she does now. I like Barbara but the others are so much cooler. who would they get to replace sherri. I think the woman from the sopranos Lorraine Bracco. I think she should replace Elizabeth.
-
I will sat this about Sherrie. When they are doing a food segmant, her gusto for food always makes me laugh!
-
This is so retarded. Barbara wants to kick her off the show for saying that? Well hmmmm, it’s true. Thats the whole problem with this country now. When someone says anything about God or being saved it’s like they are committing a crime. Where is the crime I say? The crime is that Barbara has had more abortions than the woman in America. This woman has had affairs on a grand scale. She really needs to look in the mirror before she boots someone for saying an innocent comment like that. How about kicking of that pain in the *!@$ Elizabeth with her out landish views. How about old B leaving for putting the stars in the most awkward states when she is there. Since when did you need a PHD to be on this show? As far as I know none of them have them. So who is old B to questions anyone’s intelligence? just because she is an old bag and has been the first to do many things in this country. Well some old bag had to do it. But really who cares. Her @$$ needs to retire and leave the nice group of different ladies be. The show is much better with out her.

I so dislike Elisabitch. Just looking at her collagen-filled lips with lip gloss dripping off of them makes me want to vomit. And then of course she spews out ignorance every chance she gets. Oh no, the Democrats want to raise your taxes! Yeah, well, so what? The Republicans only want to spend spend spend and borrow borrow borrow. We’re mortaging our future for Bush’s crap war in Iraq. And Elisabitch defends these policies? Just because you watch these news shows (how does she fit in all of those news shows with the crap reality shows she’s hooked on when raising two small children?) doesn’t mean you actually understand what’s going on.
I don’t mind Barbara so much but the show is different when she’s around. It takes her so long to tell a story and it turns out to be boring.
And stop promoting your book! It’s been out long enough, I think your audience knows it’s available if they want to buy it, we don’t need to be reminded every time the Queen Bee is on the show!
I also don’t mind Sherri but I do think it’s quite ignorant that she told a magazine that she wants Barbara to be saved. As if that’s any of her business what another person’s religion is. And quit being so stupid, saying you have to go home to look up whether the earth is round. Duh!
-
What Sherri said was really sad but why didn’t the poor girl get on the pill so it wouldn’t happen over and over? Don’t hate Whoopi but she and her black views are getting on my last nerve, Vince dog incident and also because we are black we can degrade ourselves and call ourselves N?! What an ignorant excuse. Trust me it’s okay that they want to seperate themselves, by all means go and take that Vince guy with you. Always making excuses for black behavior is never okay. I don’t see Jews behaving like that and trust me they deserve too!! I feel much worse for what they had gone through losing most family members. Don’t get me started on the American Indians. Thanks but no thanks Whoopi. I used to like her until her racist mouth opened.
-
I love the show but seem to always turn and walk away when Elizabeth opens her mouth. Once she does seems forever before she closes it.
-
I’ve watched the show from the beginning & ususally enjoy it. here lately, the only time I enjoy it is when that self-righteous Elizabeth isn’t on! Where does she come off acting like such a goddess? She needs to be replaced! She’s got issues…serious ones. (I’m not a democrat either) I enjoy Barbara Walters, however, I feel she should only appear once a week & as a fill-in when needed. Take time to enjoy life, Barbara. It’s coming to the point, that the show’s ratings will eliminate everyone! Please don’t let that happen. Thanks.

At most I’ll tivo the View. I preferred it when Rosie was there, and Star too. It has definitely fallen off. Kathy could revitalize it, but I think sh

I couldn’t agree with you more. As for Sherri, her comments were to a CHRISTIAN magazine … what do you expect her to say? She apologized and really … Barbara Walters is the boring one on the show. I hardly ever watch the View anymore and a day that Barbara is there wouldn’t be one of them. If Barbara wants a really intelligent person on that show, why doesn’t she screen them better? The first “young” woman (who is know a reporter on E!) used to kill me with her dumb statements. And now Sherri … well … maybe Barbara should interview her people a bit better. I personally think she must like it because then people will continue to talk about what has become a really pointless show.
