(CelebNMusic247-News) The View Gets Revamp
Gilbert Gottfried and Alan Thicke (Robin Thicke‘s dad) were on The View today and Gilbert made a comment to Barbara Walters and Sherri Shepherd saying, “is this all that’s left on The View?” Barbara gracefully laughed it off, while Sherri said joked, “yes this is all that’s left…no really we are the only ones that wanted to interview you.”
Ouch?
Obviously Gilbert was referring to Joy Behar, 70, who has announced that she is leaving the show and her last date is August. Joy went from radio to TV host parlaying her 15 minutes into 16 wonderful prominent years on TV. Joy also hosts a show on Current TV, so she’ll be just fine.
On Thursday, Joy Behar and The View confirmed the comedian is leaving the talk show after 16 and a half years, but Joy’s rep is making it clear that it’s Joy’s decision and that she wants to return to doing standup comedy and possibly hosting a new show on CNN.
Her rep also stated:
“Joy privately made the decision to leave several weeks ago and discussed with ABC executives today. She leaves at the end of the season in July.”
Joy’s rep also tells us she had a “very positive” meeting with CNN head Jeff Zucker.
Congrats, Joy and thank you for all your years on The View!
As for Elisabeth Hasselbeck, rumor has it, she’s been FIRED for being too outspoken and that fans are no longer feeling her on the show.
Personally, Elisabeth comes off annoying and overly outspoken! She is always trying to force her point of view down your throat and that’s not what the show is about. It’s about point of view, but with more give and take, so we understand why the show wants her gone!
Rumor has it, Barbara may also be resigning after this season of The View comes to an end. There has been no word if this is true or not as of yet.
As for who is going to replace each of these ladies Brooke Shields for Hasselbeck and Alexandra Wentworth for Behar!
No word on whether Brooke and Alexandra are in the running to replace Joy.
