The endless goodbye parade for Barbara Walters picked up steam on The View Thursday when every single last View host – even Debbie Matenopoulos! – returned to talk about how great Walters is and make sure the day was documented. It was definitely documented. » 5/15/14 3:00pm 5/15/14 3:00pm

Barbara Walters is set to officially retire from television this week, so it looks like she's sort of making the rounds before she heads out. She dropped by Weekend Update on last night's episode of SNL (hosted by a sort of tiresome Charlize Theron) to give some advice about her, um, grain of journalism and to give… » 5/11/14 5:57pm 5/11/14 5:57pm

Lindsay Lohan co-hosted The View Friday, after being led onstage (in Barbara Walters' words) "like a good daughter." During the episode, Lohan talked about her comeback, tried to talk about the craft of acting with Marisa Tomei and cooked with Sherri Shepherd.

While I'm not particularly familiar with self-described "Bad Boy"/author Steve Santagati, he's apparently famous enough to have warranted a spot as a guest host on The View Friday. Santagati used his platform to expound on whether women are funny and to tell Susan Sarandon how miraculously hot she is for someone of… » 3/07/14 4:30pm 3/07/14 4:30pm

Earlier this week, Barbara Walters decided to use her platform on The View to share her fascinating opinion that Woody Allen can't have molested Dylan Farrow because she's seen him be nice to his new children. On Thursday, she implied that it's been an open secret around ABC that Elizabeth Vargas is an alcoholic. And… » 2/07/14 2:20pm 2/07/14 2:20pm

This entire conversation is so fucking gross. Barbara Walters announced on The View today that she's spent, like, a bunch of time around Woody Allen and his daughters and he is "as sensitive, and as loving and as caring" a father as she's ever seen. And also the statute of limitations has run out, so nya nya. » 2/03/14 8:15pm 2/03/14 8:15pm

This week, Julie Chen and Sharon Osbourne apparently went on Howard Stern's show and badmouthed Jenny McCarthy. Good job girls! Everyone agrees with you about Jenny. Except why are you and your coworkers spending all your time talking about a show that you're not even on? » 12/12/13 6:30pm 12/12/13 6:30pm

The Downton Abbey cast is on a New York press tour to promote the American premiere of the show's fourth season, making stops at The View and Watch What Happens Live, where the important questions are being asked, like whether Thomas, the irrepressible footman, is a pitcher or a catcher. » 12/11/13 12:10pm 12/11/13 12:10pm

Yesterday on The View (and then again on Jimmy Kimmel Live!), Jimmy Kimmel had a very important question for Barbara Walters: Which of her View co-hosts over the years has she liked the least? » 11/20/13 1:20pm 11/20/13 1:20pm

Ouch ouch ouch, my heart. Tim Gunn talked to Larry "Still a Thing?" King about his admiration for gay youth who are open about their sexuality, and his own struggles communicating with his parents. » 9/20/13 8:00pm 9/20/13 8:00pm

Season two of Katie Couric's Katie has just started, but however long it will be on air is anyone's guess. Barbara Walters is slowly fading into that good night on The View, despite her original protestations. So what better way to fix this daytime talk show kerfuffle than have Katie Couric replace Barbara Walters on » 9/13/13 10:20am 9/13/13 10:20am

Looking appropriately sheepish, Elisabeth Hasselbeck gave The View the old conservative farewell Wednesday morning, after announcing last night that she would be moving to Fox to join the team at Fox and Friends, replacing Gretchen Carlson, who is getting her own afternoon show. Hasselbeck has been "enjoying The… » 7/10/13 1:20pm 7/10/13 1:20pm
