Whoopi vs. Barbara

sophiamarie — Sat, 09 Aug 2014 17:54:52 GMT

Just read on Google, that Whoopi dissed Barbara Walters during a test show. I heard that it was a "not so thinly veiled statement"...... Rosie is coming back and they haven't replaced Sherri or Jenny yet. Their final show is Monday (pre-recorded of course)..... So, they are already gone..... So is Bill....

According to Whoopie, that just did NOT happen.

Hey, hi. Yes, I've had two of them so far. The one on my temple went fine, though I was shocked at how big the incision was. However, the one between my lip and my nose was much trickier. It is still healing. I won't go back for the other one which is in the same area only on the opposite side until September. To think I thought I could have those two done at the same time! My surgeon was not of a mind to try that, and after the numbness wore off, I could understand why. I looked as if I had gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson and I could only eat soft foods that didn't cause me to open my mouth very far.

I read Thursday was the last day for Sherri and Jenny. A big deal was made about the fact Whoopi was not present for their final show.

I believe Whoopi is far too smart to diss Barbara W in public. Whoopi has said it is not easy for women her age to get work in show business. I'm sure she collects a big fat pay check thanks to BW. I doubt she'd bite the hand that feeds her.

I'm inclined to believe whoopi when she says it did not happen. Whoopi Goldberg is not stupid.

It sounds invented, to me.

Never watch the show, but it sounds to me like they're trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Who's left?

I remember reading that Whoopi gets $5M per year and she begged them to let her go also..... when Sherri's contract wasn't renewed. I don't think $5M is a lot - for someone like Whoopi anyway. JMO

I am starting to like "The Talk" a lot better than "The View"... At least those women don't talk all over each other and they don't screech either. They are all there every day, with the exception of maybe Sharon, who is gone more than anyone else. I like them all...... They have the same hot topics on both shows, mostly - ......

Joy Behar was a guest on a show recently and she said that The Talk is scripted and The View isn't......Hard to believe since they seem to have the pictures ready to pop on the screen when they are talking about something. I know they are given topics to discuss and they can say whatever they want to w/o being scripted. Maybe that's what Joy meant. I always liked Joy......

Why would Whoopi have to beg them to let her go? She could choose to not renew her contract.

I don't think her contract was up yet????? I don't know - I just read it somewhere. You know how that goes.....

IMO that show is well past it's sell-by date. As for Woopi, a bit of biting the hand that fed you.

I also thought that Babs and Bill were working together as Producers. Why would she be okay with him being let go???? Unless there's more that we don't know??????

Whoopi is pretty arrogant to think she can ""dis"" the woman who has kept her employed for many years....she should apologize but I can't imagine Whoopi ever apologizing to anyone for any reason. I think the show is way past its prime and needs to end. I certainly won't be watching. Too much anger

When the talk premiered, I didn't like it, thought it was boring, and didn't care for some host.

After the mess the View is in, I find The Talk refreshing. Right, they do not scream, say stupid things, talk over one another. They also give the guest time to talk and answer the questions, not like the View, that interrupts them in the middle of them answering the question. It went way down hill the last few years.

I heard Meridith Veaira, sorry about spelling, she was a host on the View years back when it was intelligent, is getting her own talk show.

I've heard that Bill leaving was part of Rosie agreeing to return.

"The View" and "The Talk" are two different shows. They may both have a table with woman around it talking, but the format and topics are different.

One is more celeb news and light/fl*ff topics, with a lot of laughter and lighthearted banter. (Q won't allow the word "fl*ff" with a "u". ??)

The other has more controversial, serious topics, and though they do have fun, they don't focus as much on the humor side of it.

I noticed "The View" backed away from politics the last year or two. I have a feeling they'll be discussing it more again with the new crew in the fall.

When I'm watching The View, if I don't have the closed captioning on, I can't understand a word anyone is saying. Not so with The Talk.

I watch The Talk a lot more than The View lately. I am really getting tired of hearing about Jeffrey and Evan most of the time. Different co-hosts every day. I read in today's paper that Rosie is definitely coming back and Sarah Pa/lin is interested in joining up.

Time will tell.......Whoopi and Rosie????? I'm not so sure....
