The View
November 15, 2011
--
The controversial TV host/political commentator appeared on the talk show, where he was almost immediately confronted by co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Bill Maher made a point about needing women in society, and Hasselbeck confronted him about a statement he made on his HBO Show, Real Time.
"Forgive this idiotic republican for bringing this to your brilliant mind," Hasselbeck said, recalling a joke that Maher made about exchanging Elisabeth to Egypt for CBS correspondent Laura Logan.

The chemistry was there and they each had distinct personalities. The View was the perfect career launcher, and while only Joy Behar and Barbara Walters remain, Joy has had plenty of outside success, too.
So what's the latest on the rest of the OGs?

I love Whoopi as much as the next person who remembers Ghost, but she’s a little too open about her digestive and urinary problems for my taste.
To be fair, Dr. Oz was the show’s guest, and he asked everyone in the cast and audience if they’d passed gas since the show started...

Susan showed up to The View on Tuesday and attempted to sing O Holy Night. And I say attempted because her voice started cracking half way through the performance.
Folks on the East Coast got the unedited embarrassing version of the performance, while West Coast viewers got an edited repeat performance in which she actually got through the song.
Check out the sad performance below...
Bill O'Reilly was a special guest star on the talk show on Thursday and during a conversation about the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero things got so heated that Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walked off the set!
According to the Huffington Post, O'Reilly said President Obama's qualified support of the center was evidence of the "gulf" between him and the American people. Whoopi and Joy strongly disagreed.
"This is America!" Joy said.
"Listen to me because you'll learn!" O'Reilly rudely interrupted her, which stunned the audience. Whoopi and Joy eventually walked off the set and Barbara Walters had to turn to the audience and say "This should not have happened."
Check out the heated debate and you tell us whose side you're on...

The women were in the middle of telling a long drawn-out story about a catfight, when Whoopi Goldberg, who wasn’t even a part of the segment, came out from backstage and told the women, “Excuse me, can you get back to the White House, please?”
Now Salahi and her lawyer Lisa Bloom are claiming Whoopi “hit” her,which ABC and Goldberg emphatically deny.
The statement from Salahi’s lawyer reads: "The producer went to get Ms. Goldberg, who then yelled a long series of profanities at Mrs. Salahi (yelling the word "f–k" or "f–king" at her dozens of times in a loud voice), accusing her of accusing Ms. Goldberg of 'hitting' her.
Mrs. Salahi said she'd never said that, got the producer back in the room, and the producer admitted that 'hit' was her word, not Mrs. Salahi's. Ms. Goldberg continued to verbally berate Mrs. Salahi, refused to apologize for her language or her on set behavior, and left the room."
The View’s rep said: "Whoopi lightly touched Ms. Salahi to get her attention and said to her 'Excuse me, can you get back to the White House, please,' meaning could Ms. Salahi return to the original subject of the conversation. After the show, Ms. Salahi and her husband accused Whoopi of hitting Ms. Salahi.
As the broadcast clearly shows, the accusation was completely unfounded and erroneous. After the show and after being told she was being accused of hitting Ms. Salahi, Whoopi proceeded to defend herself verbally from this baseless claim in a heated exchange with the Salahis."
Whoopi is expected to address this issue on the show today, so stay tuned!

President Obama will become the first sitting U.S. president to visit the show when he tapes an interview on Wednesday. Talk about ratings boost!
He'll appear as part of the show's "Red, White & View" series, which has featured prominent American politicians and discussions on current political issues.
He'll take on the hot seat next to the show's five ladies to tackle the "hot topics," of the day. His approval ratings have hit new lows, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll so his camp is hoping this appearance will help give him a boost.
His special cameo is so huge that Barbara Walters is going to the set for the president's appearance. She has been on medical leave after undergoing heart valve replacement surgery in May.
"We are so pleased and honored that President Obama will be a guest on 'The View,'" she said in a prepared statement.
Do you think it's a good idea for Obama to make an appearance now, at a time when his administration grapples with challenges from the economy to the BP oil spill? Tell us your thoughts!

Well, that’s what happened with The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. On yesterday’s show, she criticized ESPN correspondent Erin Andrews for wearing skimpy costumes on Dancing With the Stars. Her thought process?

As you may recall, Erin was subject to a peeping Tom a few months back who was caught following her around to her different hotel rooms. The guy is now in prison, and Elisabeth said she shouldn’t be drawing attention to herself.
That’s one way to start a war! And it definitely did. First Erin responded, saying Hasselbeck’s remarks were “a slap in the face to victims of stalking and sexual predators.”
She continued: “The thing that I was most upset about is I felt she was mocking a situation. As a mother and a woman, I’m disappointed she went there.”
It didn’t stop there. Erin’s DWTS co-stars definitely have her back. Maksim tweeted: "I'm the one designing [Andrews'] dresses for the show, so I'll just assume that [Hasselbeck] is jealous… and stupid…."
Louis Van Amstel tweeted: I guess miss Hasselback was going after Erin this morning!!!Sharing ur opinion is one thing,being rude is another.Shame on u elizabeth!
She was on my case 4 using our waltz 4 'Equality' in STORYLINE week,now she's throwing Erin under the bus.Erin is dealing w it so good,leave her alone.Aren't u all working for the same network ABC/ESPN????U should have eachother's back,not trashtalk Erin.Im done enough said….
@ehasselbeck why did u have to throw @erinandrewsespn under the bus this morning?shame on u.
Even Evan Lysacek tweeted: "So disappointed that anyone would attack [her] after all she's been through."
This morning, Elisabeth addressed the situation on The View, tearfully saying that she had called Andrews to personally apologize after her five-year-old daughter Grace recommended it.
“So, thankfully, I listened to her — she’s a wise little girl — and I did,” said Hasselbeck. “So, I’m really sorry, and I wanted to offer that publicly too, even though I did follow that advice.”
That was really smart of Elisabeth to apologize, before the whole cast of DWTS came after her! But we have to say, that probably took a lot for her to admit how wrong she was!

"ABC has asked me to keep doing these specials as they have been so successful -- and I'm thrilled we have such great stars and have such a wonderful show -- but to be honest, I feel like I've 'been there, done that,'" Walters said on The View Monday.
"This special has been a labor of love for 29 years. I will always remember when Hugh Jackman gave me a private lap dance or sitting down with the legendary Bette Davis or being taught to tango by Al Pacino," Walters remembered. "It's those priceless moments that have made this special the Oscar tradition that it has become, but I truly feel enough is enough."
Barbara will still continue to host her annual "10 Most Fascinating People" special.
The last Oscar special will air on the night of the Oscars, March 7.

Now Victoria returns to the chat fest as a sit-in host, and plans on discussing her dress line for women. In fact, she recently revealed that she and Jennifer Lopez share the same dress size.
Victoria told 10 Magazine, “My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. Who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!”
We know J. Lo looks great right now, but no one is as skinny as Victoria! Catch her on The View and see for yourself on February 17th.
