“The View” Co-Hosts Salary Demands
Ratings on The View have shot through the roof this season–and so have the co-hosts’ salary demands.
The daytime gabfest, currently ranked No.2 among women aged 18-49, has experienced a ratings boom in recent weeks. The View now averages 4.2 million viewers a day thanks to the newly-extended “Hot Topics” segment. But the Season 12 ratings success has lead to money demands for hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd, and Joy Behar, who now want a bigger piece of the pie.
A National Enquirer informant says: “Barbara thinks their new salary demands are outrageous–some are asking for several million dollars–and she told one confident-’They should all be ashamed of themselves–I’ve never seen a greedier bunch.’”

I hope you get rid of elisabeth hasselback soon. She diminishes the View. She never shuts up. She interupts all the other women hosts on the show and constantly seeks to bring attention to herself, by raising her voice and yelling out loud or screaching. When ignored by the other ladies, she sits and pouts. She needs to learn to listen. She also needs to give the other women of the show a chance to express their views. She continiously tries to argue with the other hosts, who are very gracious and polite to her. That mouth of hers has got to go. I say make her disappear , into neverland.

Yes…yes…yes…I agree. Get rid of Elizabeth. I have never liked her. Eventhough sometimes I agree with what she is saying. It is embarrassing to females the way she rudly demands to be heard. Other people can voice their opinions without screaming over the other co hosts. This has really gotton old and it makes the show unpleasant. Now she wants more money. The network is crazy if they keep her much less pay her MORE money. No Way……! Please fix this, get rid of Elizabeth…….. Thanks………. linda

Sherry never says anything smart or informational – asks scripted questions or talks about her son. Joy is always without fact just liberal – no facts please. Whoopi – what an amazing actress- usually left of center but willing to listen, Babs a devoted democrat but wants no taxes (ditto Whoopi and Elizabeth a bit too strident and boring but pretty clothes

I watched with disgust as these two overpaid ,big mouthed. hasbeens walked off the set O”Reiley was an invited guest and they knew all about his beliefs when they invited him, We were attacked by muslims were the men who bombed Pearl Harbour radicals?Were the germans who marched into Poland radicals Was the Major who killed 13 and injured over 20 a radical,were the thousands of muslims who danced in the streets and shouted death to America radicals celebrating the murder of thousands on 9/11
Every time we have been attacked since WW2 has been by the muslims.
For the two performers to start screaming so loud that we the audience could not even understand what the devil they were saying was Not acceptable
The next day miss Walters told them you do not leave your home,All well and good but you don’t invite a guest into your home, and start screaming at him because you don’t like how he phrased a comment.
As far as the mosque is concernd it should NOT be built so near to the attack site Muslims build these monuments to what they consider a victory, even the nome of it should tell you that. but perhaps with all thier education that Joy likes to brag about, they have NO street smarts and give me a person with street smarts over a Harvard education any day.
Perhaps next time you have obama on the ladies could ask some serios questions instead of the powder puff questions that were asked in between the over the top fawning that was going on.What has happened to the America I have known we don’t even get the news anymore When Bush was in we were told about the wars everyday, If it was not for my grandson i would not have heard about all the lives that have been lost Shame on the lot of you.

The name of the show should be our view only

to the ladies of the view, i watch daily only to see what your thoughts are on different subjects, you often talk of homosexuals, and dare anyone to disagree with such life style. i am surpraise Elizabeth and Sherrie have not quoted romans 1st chapter, beganning witn the 18th verse. they often speak of their faith which is good, i believe man should live by Gods word, and know that life style is wrong. your thinking only encourage our young to live an ungodly life. and no they should not be allowed to adopt children. i do respect both ladies for standing up for beening christians, as joy try very hard to make them question their belief in god. again, the disrespect you show elizabeth is sad, and also others whom don’t agree with your thinking such as bill oreilly. you should go back and look as past news clips of muslims in the street showing thier dislike for this country. and for the illigels that come into this country without proper papers, its wrong. we have laws in this country that apply to everyone and i think perhaps for your house cleaners also, because you are so defensive of what arizona is doing to protect themselves; you don’t live there and have no idea the fear of those whom do, have of criminals crossing their borders and committing criminal acts. if its not stopped now, it will be just like whats happening in mexico now, alot ot murders and other offer crimes. you must open your minds and look at the whole picture. we have become so lax about our country,, accepting everything and anything; and to question the laws of this country to keep us safe,is just wrong. last but not least stop this attack on elizabeth, and stop treating her like some idiiot because she dare to give her opinions on what she believe and will not be swayed to your thinking. you are the ones whom look bad, not her.

Hey Behar whats up with that commnent you made on thursday’s show about how Jennefer Lopez shouldn’t be in American Idol because she was upset about telling one of the contestants they didn’t make the cut. You should talk, you walked out of the show when you couldn’t control your anger towards a guest you had in the show. Oh how quickly you forget to be human and where is your professionalism there.

I feel Sherry’s promotion of Chris Rock’s offensive, vulgar language was not necessary. She may have liked his performance, but I think it was ill advised to repeat such offensive language on The View. Your show is classier than that!!!!

Joy Behar asked a member of the Royal Family as they were being interviewed (live) by Barbara Walters if Joy is considered a “Commoner”; the answer is yes, but sadly you are just plain Common. I was mortified for Barbara and Joy’s lack of decorum.
Joy is another Italian that doesn’t like to be labeled as a typical Soprano-like Italian. You proved to be one in front of millions.
Go to your local library and start with The Ugly American, then perhaps diction, etc., etc.
