I love watching the VIEW...talk about serendipitous honesty!

I have only looked at the photo under the caption "Anderson Interviews the Hosts of The View" and I noticed that Whoopi Goldberg is absent. Is there something going on?

ca not wait to see this

Oh brother. I can't believe they got an award. Influential?? I think not.

I was wondering if taking products with Elderberry extract would help avoid the Swine Flu ? I started taking New chapter's organic product called Immunity take care support and also Garden of life's product's RM-10 Ultra which are mainly Mushrooms to help with your immune system and make it stronger. I do realize it would not hurt but just wonder if it will make any diffrence with this Swine Flu ?

Frankly, who cares. Barbara lost it with me when she sucked up to Castro. Never watch the show, I have important things to.

Oooooo, a 'sneak peek' !!! C'mon you guys........ this is sooooo stupid.

I know you have to do this because of Time Warner, but it's really ridiculous. What's next? "The sexiest party strategist"?

Please stick to actual news. We can get this stuff (if we wanted it) on Entertainment Tonight.

I think influential simply means they are willing to take on any topic .

If you ever watch this show, it will make you wonder– "Why is Joy named Joy"?

She is the most sour-pussed woman I've ever seen. Didn't her mother tell her that her face may freeze like that?

She nor Whoopie have any influence over me at all. Well, maybe a little–I promise to NOT be like them.

they are only infuential if you agree with there views and that is mostly extremely liberal. I don't think any of them have ever had an original thought on any subject.

I watch "The View" but I do question how they influence the world.How many countries actually watch it and are influenced by it.

I enjoy watching The View. There are 5 different women with viewpoints and lifestyles that make them all unique. No one will agree with every view that is made and like Joy said that is why it's called "The View". It's like sitting with your friends and dicussing daily topics and viewpoints. I feel like the group of ladies they have now is the best fit of all.

I love The View, I think Joy & Whoopi are the best! All the ladies pretty much speak their minds but these two ladies are not hung up on being politically correct. Some times you just have to say what you mean and mean what you say (sorry for the cliche). I believe it influences other to do the same especially when your watching the show.

I don't watch the view because I think it is boring. I don't think these ladies or the show is influential at all – just pesky and another of those talk shows which means absolutely nothing. We seem to have a lot of those on anymore.

I was a faithful watcher, until their behavior during The primaries and The elections. I can not know how some women, who are supposed to be for the advancement of women, could disrespect another woman like they did with Gov. Palin. A few on that show should be fired for their behavior. And believe me they know who they are. Don't agree with her political views, that's fine, but leave the personel stuff out of it.

I'm not really a fan of "The View", but I enjoyed your post. I can't believe it took over six hours to set up the shot. It's interesting to know that something that looks so simple to 'we the viewer' is really a mammoth undertaking on your end.

shucks, if Whoopi aint there, I aint watching.

Heeeey!!! Was it in their recording studio near Trump residences at Riverside Blvd. Wow!!

Sherrie Shepherd is a lot better then Star Jones (who prefers to claw our Andy) when it comes to self confidence and body weight and her busty figure. Great stand-up comedian.

I bet it was a treat for Anderson Cooper.

"He also asked about guests they would love to have on their show, hot topics and of course the question we all want to know: Do they honestly like each other?"

UGH!

Please tell me that this Most Influential People thing is regarding the US alone....cuz, you know, the rest of the world doesn't know (or care for) Barbara Walters and Co. I don't watch the View and judging the clips I saw of the show over the years, I don't think I'm missing out.

Tape the view everyday just so I can fastforward through Elizabeth's diatribe...love the show very tired of her soapbox .issues..Love the others......

Whoopi and Joy really make the view interesting and different. I'm so glad they talk about all subjects. I'm from the old school, therefore I love the Hot Topics.
