Meredith Vieira's View Comeback

Get ready for a big reunion! Former View moderator Meredith Vieira is coming back for a visit on Monday, October 8. Meredith will be telling the ladies all about the upcoming Who Wants to Be a Millionaire DVD game. But don't be surprised if she also throws in her two cents about the hot topics du jour. It's Meredith's first time on The View since she left in June 2006, so anything could happen. Remember when she gave Wesley Snipes a lap dance on the air? Or when she vamped around in a dominatrix outfit? How about when Meredith and Joy had a faux hair-pulling catfight? Or when... Well, you get the picture. The woman is wild!

Meredith is gonna have her face in a Millionaire game?! Say it ain't so! I've been waiting for this since 2002.

I LOVE Meredith! LOVE HER, LOVE HER, LOVE HER!

I love Mere too, but, if tha's really what ABC posted about the appearance, do you THINK they could have backstabbed her anymore? I mean, the hair-pulling, the lap dance -- those aren't the marks of a serious journalist.

I'm putting two and two together here, and I don't like the answer I'm getting.

Either ABC has it in for Mere for deserting them, or the intern or Web editor who typed that crap up REALLY has it in for her -- or doesn't get what such remarks could have on her image as a serious newswoman.

If Meredith didn't want to be remembered for doing those things, she wouldn't have done them.

I just honestly think all of those memories just show her to be an outgoing and fun person as well as animated...I doubt the person who wrote it has anything against her.

Anyways, I just bet on the show she will become more of a moderator rather than a guest :)

serious news personalities dont host morning shows like Today, either.

But "Today" is several cuts above "The View" in terms of respect and for it being a news organization, under the banner "NBC News." The same is untrue of "The View." It's not a news show.

It just is.

I'm sure NBC won't appreciate people "reminding" viewers how beloved Mere was when she, on national TV, talked about being freaked out to learn her son was already masturbating, or any of the other things that journalists, even at the "Today" level, don't discuss or want to be known for.

Trust me guys, as someone in the news business who recognizes the distinction in this example, the person who wrote that copy was out to get Meredith or she or he was just stupid enough to not realize that viewers and industry types who read between the lines can see a concerted attempt to fluffify someone who has returned to a more respected news position.

Honestly I don't see Meredith Viera as a serious news personality, nor do I see the rest of morning news crew. I just don't, so her revisiting The View doesn't bother me that much.

I can understand why you don't see her that way, and that's fine. But the fact is, Today does come under the "NBC News" banner; therefore, she is a news personality.

And for a show that can't even say, "We'll be back after these messages," but has to say (and it annoys me, but I understand the need to not blur news and advertising), "But first, this is Today on NBC" (which, in that context, really makes no sense), I can't imagine them happy about Mere's revisiting "The View."
