Members Khan Posted February 8, 2015 Members Share Posted February 8, 2015 Exactly. Another idea: ditch two of the hosts and make their replacements male. (No, Mario Cantone will not do.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted February 8, 2015 Members Share Posted February 8, 2015 Two women and two men...from.different backgrounds..kind of like the five on fox news I'm wondering if perhaps.Rosie O can't handle the grind of a talk.show plus have a long term.relationship. what is she on.medication for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 8, 2015 Members Share Posted February 8, 2015 I don't think the grind of a talk show and her relationship status have anything to do with the other. Throughout The Rosie O'Donnell Show she was with her partner (later wife) Kelli Carpenter, it's just that it wasn't public knowledge. Rosie's on medication for depression for sure. She may be on other medications related to blood pressure or cholesterol, but her gastric sleeve surgery has been a mammoth success and she's lost a huge amount of weight and is likely far healthier than she's been in 20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 8, 2015 Members Share Posted February 8, 2015 I liked Joy as well. They should just bring back Joy and Barbara and end the View in May. Nicole is a nice lady but I find her very boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 8, 2015 Members Share Posted February 8, 2015 How is Meredith Vieira's show doing? Is there any chance at all of convincing her and/or Lisa Ling to return? I feel the show lost a lot when it lost those two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted February 8, 2015 Members Share Posted February 8, 2015 Meredith's show is doing well, plus the money is incredible compared to the salary she was paid during The View. Lisa Ling is a "serious journalist" now and lives mostly in Chicago with her doctor husband, last I heard, so I don't see her returning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted February 9, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 That article delivers some exciting tea. THE VIEW is a mess, on and off screen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 The Yahoo article is startling in how sympathetic it is to O'Donnell, who has so often been subject to public lashings. It's obvious the show is an absolute mess behind the scenes and it's time to pull the plug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 What is true for soaps is also true for talk shows: micromanagement kills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 In a way, I think Rosie was relieved at the outset not to be the moderator. From reading the Yahoo! article, though, I get the impression that Rosie stepped up only because neither Whoopi nor anyone at ABC News was really taking the show seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 9, 2015 Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 Absolutely! The thing about The Rosie O'Donnell Show, like The Young and the Restless, is that it ran, successfully, on a single vision. Micromanagement and too many cooks in the kitchen is a show killer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
