Sherri Getting the Boot from 'The View?'

0731walters.jpg

"The View" is once again a veritable hotbed of controversy -- and it's only getting spicier! "Extra" is on rumor control as we track down talk queen Barbara Walters and ask her to set the record straight on stories that fellow host Sherri Shepherd is getting the boot from the Emmy-winning show!

The rumors follow Shepherd's controversial remarks to a Christian magazine about "saving" Walters, who is Jewish. "We can argue but it is never personal," reveals Babs. "There is no possibility of Sherri or anybody else on that cast getting fired."

Walters also nixed reports that her memoir, "Audition," will be adapted for the big screen. "I don't want it. I won't allow it," states Barbara, "Because I don't want anyone playing my sister -- I don't want anyone playing my father. I don't care who they have playing me, but it's the other family members I care about."

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE OF JOY AND BARBARA PLEASE.

I think Elisabeth is a know it all. She is the youngest on the show and acts like she has some real life experiences. It’s ok for her to voice her opinion but SHUT THE HELL UP! sometimes and learn something. Most of the time she speaks ignorant and just looks like a dumb blonde(fake). She gives real blondes a bad name.

Today’s show (Monday 1/26/09) was an insult and a bore with Barbara Walters “appearing” on a TV screen in order to participate in the entre to the show and to, also, conduct the interview with the slimy governor from Illinois, Gov. Blagovich. After watching the the entre and a few minutes of the Blagovish interview, I TURNED OFF THE TV. The three hosts, Whoopi, Joy and Sherri should have the done the show WITHOUT BARBARA VIA A TV!

This was a complete turnoff

I am sick & tired of Elisabeth too. All she does is whine. It is so much better of a show when she is not there. Get a life Elisabeth. We want to hear more about the real world than your everyday whiny life. How does your husband take it? I would wear earplugs if I had to hear her all day.

Please let Sherri go. She thinks she knows everything and the only time I saw her comment educational was when Obama was on “The View”. I think she studied all night long on what she was going to comment. I don’t like her!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is Prejudice!

I so sick of hearing Elisabeth whine. OMG get a life. She is always on the attack. Hey Elisabeth this is not a sport, so quit acting like your losing.
Its so nice when she is away. I record the show everyday, and the great thing is that now I just skip her whinning.

I think the show stinks now…if I wanted to see a bunch of women in a catfight, I’d watch Jerry Springer.

I get so tired of Joy and her negativeness on so many things and that
she doesn’t allow anyone else to have an opinion.I think as a country we are greedy and we forget that both parties have contributed to a lot of downfalls in this country. It didn’t happen overnight and we forget about the last 20 years all the decisions that have been made. We forget our family values what about Mr. Clintons disgracing us
nationally?? We do forget very fast, 9/11 we forget very fast???

Elisabeth is such a tool! Sherrie just plain stupid, and Babs should go back to ABC News where she is still credible.

Why does this site never indicate the number of disagreements. Everytime I hit “disagree” it comes up that I “agree!” What??

Diane, you make such a great point. I’m tired of that stuff, myself. It’s just that the show is allowed to be one-sided, and that’s why whoop gets to go on and on and on. Get over it. I mean, she’s pretty well-known, right? She’s had a lot of success in her life, right? She can’t relate to the people she keeps yapping about anymore than any of the others can.

I think the show should be cancelled after listening to whoopi talk anymore makes my stomach turn. When she said we live in two worlds(the blacks and the whites),and went on to say my grandmother couldn’t even vote back when…. Hello its 2008 2008, move on already. It’s terrible what happened back then, I feel for everybody who had to LIVE through that but its 2008 we people of TODAY had nothing to do with that so move on already.. IT’s usually the african americans who do not want to move on, play the race card and poor us. THIS IS WHAT SCARES ME HAVEING A BLACK PRESIDENT, DOES HE THINK THAT WE LIVE IN 2 WORLDS, GOD I HOPE NOT CAUSE IF SO we,you know who I mean, ARE IN ALOT OF TROUBLE.

I like Sherri Shepherd. She brings a unique perspective to The View. I love Joy and Whoopi. Whoopi makes me want to watch this show every day. I can’t stand Elisabeth. If anyone should leave the view please let it be Elisabeth. I also don’t like Barbara. She hinders intelligent discourse. She kisses up to everyone but seems like a snake. I hope she doesn’t let Sherri go.

I think the View is a great show and those of you saying to boot anyone off defeats the purpose of the show called “The View”. I love the aurguments and how they have a balance of liberal,democrate, and republican people representing. No one should be kicked off come on! As for Sheri, give her a break. Becareful! if you judge her by her comment watch out it could come to bite you in the back, you might find that you become a victim of your own comments.

everyone is talking about sherri but isn’t thats what the view is all about different views from each panel member.sherri has bought a breath of fresh air to a dying show that was going no where but now that it is the all mighty barbara is ready to give her the booth, its just like donald trumph said its time for two faced barbara to go she has no credible character at all.

I think Whoopie should go. She always seems so bored, and she is a know it all. They ruined the show when she came on!

I’m proud of Elizabeth and Sherri for speaking up with a different viewpoint. Even though everyone may not always agree with what they have to say, both sides need to be heard so that we can truly hear and understand from both ends of the spectrum. There are people who watch the show from both viewpoints—Conservative or Liberal—and so Barbara is smart to keep hosts of varying opinions on the show to keep viewer interest.
