If you saw Tuesday's show with Chen's phony farewell, she mentioned guest host Carrie Ann Inabla, 50, 'looked pretty comfortable in that moderator's chair'. Inabla has been angling to join the show (when she found out over the weekend Chen had made up her mind to leave).
Wendy Williams points out Inabla is a horrible talks show host (I agree) and the reason Chen is pushing her is sinister - she wants the show to fail without her there. She knows how horrible Inabala is, too - and she thinks she will get the show canceled if she takes the seat permanently.
Wendy is an awful talk show host herself so she has no room to talk about someone else's hosting skills. She also has no room calling anyone else's tears phony when she cries at the drop of a hat.
I personally like Carrie Ann but I'd prefer Garcelle as a replacement.
Thanks for the correction - I always thought it was Inabla (that's how I've always heard it, I thought).
Funny - Wendy also didn't approving of Chen's pushing an "Asian Sister" for the seat, which I didn't have any trouble with her doing that. If it was Sheryl leaving, and she pushed for a 'Black Sister' to take her seat, I question if Wendy would be critical of that?
As for the phony tears, I agree with Wendy 100% - I said they were phony myself. That exit speech was well-rehearsed, and she cried on cue. That was more than obvious - it didn't come across as sincere in the least. I'd like to know how many 'takes' they went through to get "just the right one"?
Wendy wouldn't have batted an eyelash if Sheryl said she wanted a "black sister". I think she was just looking for something to complain about there.
Ha! I agree Julie would be the least likely person to win the award for "most genuine person" but I thought her tears were real for the most part. She and Sharon hate each other but she seemed to like the other women so I can buy her missing them. I also think her tears came from a place of embarrassment and shame because her career is basically over and she has to shield her son from all this the best she can. Julie's always struck me as the image obsessed type and this whole mess with her husband has shattered that and that played a big part in why she cried as well IMO.
Of course Chen wants the show to fail....that way she can tell herself that it tanked because SHE wasn't there to hold the show up...maybe she should look at it like the show is and never been on the same level as The View...it's a gossip fest about which celeb is dating which celeb...what celeb is wearing which designer...which Kardashian is pregnant...same shiat, different pile...while Carrie Ann seems like a nice lady, she is not a talk show host...wonder why Julie didn't push for Carnie? Maybe she knows that Carnie is better than herself...
One thing is visible, the ladies seem a whole lot more relaxed without Julie baggage holding them down....
Why do you post here if you hate this show so much? I don't give a crap about The View and what they're arguing about or who their 80th co-hen will be. Therefore I don't go to their board and troll it. You love that shrill shit so much, go there and brag about how perfect you think it is.
And you mention the Kardashians and gossip about nothing with your fellow half-wit more than these women do. That bit is stale. Get a new line please. You’ve certainly got the time...
O'Donnell and Inaba are both guest-hosting the CBS daytime talk show on Friday when it will be without Sara Gilbert. Chen last week endorsed Dancing with the Stars judge Inaba to replace her, saying to Inaba in her videotaped farewell message: “In my opinion you look awfully good sitting there, my Asian sister. I’m just saying!” But insiders say O'Donnell, who served two short-lived stints as The View co-host, "would make for dramatic headlines, and would get the most attention, and produce the biggest first-day-on-job ratings," according to Deadline's Lisa de Moraes. While some sources tell de Moraes that they don't see O'Donnell returning to the daytime talk show grind, Rosie hinted she might be up for permanently replacing Chen. When one Twitter user said that O'Donnell wouldn't want to move from the East Coast to Los Angeles where The Talk tapes, Rosie responded: "perhaps i would."
Rosie will destroy this show, but they'll certainly get the ratings they're after. There's no way it will avoid being a political mouthpiece with her at the helm.
