The View on ABC

The View is a multi- Emmy Award nominated American daytime television talk show on ABC created by Barbara Walters, Bill Geddie, and Jessica Guff. The show features a panel of women as co-hosts, as of September 2006 consisting of Rosie O'Donnell, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Barbara Walters. The show premiered on August 11, 1997. It is produced and videotaped at ABC's television studio on West 66th Street in New York City, and is the first and only show on ABC's daytime schedule to broadcast in high definition.

The concept of The View is to showcase women with a range of perspectives, as they speak with each other as well as with their guests. An early version of the show's opening credits, with voice-over from Walters, captured the premise.

After Lisa Ling joined the show, Barbara's voice-over changed in the opening: "I had this idea for a show. Different women with different points of view, maybe a little too different. We call it The View." Popular segments were "Hot Topics", Meredith's Club, Star's Heart-to-Heart, Joy's Comedy Corner, and Segment 5. Friday shows were titled "High Five Fridays" with all five ladies at the table.

The show opens each day with "Hot Topics," in which the co-hosts provide their commentary on the day's top headlines in politics and entertainment.

The year 2006 saw the departure of two of the show's original co-hosts: Meredith Vieira on June 9 and Star Jones Reynolds on June 27. As of April 2007 there is an open co-host slot to be filled.
