The ABC mainstay has cycled through multiple hosts, with each bringing their own opinions and personalities to the table. Now, the program is going back to its roots for the 25th season.<\/p>\n<p>That means bringing back some of the most popular hosts from seasons gone by. People <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tv\/meredith-vieira-star-jones-elisabeth-hasselbeck-returning-to-the-view-season-25-celebration\/\">reported<\/a> that beginning in February, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck will be joining current panelists to guest co-host \u201cThe View.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All three women represent some of the longest-running hosts in the show\u2019s history. Vieira, 68, and Jones, 59, are two of the original cast members who were there for the August 1997 premiere. Hasselbeck, 44, hosted from 2003 until 2013, and returned for a guest spot in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Legendary broadcast journalist Barbara Walters created the show as a place for several generations of women to come together and discuss issues of the day. The original panel included Vieira, Jones, and Walters, along with Joy Behar and Debbie Matenopoulos.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative viewpoints have always been in the minority on \u201cThe View.\u201d The most recent conservative on the panel, Meghan McCain, exited the talk show in 2021 citing a \u201ctoxic work environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/why-meghan-mccain-left-view-variety\/\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, McCain made a joke after returning from maternity leave, saying, \u201cYou must have missed me so much,\u201d during a segment. Behar replied with a biting, \u201cI did not miss you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you watch the clip, her reaction is very sharp,\u201d McCain told EW while explaining she was experiencing postpartum anxiety at that time. \u201cI did end up being able to go back on-air \u2026 After the show, I went back to my office and I had a panic attack,\u201d the former host continued. \u201cI couldn\u2019t stop crying, and I\u2019m not always crying. I couldn\u2019t compose myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hasselbeck didn\u2019t fare much better as a conservative voice on \u201cThe View.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, she said that an ABC exec told her the show was \u201cgoing in a less political direction,\u201d so they wouldn\u2019t be renewing her contract, USA Today <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/life\/books\/2019\/03\/26\/the-view-host-elisabeth-hasselbeck-firing-book-point-of-view\/3236160002\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could not breathe \u2014 literally, could not breathe,\u201d she explained, saying she even \u201casked permission\u201d to go get her inhaler. \u201cI was bent over \u2014 shock, asthma and betrayal all stealing my wind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After McCain left her position, co-hosts have kept changing. The New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/01\/08\/the-view-struggling-to-find-a-real-conservative-co-host\/\">reported<\/a> that a former ABC News executive said, \u201cIt\u2019s driving Whoopi [Goldberg] crazy. Having people come in and out with no one permanent interrupts the flow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But so far, the search to find a conservative who\u2019s willing to take on the outspoken, unabashed liberal co-hosts on the show has been challenging for the network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t underestimate how mean some of the people at the table can be,\u201d the former executive said. \u201cThere are those who won\u2019t want to sign on because of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018The View\u2019 hasn\u2019t had a conservative host in a long time,\u201d Daily Wire\u2019s Candace Owens told the Post. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was kind of a joke to hire Meghan McCain in the Trump era. She was not reflecting the views of conservatives in the country and she was lambasting us. They have a fear of having a true conservative on the network. These ladies aren\u2019t exactly the most intellectual ladies. I don\u2019t think they work in truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
