Should've Been You, Hasselcrack, Should've Been You

Joy Behar, quit The View today after being on it since episode one, because she says she wants to focus on her stand-up career or whatever. Hmmm, I'm trying to figure out which is the better option:

1. Make a mountain of money to talk shit while sitting in a comfortable chair a few hours a day, four days a week.

or

2. Get out of bed in the morning knowing that you don't have to look at Elisabeth Hasselcrack's annoying face in person that day.

Joy went with option #2 and told Deadline that for almost 17 years she's been one of the hens loudly pecking at the other hens and she's done with it.

“You reach a point when you say to yourself, ‘Do I want to keep doing this?’ There are other things on my plate I want to do — I’ve been writing a play, I’ve been neglecting my standup.

I have a lot of friends [at The View], and I will miss everyone I’ve worked with because we have a family there. It is a smart talk show because somebody of [Barbara's] stature is leading the conversation; Barbara was one of the main reasons I took that job."

Joy's HLN show was dropped into the shit can and her show on Current TV will end once the network gets taken over by Al Jazeera. Joy, who will stay with The View until the summer, is talking to CNN about possibly doing a show there.

Joy's replacement probably won't be announced for a while, but Brooke Shields and Alexandra Wentworth are supposedly talking to the producers of The View about taking that second chair. Brooke Shields and Alexandra Wentworth? Nope. They might as well replace Joy with an over-boiled piece of cauliflower if they're thinking of replacing her with Brooke Sheilds and Alexandra Wentworth. Here's my top 5 choices for Joy's replacement:

1. Tan Mom
2. Rosie O'Donnell (but only if The View agrees to not let her bear handlers try to tame her when she jumps on Elisabeth)
3. Tard the Grumpy Cat
4. A shark who only eats blondes
5. Jon Hamm's Hammaconda

or The View can just pretend that Joy Behar never left and put Fred Armisen as Joy in the second chair every day.

We'll never know the difference.

Oh, yes, I forgot to agree with everybody that Sherri is the dunce of all time. I don't understand how she did so well on 30 Rock, because the woman cannot form a cognitive thought.

So nice to hear Hasslecrack got fired. I don't watch this crapfest, but I have nothing against Joy. The chick is old, though; she should retire and buy a condo in Boca.

That show went to hell in a hand basket as soon as Meredith left the moderator's chair. First the Rosie O'Donnell Show 2.0, now Whoopi who just makes me groan and roll my eyes every time she voices her opinion. I could handle Elizabeth only because I figured she'd be gone in a year or two like all the other girls who sat in her chair. Young professional just starting out in life? Professional what? Celiac right wing footballer's wife? But when they added that queen of idiocy Sherri. I stopped watching less than a year after she joined.

The only thing that ever annoyed me about Joy was that she was making Clinton/Monica jokes for years after he left office.(Sometimes though, I think she wishes it was her under that desk.) Other than continuing to beat that dead horse, I liked her. She was also the ONLY "comedienne" up there when the show started so with all the serious professionals (Merideth, Lisa Ling, and Barbara being journalists, and Star the Lawyer) she was able to lighten up the conversation with a quick one liner. Leaving the show is probably the best career move she's made since joining. Best of luck to her.

She can make a lot of money doing standup (aka torturing)at Gitmo.

^THIS --- not to mention her hideous grating voice.

Oh please let it be Tan Mom!!! I might actually watch the show then.

Then this marks the beginning of my advertising/art career because one of my first intern assignments was putting together the View kits for all the affiliates. Break out the Andre!

I have not watched in years. I look over every once in a while. It's unwatchable. It's not fresh. I don't like Sherri and Elisabeth.

The entire cast needs to go or start drinking like Hoda and Kathie Lee. Can't stand any of them - Sherri Shepherd's a dumbass, Hasselcrack's voice and wide-eyed innocent routine annoy me as much as Kelly Ripa, Whoopi's "rape rape" comment turned me against her forever and Walters kisses too much celebrity ass. Ali Wentworth would fit right in - loud, annoying and full of herself.

Her nighttime talk show is suffering too.

This shit show has been on for SEVENTEEN years?! God, everything is making me feel old lately.

Not that it makes any difference, because I'll never watch it, but I agree with BSF that they should just change ALL of them out. I guess they could keep Barbara or somebody if they absolutely had to, so it could avoid being labeled as a completely new show. Who watches that crap anyway?

I never understand that either. Why do they come here? Or, rather, why get involved in the comments?

Fred Armisen FTW! lol Option #2 forever. No more Hasslecrack, priceless. And that's been on 17 years already!??

I got some old moldy vegetables in my refrigerator smarter than Sheri Shepard. I seriously have heard her say some of the dumbest crap on TV. Hasselcrack is an idiot too, but she at least has the IQ of one of my oranges.

Whoopie acts like she is forever high. I bet she keeps her reefers in her dreads.

This show needs to end now.

I tried to watch that show once. They all started talking over each other, I couldn't stand it.

This crap has been on for 17 years? How's that!

Has that show really been on the air for nearly 17 years?? Holy. Balls.

Joy is so funny and smart. Love her! Occasionally when I have the day off I don't watch it because I cannot stand Sherri Sheperd and many times Whoopi.

During the Oscars, Sherri could not stop talking about, "he's white" or making some kind of color reference. On The View, its, "I told my son to be quiet because we're in a 'white' store". WTH? Can she speak without referring to people's colors? She is such an annoying racist.

I say put in one of my two favorite YouTube vloggers:

Either one would be 10 times funnier than the ladies on there now.

She and Whoopi are the only ones I like.

I am with you but if those are the 2 choices I go with Allie Wentworth cos she is at least funny.

Tyroan's picture

Gotta respectfully disagree with MK on this one... I watch this show a couple times a year, and the stupid blonde one provides all the entertainment.

However, its nice to see how Joy drives our token conservatives batshit crazy. Mazel tov!

She didn't quit because of her stand up 'career', it was because viewers were sick of her ultra-liberal, ignorant, bullyish attitude. Bitch couldn't utter one intelligent sentence and literally harped "sooo wahaaaaatt??" to any political discussion.

I still cant believe she's 70.

I don't watch Bill O'Reilly's The Factor much but I do know he occasionally has a body language "expert" on. Well, I was watching Bill's show one time when this expert was reading his body language from a clip of his recent appearance on The View. It was funny because she avoided diagnosing his actual sitting posture. (Maybe Bill's staff asked the expert not to talk about it before she came on because he might have been embarrassed? Or maybe they purposely did this segment because Bill was getting shit about it in the mail? Don't know.) O'Reilly was sitting perched on the very edge of the seat with his legs spread wide apart and both hands folded in front of his testicles. It seemed to me he wanted to flee but instead just tried to look masculinely relaxed while fending off castration.

They need to bring on someone that won't cater to Barbara and Bitsy. Word to the fact that they need to replace Whoopi and Sherri. They don't bring anything other than their Dancing with the Stars discussions.

We need intelligent women!!!!!

Ohhh, wait.

There was a blind item (I think on CDAN) about a star on a show having cancer and only people close to her knowing about it. She isn't doing as well as hoped and wanted to pursue stand up, possibly.

I really hope that that blind was not about Joy!

It says movie star, but anyone reading that site regularly knows that Enty fudges details to keep it blurry.

I can't imagine an easier job in show business than being a yenta on "The View". There has to be another reason for her departure.

And Joy leaving means the only original member left is Barbara.

Ok, we have to have Tan mom, Kkia, we need the 'excuse my beauty' of Jocelyn Wildenstein, gotta have Mama June...we need a conservative, so Victoria Jackson...and the voice of reason, the Baba Wawa position goes to...who else? OctoMom... Shut up whores, you'd sooo watch that show.

In fact, I think we should vote to replace ALL ho's on tv. Yeah, I think Dlisted and it's ho's should pretty much take over all media...

They should take this as an opportunity to clean house and replace ALL the hosts. I mean Sherry Shepherd? Elizabitch Hasselcrack? Fuck were they thinking? Whoopi lost me with "rape rape" comments. And I ain't saying Baba is old, but she did report live on the scene when Lucifer was kicked outta heaven. Retire already!

Reboot!!
