The View

Season 9 (167 Episodes)

22 Seasons 1997 - Present TV-14 1h 00m 2.5

Five women with very different outlooks on politics, Hollywood and it's stars, and current events discuss these and other divisive topics of the day. Originated by Barbara Walters and currently (2021) led by longtime host, Whoopi Goldberg.

Created in 1997 by veteran journalist Barbara Walters, "The View" is a daytime talk show hosted by women -- including Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Meghan McCain, and Sara Haines -- and each offers her take on the day's news during the opening "Hot Topics" segment. Later, the ladies welcome various celebrities, who join them in a chat or perform for the audience. The program also offers tips on beauty, fashion, diet, and relationships. Known for their freewheeling style, the hosts are often lampooned in late-night sketches.
