Original cast

The talk show started with the following presenters: Meredith Vieira , Star Jones, Debbie Matenopoulos, and Barbara Walters . Joy Behar and Barbara Walters changed from 1997 to 1998 on a weekly basis. Debbie Matenopoulos was criticized by viewers with the argument that she did not fit into the show. Some critics also agreed with this opinion. Therefore, ABC broke the contract with her in 1999 and the journalist Lisa Ling became the new co-host.

In 2002 Lisa Ling got out again and switched to the National Geographic Channel , a year later journalist Elisabeth Hasselbeck was introduced as the new co-host.

Season 10

2006 Meredith Vieira left the show and then hosted the morning show on NBC , the Today Show .

During the 33rd Daytime Emmy Awards in 2006, Rosie O'Donnell was introduced as the new main presenter. Star Jones, who disagreed with O'Donnell's signing as the new lead host because she had previously joked about Star Jones' severe weight loss, allegedly associated with illness, left the talk show in response.

Season 11

In 2007 O'Donnel left the talk show after an argument with Elisabeth Hasselbeck. According to O'Donnell, however, it was not the argument itself, but its distorted or exaggerated presentation, that was the reason for their departure. In September 2007, the actresses Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd were presented as a new main presenter and a new co-presenter. The View is the first talk show on US television to be hosted by two "blacks" and two "whites" .

Behar was deeply shocked by the statement, got up and said: "I don't want to sit next to this man" and left the studio, Goldberg followed her. The applause that followed was immediately stopped by Walters, saying, “ You just saw what shouldn't happen.
