text: High School Musical

text: Plot[edit]

text: On New Year's Eve, high school juniors Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) meet at a party while both teens are at a ski lodge during winter break. At the party, the two are called upon to sing karaoke together ("Start of Something New"). They find that they have a connection and decide to exchange numbers before going their separate ways.

text: On the first day back at school after Christmas break, Troy sees Gabriella in his classroom and she explains that she just moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and transferred to East High School over the break. Troy then shows Gabriella around the school. Drama Club president Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) arrives and assumes that Gabriella is interested in auditioning. Wanting to eliminate competition, Sharpay investigates the new girl and has the scholastic decathlon captain and Chem Club president, Taylor McKessie (Monique Coleman), find out about Gabriella's past academic achievements, which results in her and Gabriella becoming great friends.

text: During basketball practice, Troy has trouble focusing because his thoughts are on Gabriella and the idea that he might enjoy singing in addition to basketball ("Get'cha Head in the Game"). Gabriella and Troy go to the musical auditions where Sharpay and her twin brother Ryan Evans (Lucas Grabeel) perform ("What I've Been Looking For"), but Troy and Gabriella are both too shy to audition. When Gabriella finally gains the confidence to step forward once the auditions are unofficially "over", Troy offers to sing with her, but drama teacher Ms Darbus (Alyson Reed) tells them that they are too late and leaves. Kelsi Nielsen (Olesya Rulin), the musical's composer, trips and drops her music all over the stage. Troy and Gabriella rush to help her, and they sing together as Kelsi plays the piano ("What I've Been Looking For (Reprise)"). Ms Darbus overhears them and gives them a callback audition.

text: When the callback list is posted, Sharpay discovers that she has competition for the lead in the musical, and the rest of the Wildcats are shocked that Troy has auditioned. Other students confess their own secret passions and talents ("Stick to the Status Quo"), alarming Taylor and Troy's best friend Chad Danforth (Corbin Bleu). Since Gabriella has agreed to join the scholastic decathlon team, both Taylor and Chad want their teammates to focus on their upcoming competitions rather than the musical. In the locker room, Troy is tricked by his teammates into saying that Gabriella is not important while she watches through a video conference that the scholastic decathlon team had set up through a hidden webcam in cahoots with the basketballers. Gabriella gets extremely upset by his betrayal ("When There Was Me and You") and decides not to audition for the musical.

text: Troy is left confused as to why Gabriella did not want to audition anymore and is unable to concentrate on the game. Gabriella is also seen to be in low spirits. Realizing their mistake, Chad and the basketball team tell Troy what happened and offer to support him in callbacks. Troy goes to Gabriella's house and they reconcile.

text: After overhearing Gabriella and Troy practicing, Sharpay has Ms Darbus change the callback time to coincide with both the basketball championship and the scholastic decathlon to interfere with Gabriella and Troy's participation. Kelsi overhears the conversation and the basketball team and the decathlon team work together to come up with a plan. On the day of the competitions, Taylor and Gabriella use the school's computers to delay the championship game and the decathlon, by messing with the power in the gym and causing a chemical reaction that forces an evacuation. Troy and Gabriella rush to the auditorium while Sharpay and Ryan finish performing their callback song ("Bop to the Top"), confident that their plan worked. After Gabriella and Troy audition ("Breaking Free"), Ms Darbus gives the two the lead roles, making Sharpay and Ryan understudies.

text: Both teams win their respective competitions and the entire school gathers in the gym to celebrate ("We're All In This Together"). Chad asks Taylor out, and Sharpay makes peace with Gabriella.

text: In a post-credits scene, Zeke Baylor (Chris Warren Jr.) paces alone in the gym as Sharpay runs in declaring the cookies she rejected from him earlier "genius". She then hugs him and he says he will make her a crème brûlée. Zeke smiles in victory.

text: Cast[edit]

text:
Zac Efron as Troy Bolton, Gabriella's boyfriend, the most popular male student at East High School, and the captain of the varsity basketball team. On New Year's Eve, after singing with Gabriella, he finds himself developing a crush on her. Drew Seeley provides the singing voice of Troy Bolton, but Efron sings very briefly in five songs: "Start of Something New", "What I've Been Looking For (Reprise)", "Breaking Free", "We're All in This Together" and "I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You".
Vanessa Hudgens as Gabriella Montez, Troy's girlfriend, a new student and one of the brainiacs on the scholastic decathlon team. She develops a love for Troy after meeting him at a New Year's party.
Lucas Grabeel as Ryan Evans, Sharpay's twin brother. He is very easily pushed around by his sister but is not as mean as her, despite going along with her plans to sabotage Troy and Gabriella. He is also shown to not be particularly smart, such as not knowing how to spell "drama", never understanding Sharpay's plans and is admired by Kelsi.
Ashley Tisdale, as Sharpay Evans, Ryan's twin sister and an energetic and proud student with a love of theatre. She is very easily pushed around by her brother. She is very mean, unlike him, but enjoys being the center of attention, particularly Troy's and is admired by Zeke.
Corbin Bleu as Chad Danforth, Troy's friend, Taylor's love interest, and is very good friends with Jason and Zeke. He likes the status quo but later ends up dating Decathlon captain Taylor.
Monique Coleman as Taylor McKessie, Gabriella's friend, Chad's love interest, and is very good friends with Martha and Kelsi. She is captain of the school's scholastic decathlon team, and despises the basketball players and cheerleaders, believing them to be airheads, although she later ends up going out with Chad.
Joey Miyashima as Dave Matsui, a principal at East High. He does the morning announcements every day.
Bart Johnson as Jack Bolton, Troy's father and the coach of the basketball team. He has a mutual dislike with Ms. Darbus, thinks that theater is worthless, and also believes that Gabriella is a distraction to Troy's basketball career. However, he eventually comes around to it.
Olesya Rulin as Kelsi Nielsen, a friend of Gabriella and Taylor and a student at East High. She is a pianist and composer. She is very shy and is constantly bossed around by Sharpay, but in the end, she learns to stand up for herself and not get bossed around by Sharpay. She also enjoys composing and is an admirer of Ryan.
Chris Warren Jr. as Zeke Baylor, a friend of Troy and Chad who plays for the basketball team. He also enjoys baking and is an admirer of Sharpay.
Ryne Sanborn as Jason Cross, Martha's love interest, one of the jocks on the scholastic decathlon team and plays for the basketball team. He also tends to ask mundane questions in Ms. Darbus' class. He is good friends with Troy, Chad, and Zeke.
Kaycee Stroh as Martha Cox, Jason's love interest and a peppy brainiac who enjoys hip-hop. She is good friends with Gabriella, Taylor, and Kelsi.
Alyson Reed as Ms. Darbus, the stern drama teacher at East High. She despises sports and cell phones but takes her job very seriously, though she can be overdramatic. She clashes frequently with Jack Bolton.
Socorro Herrera as Lisa Montez, Gabriella's mother. Her job has caused her to be transferred frequently from city to city, but she has been guaranteed that she and Gabriella will be able to stay in Albuquerque until Gabriella graduates from high school.
Leslie Wing Pomeroy as Lucille Bolton, Troy's mother. She serves food for Troy at his house but is more sufficient for Troy to love her.
Joyce Cohen as Ms. Falstaff, the librarian at East High. She keeps Chad quiet in the library and gets a book for Gabriella and Sharpay to read but takes her work very carefully.

text: Musical numbers[edit]

text: On its premiere, the film was a success with 7.7 million viewers.[17] However, the reviews were mixed. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 56%,[18] while Common Sense Media rated it at 4/5 stars.[19]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: Kevin Carr gave the film a score of 3/5 saying, "The filmmakers were just trying to tell a story. Sex, drugs and violence just didn't factor into that equation."[20] On the other hand, David Nusair gave the film a negative review with a score of 1.5/4 saying, "...it's difficult to imagine even the most die-hard fan of musicals finding anything here worth embracing."[21] Scott Weinberg also gave the film a negative review saying, "A schmaltzy little piece of obvious fluff that's directed in truly horrendous fashion and populated by cardboard characters who spit out simplistic platitudes and breathy pop tunes."[22]

text: Home media[edit]

text: The DVD was released on May 23, 2006, under the title, High School Musical: Encore Edition. It created a sales record when 1.2 million copies were sold in its first six days, making it the fastest-selling television film of all time.[23] It is, however, the second DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) on DVD to be certified Platinum in DVD sales, the first being The Cheetah Girls.

text: Bad Lip Reading version[edit]

text: On July 11, 2016, Disney XD released a half-hour overdubbed version of High School Musical to its YouTube channel in collaboration with Bad Lip Reading, a popular YouTube channel known for making parody dubs of various clips from films, TV shows, songs, sports, and political news stories that perfectly matches the lip movements of the targets. The story in this version is essentially similar to the original with new dialogue, the lead characters now being "Chorky" and "Lumpkinella", the latter secretly being a robot who escaped from a secure government facility.

text: Foreign adaptations[edit]

text: China[edit]

text: Disney High School Musical China (歌舞青春),[41] also called High School Musical China: College Dreams is a Chinese version of the American series, released in North America on DVD under the Disney World Cinema Brand.[42] Film Business Asia critic Derek Elley rated the adaptation three points out of ten and called the choreography by former Madonna dancer, Ruthy Inchaustegui, and songs "bland". However, Elley picked the three songs as "half-memorable": "the ballad 'Rainy Season' (梅雨季) [sung by] two lead[ing characters,] the glitzy 'Perfection' (完美) [by] the college rich-bitch[,] and [the] climatic 'I Can Fly' (我飛故我在), which doesn't quite succeed at being an anthemnal [sic], uplifting ballad."[41]

text: On stage performances[edit]

text: Concert tour[edit]

text: The "High School Musical: The Concert" tour started on November 29, 2006, kicking off in San Diego, California.

text: H. Jon Benjamin

text: Early life[edit]

text: Benjamin was born on May 23, 1966 to a Jewish family[3] in Worcester, Massachusetts, and graduated from Worcester Academy in 1984.[4]

tag: p

text: Career[edit]

text: Benjamin's comedy career began at age twenty-four in Boston where he was in a comedy duo with Sam Seder, then a member of Cross Comedy, a comedy team led by David Cross. For the first seven years of his career, Benjamin almost exclusively worked in groups rather than independently. Afterwards, his independent work remained more experimental, rejecting traditional styles of stand-up comedy.

text: Benjamin's live projects include the Midnight Pajama Jam, a show performed in New York City with Jon Glaser, and Tinkle, a show combining stand-up comedy and live music co-hosted by Todd Barry and David Cross. A Midnight Pajama Jam DVD is currently in production. He and Cross also appear together on the album Invite Them Up.

text: He was the guest on Space Ghost Coast to Coast in its eighty-first episode "King Dead" on December 17, 1999 where Zorak and Moltar kidnapped him. He has appeared in the television show Cheap Seats, on ESPN Classic, as "Gene Stapleton" and "Rabbi Marc Shalowitz". He co-starred in Todd Barry's short film Borrowing Saffron, and portrayed a talking can of vegetables with a shameful habit of autofellatio in the film Wet Hot American Summer. He also made short cameos in Not Another Teen Movie as the football trainer and on the FX Network comedy-drama Rescue Me as the pimp "F-bomb" in season two. He can also be seen in Turbocharge- the Unauthorized Story of the Cars, a comedy biopic about 80's rock band The Cars, playing the role of Cars' manager Elliot Roberts in his usual deadpan comedic delivery.[5]

text: Benjamin has done extensive voice work in animated TV shows. His credits include starring roles in several Soup2Nuts cartoon shows, such as Science Court, Home Movies, O'Grady, Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, and Assy McGee. He also co-created the show Freak Show with his friend David Cross. Benjamin also starred as the Devil and multiple other roles in Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil, which ran for one season on Adult Swim beginning September 9, 2007. Benjamin also plays a recurring character on the PBS Kids series WordGirl, and is the announcer for The Sam Seder Show and the recently revived The Majority Report. He also did the voice of "Shelly", Sam Seder's accountant, on Breakroom Live with Maron & Seder.

text: Benjamin has made guest appearances in several animated shows. He was in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes "Bus of the Undead" and "The Last One" as Mothmonsterman, in "Broodwich" as Mr. Sticks, in "Bible Fruit" as Mortimer Mango, and played the live-action role of Master Shake in "Last Last One Forever and Ever", credited as Capt. Turd Mahoy. He also made a cameo appearance as a government agent in the film Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters alongside frequent collaborator Jon Glaser. He has appeared in Family Guy as Carl, a movie trivia obsessed convenience store clerk who also portrayed Yoda in the Star Wars parody episode "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side".

text: Other notable recent appearances include The Venture Bros., in the episodes "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II," "I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills," and "The Better Man," in which he played Dr. Orpheus's master—who appears in the form of Cerberus, Catherine the Great's horse and, in "The Better Man", both Dr. Orpheus's ex-wife and a future Dean Venture, respectively. He also appeared in the Stella short "Bar", which can be found as an easter egg on the Season 1 DVD. Benjamin appeared on the Comedy Central sketch/variety show Important Things with Demetri Martin and had nearly as much screen time as Martin himself.

text: In 2009 Benjamin, along with David Cross, created and wrote for Paid Programming, a live action television pilot for Cartoon Network's late night programing block, Adult Swim. Paid Programming was not picked up for a full series; this was confirmed when Benjamin referred to it as an "abject failure".[6]

text: Benjamin was featured in a Super Bowl XLIII Bud Light commercial with Conan O'Brien[7] and was responsible for the McCain Girls[8] videos on YouTube.[9] He voices Sterling Archer, a secret agent in the FX series Archer that first aired January 14, 2010.[10] He has also appeared in several segments of the television show Human Giant and had a cameo in the American Dad! episode "License to Till" as a talking head of cabbage.

text: Benjamin starred in the Comedy Central series Jon Benjamin Has a Van, which he co-created with comedian Leo Allen.[11] The series debuted on May 14, 2011; a total of 10 episodes aired, the last on August 10, 2011.

text: Beginning in 2013, Benjamin's voice can be heard as the narrator of a series of TV commercials for Coke Zero, including some with tie-ins to ESPN's College Game Day program.[citation needed]

text: In 2014 Benjamin was named as the year's best male comedy performer for his work on Bob's Burgers and Archer by the Vulture TV Awards, a digital expansion of New York magazine.[12]

text: In 2015, despite not knowing how to play any instrument, Benjamin released his first jazz album, Well, I Should Have....[13] Benjamin "played" piano and was joined by Scott Kreitzer on sax, David Finck on bass, and Jonathan Preitz on drums.[14]

document_title: The View (U.S. TV series)

question_text: what are the ratings for the tv show the view

text: The View (U.S. TV series)

text: Format[edit]

text: The original opening credits for the show, featuring voice-over from Walters, explained the show's premise:

text: I've always wanted to do a show with women of different generations, backgrounds, and views: a working mother [Vieira]; a professional in her 30s [Jones]; a young woman just starting out [Matenopoulos]; and then somebody who's done almost everything and will say almost anything [Behar]. And in a perfect world, I'd get to join the group whenever I wanted...[3]

text: The show is co-hosted by a panel consisting four or five women of "different generations, different backgrounds, and different opinions."[4] The panel discuss issues that pertain to politics, social issues, as well as pop culture headlines, commonly referred to as "Hot Topics."[5][6] The discussions are often followed by an interview with a guest, often a celebrity promoting a project.[4][7] Every show is ended by one of the co-hosts, primarily the moderator, saying, "Have a great day, everyone, and take a little time to enjoy the view."[8][9]

text: The show periodically conducts audience giveaways.[10] The twelfth season of The View was heavily focused on the events related to the 2008 United States presidential election.[11] Season 13 introduced the addition of male guest co-hosts, the first season in the show's history to do so; among them were Joe Scarborough, Bryant Gumbel, Tom Bergeron, and D. L. Hughley.[12] Male personalities have since begun serving as guest co-hosts more frequently, specifically on Fridays, dubbed "Guy Day Friday."[13] In 2016, the show began focusing more on politics leading to the 2016 United States presidential election.[14]

text: Production[edit]

text: For seventeen years, the show filmed at 320 West 66th Street in ABC Television Studio 23 in New York City.[15] The original set for the first four seasons was a leftover set from a cancelled soap opera The City.[16][17] As a co-executive producer of the show, Walters plays a part in the casting of the co-hosts.[18] Longtime executive producer and co-creator Bill Geddie was the lone recurring male persona, sometimes shown as stepping out from behind the camera to interact with the hosts.[19] The co-hosts wear IFB earpieces through which backstage producers communicate with them.[20][21]

text: The View's eighteenth season brought significant on-air and behind-the-scenes changes in what was regarded as a "reinvention" of the show.[22] In August 2014, ABC announced that Geddie was departing the show and that he was to be replaced by Bill Wolff, who had served as vice president of primetime programming and as executive producer of The Rachel Maddow Show at MSNBC.[23] The View's new production team also included Brian Balthazar as co-executive producer, Ashley S. Gorman as director, and Kathleen Rajsp as senior supervising producer.[24]

text: Season 18 also saw a new home for The View, as the show relocated to the ABC Broadcast Center at 77 West 66th Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.[25][26] During the season premiere on September 15, 2014, the show unveiled its new studio featuring a coffee table-style desk with low-arm chairs, a large video wall, in-the-round audience seating, and an on-camera social media station.[27][28] Tweaks in subsequent weeks have included a glass desk and high stools at center stage,[29] as well as color adjustments in backgrounds and graphics.[30][31]

text: On October 30, 2014, ABC announced that responsibilities for production oversight on The View would shift from ABC's daytime entertainment division to Lincoln Square Productions, an ABC News subsidiary, where the show will be grouped under the division's non-fiction programming umbrella.[32][33] The move allowed the show to leverage ABC News' resources toward news-related segments.[34][35] In August 2015, it was reported that former Late Show with David Letterman producer Brian Teta would be joining the show as co-executive producer.[36] Later in the month, executive producer Bill Wolff was announced to be departing the show.[37] During season 19, the show introduced an aftershow entitled After the View, which was available through live streaming.[38] In February 2016, along with the show's twentieth season renewal, Candi Carter was promoted to executive producer after serving as interim showrunner for season 19, becoming the first African-American executive producer in the show's history.[39][40]

text: During the twentieth season premiere on September 6, 2016, the show debuted an updated set design with muted colors,[41][42] retooled opening titles with footage of the co-hosts in a loft-like space,[43] as well as a new theme song entitled "World's Gone Crazy," written by Diane Warren and performed by Mary J. Blige.[44] Hilary Estey McLoughlin was named senior executive producer in January 2017 after she was brought on as a consultant for season 19.[45] In September, the show promoted Teta to executive producer ahead of its 21st season premiere.[46]

text: Seasons 1–10[edit]

text: The show premiered with four co-hosts: Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Debbie Matenopoulos, and Barbara Walters. Joy Behar, who was originally announced to be occasionally filling in as the fourth co-host when Walters was unavailable, soon became a full-time co-host.[47] Following Matenopoulos's departure in December 1998, Lisa Ling was brought on as a new co-host in 1999.[48][49] Ling departed the show in 2002 to host National Geographic Explorer.[50] Former Survivor: The Australian Outback castaway Elisabeth Hasselbeck replaced Ling beginning November 24, 2003 after Hasselbeck, Rachel Campos-Duffy, and Erin Hershey Presley each received a week-long on-air tryout.[51][52]

text: On April 6, 2006, Vieira announced that she was leaving the show to become co-host of the long-running NBC News program Today, replacing Katie Couric.[53] Her final episode aired on June 9.[54] On June 27, 2006, Jones announced her departure from the show on air, stating that she would remain on the show through July.[55] Despite this, Walters announced the next day that Jones would no longer appear on the show with the exception of previously recorded segments, publicly claiming feeling "betrayed" by Jones for unexpectedly making the announcement two days ahead of schedule.[56] In an interview with People, Jones claimed the decision to leave was not hers and that in April, producers told her that her contract would not be renewed.[57] Walters later stated that ABC executives had decided not to renew Jones' contract due to diminished approval for Jones through their market research.[58]

text: At the 33rd Daytime Emmy Awards on April 28, 2006, it was announced that former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell would be joining the show for its tenth season.[59] O'Donnell made her debut as the new co-host and moderator of the show on September 5.[60] On April 25, 2007, O'Donnell announced she would be leaving the show when her contract expires due to the network not being able to come to terms on a new contract.[61] On May 25, ABC announced that O'Donnell had asked to be let out of her contract nearly a month before its expiration and that she had been granted permission to depart immediately.[62]

text: Seasons 11–18[edit]

text: Wikinews has related news: Whoopi Goldberg to take Rosie O'Donnell's spot on 'The View'

text: On August 1, 2007, Barbara Walters announced that Whoopi Goldberg would be replacing O'Donnell as moderator for season 11.[63][64][65] Sherri Shepherd appeared as a permanent co-host beginning September 10, 2007, marking the first time in the show's history that it featured two African-American co-hosts.[66][67] Rotating guest co-hosts filled in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck while she was on maternity leave from October 2007 to January 2008 and again from August to October 2009.[68][69] On August 30, 2009, Goldberg, Joy Behar, Shepherd, Hasselbeck, and Walters won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host.[70][71] Following the show on May 10, 2010, Barbara Walters took a hiatus from the show for heart surgery.[72] The premiere of season 14 marked Walters's return.[73] On March 7, 2013, it was announced that Behar would be leaving the show at the end of season 16.[74][75][76] The next day, reports surfaced that Hasselbeck was to leave the show at the end of the season due to market research showing that both her and Behar's views were too polarizing to viewers,[77][78] which Walters denied.[79] Despite this, Hasselbeck announced on the July 10 episode that she was leaving The View to join Fox News and that it was her last day on the show.[80] Behar's final show, a This is Your Life-style tribute to her, aired on August 9.[81][82]

text: On July 15, 2013, Walters announced that Jenny McCarthy would become a permanent co-host.[83][84] McCarthy made her debut as co-host on September 9 on the premiere episode of season 17.[85] On May 13, Walters confirmed on air that she would be retiring as a co-host of the show and from ABC News in May 2014, but would continue as an executive producer of the series for as long as it airs.[86][87][88][89] Walters' final episode aired on May 16, 2014, with all former co-hosts and several guests returning for a special broadcast.[90] On June 26, it was confirmed that Shepherd and McCarthy would not be returning to the show following the conclusion of season 17, leaving Goldberg the sole remaining panelist to return for season 18.[91]

text: Rosie O'Donnell's return to the show as a permanent co-host was announced on July 10, 2014.[92] Shortly after, the show conducted a "chemistry testing" of various prospective hosts to join Goldberg and O'Donnell.[24] On September 3, the series announced that Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace would join the panel as co-hosts for its eighteenth season.[93] Both Perez, an actress and choreographer, and Wallace, an MSNBC political analyst and former Bush White House communications chief, previously made guest appearances on The View during season 17.[94] On February 6, 2015, representatives for O'Donnell confirmed that she would once again exit the panel, citing her reasons as a "personal decision." Her final appearance aired on February 12.[95] On June 10, recurring guest panelist Raven-Symoné joined the series as a permanent co-host.[96] On July 7, it was announced that Perez would exit the series following the completion of its eighteenth season in order to fully pursue acting.[97] On July 15, it was announced that Wallace was being let go at the conclusion of season 18.[98]

text: Seasons 19–present[edit]

text: On July 8, 2015, it was confirmed that frequent guest co-host Michelle Collins would join the series as a permanent co-host for the season 19.[99] On August 25, it was announced that former co-host Joy Behar was going to be returning as a permanent co-host, while actress Candace Cameron Bure and Good Morning America Weekend anchor Paula Faris would be joining the panel for season 19.[100] It marked the first time in the series' history that it had six permanent co-hosts as well as the first time The View had a full panel of at least five co-hosts in over two years.[101] In addition, Padma Lakshmi, Stacy London, Ana Navarro, Molly Sims, and Shepherd joined the show as contributors.[102] On June 16, 2016, it was officially announced that Collins had been let go, effective immediately.[103]

text: On July 11, it was reported that Goldberg and Behar would remain on the panel through its twentieth season.[104] On August 3, Faris, Bure, and Raven-Symoné were reported to be returning for season 20 along with the addition of Sara Haines as a co-host.[105] Despite previously announced as frequent contributors, ABC News Senior Legal Correspondent Sunny Hostin and former Fox News contributor Jedediah Bila also joined the show as permanent co-hosts.[106][107] On October 27, Raven-Symoné stated on air that she would be exiting the show at the end of the year to focus on the That's So Raven spin-off series Raven's Home.[108][109] On December 8, Bure announced that she was leaving the program, specifying that the commute between coasts while juggling her other television obligations was difficult on her and her family.[110][111][112] Her last episode as a co-host aired the following day.[113]

text: Despite initially stating that she was considering leaving the show after season 20, Goldberg was reported to be staying on as moderator for season 21.[107][114] Behar, Faris, Haines, Bila, and Hostin all returned as co-hosts.[46] On September 18, 2017, Bila announced on air that she was exiting the show effective immediately.[115][116]

text: Notable episodes[edit]

text: On July 29, 2010, President Barack Obama appeared as a guest on the show, which also saw the return of Barbara Walters before she resumed her hiatus.[117] On September 23, the show aired its 3000th episode and celebrated the show's history.[118] On February 22, 2012, former co-host Star Jones came on the show as a guest and discussed her contentious exit from the show. It was her first appearance since her departure in 2006.[119] On February 7, 2014, Rosie O'Donnell returned to the show as a guest for the first time since she quit the show in 2007.[120] On May 15, all eleven co-hosts of the show's history appeared to celebrate Walters' retirement.[121][122] On March 27, 2015, the show celebrated its 4000th episode. Former co-hosts Walters and Joy Behar returned to the show for the celebration.[123]

text: On September 5, 2016, prior to the premiere of season 20, ABC aired a documentary entitled The View: 20 Years in the Making, which featured notable moments from the show and several personalities involved in the show's history, hosted by Behar.[124] On November 8, Behar, Jedediah Bila, Candace Cameron Bure, Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin hosted a primetime Election Night special of the show, which aired on Lifetime.[125] On November 11, a "Flashback Friday" episode was aired along with a Veteran's Day tribute, featuring the return of original co-hosts Jones, Meredith Vieira, and Debbie Matenopoulos, alongside Behar. Walters was unavailable to attend the reunion.[126] On August 11, 2017, ABC re-aired the show's first episode, which originally aired on the same date 20 years prior.[127]

text: O'Donnell/Hasselbeck argument[edit]

text: Rosie O'Donnell consistently brought up recent news about the war in Iraq and criticized the US media for its lack of coverage on the Bush administration's actions and policies. On May 17, 2007, O'Donnell rhetorically asked, "655,000 Iraqi civilians dead. Who are the terrorists? If you were in Iraq and another country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us?"[128] On May 23, 2007, a heated discussion ensued between O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck due to what O'Donnell perceived as a lack of willingness of Hasselbeck to defend O'Donnell's right to disagree with the invasion of Iraq and the resulting military occupation.[129] O'Donnell also stated that the media would portray her as "big, fat, lesbian, loud Rosie attacking innocent, pure, Christian Elisabeth" and that Republican pundits were mischaracterizing her statements. Hasselbeck responded by telling O'Donnell to "defend her own insinuations."[130] O'Donnell did not return after this episode, later stating that she knew that it was time to leave the show once she saw the split screen image of her and Hasselbeck on either side. O'Donnell felt that the producers of the show were setting her up to be confrontational with Hasselbeck.[131]

text: Doctor's stethoscope controversy[edit]

text: On the September 14, 2015, episode of The View, Michelle Collins and Joy Behar poked fun at Miss America 2016 contestant Kelley Johnson's monologue about her occupation as a registered nurse, during which Johnson had on nursing scrubs and a stethoscope. Collins called Johnson's monologue "hilarious" and that "she was reading her emails out loud," while Behar questioned why Johnson had "a doctor's stethoscope on." The controversy resulted in an immediate social media backlash from the nursing profession, including the hashtag #NursesUnite.[132][133] Two days later, Collins and Behar addressed the controversy on the show and subsequently apologized, although some critics questioned the sincerity of the apologies.[134][135] In addition, Johnson & Johnson and Eggland's Best pulled their sponsorships from The View,[136] and were later followed by McCormick & Company, Snuggle, and Party City.[137]

text: Walt Disney World broadcast[edit]

text: In March 2017, the show had its first remote broadcasts from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, which was filmed in front of the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom.[138] The episodes featured pre-recorded segments with all six co-hosts exploring Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios.[139] James Cameron came on as a guest on the March 9 episode, giving a preview of Pandora – The World of Avatar.[140] Other guests included John Stamos, Ariel Winter, Sherri Shepherd, Eric Stonestreet, Audra McDonald, Mandy Moore, Tom Bergeron, and chefs Masaharu Morimoto and Art Smith, with musical performances by Andy Grammer and Train.[141][142]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: A New York Times review, published ten days after the show premiered, describes what critic Caryn James thought was distinctive about the show:

text: The idea of women talking to one another on daytime television is not exactly radical. The idea that those women should be smart and accomplished is still odd enough to make The View seem wildly different. It actively defies the bubbleheads-'R'-us approach to women's talk shows.[47]

text: In 2002, Virginia Heffernan of Slate complimented the chemistry of the panel following Lisa Ling's departure and wrote that the women "have eased completely into the stock sensibility of middle-aged talk shows, embracing the imperatives that one be healthy, careful, temperate, charitable, and moderately cutesy while at the same time skeptical, ribald, and world-weary."[49]

text: During her first run on the show, Rosie O'Donnell was regarded as outspoken,[143][144] for which she was criticized as well as for not acting as a moderator often times during discussions, in which she would interject her–often liberal–viewpoints.[145] Due to this, O'Donnell faced backlash from conservative media outlets.[146] However, as a big-name talent, she was credited for keeping the show's "buzz factor" up.[147][148]

text: The appointment of Jenny McCarthy as a co-host attracted backlash, largely due to her anti-vaccination views.[149][150][151] David Freeman, senior science editor for The Huffington Post, wrote about the concerns of Bill Nye, who stated: "I believe Ms. McCarthy's views will be discredited."[152] Alex Pareene of Salon criticized the decision, writing: "Anti-vaccine conspiracist and View co-host Jenny McCarthy isn't just quirky—she spreads lies that hurt people."[153] Writing for The Guardian, Jill Filipovic remarked, "Other than what her anti-vax views imply, it's unclear whether she's intellectually checked-in or not. And that's part of the problem: outside of anti-vaccine activism, McCarthy has no record of political activism or even serious engagement with the world."[154]

text: Following Barbara Walters' retirement, the show has been criticized for its constantly changing lineup of co-hosts, namely the one-season stints of McCarthy, O'Donnell, Rosie Perez, Nicolle Wallace, and Michelle Collins, respectively.[155][156][157] In July 2015, Daniel D'Addario of Time wrote that it was time for ABC to end The View, citing the show's inability to maintain a consistent panel as a factor.[158] Television personality Julie Chen stated in 2016: "I mean, I should know all of the names of the hosts and I don’t ‘cause it changes so often."[159][160]

text: In March 2017, Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave the show acclaim, praising it as "doing for daytime television what the Daily Show has done for primetime in that it offers viewers a show that deals in genuine opinion and not mere fluff."[161] In April, the New York Post attributed the show's recent resurgence in viewership to its political discussions.[162] In August, David Hinckey of HuffPost opined that the show has been successful in consistently implementing its original premise and that in regards to its co-hosts, it has "sought to maintain a balance in areas like ethnicity and ideology. While most of the panelists over the years have tilted a bit to the left, there has always been a voice from the right that’s unafraid to speak up."[163]

text: U.S. television ratings[edit]

text: During the November 2008 sweeps during season 12, the show's post-election day telecast became the most-watched episode in the show's history in total viewers at 6.2 million. It was surpassed on July 29, 2010, during which former President Barack Obama first appeared as a guest on The View, which garnered a total of 6.6 million viewers.[164] In 2013, the show was reported to be averaging 3.1 million daily viewers, which outpaced rival talk show The Talk.[165][166]

text: In 2014, the May 16 farewell to Barbara Walters garnered 5.2 million total viewers, ranking as the show's fourth most-watched broadcast.[167] Season 18, which debuted on September 15, 2014, marked the return of Rosie O'Donnell and drew 3.902 million viewers, which was the show's second largest season premiere audience to date.[168][169]

text: In January 2015, it was reported that the show's viewership was down nine percent among its target demographic of women 25–54.[170] In August, it was reported that season 20 of the series averaged 2.816 million total viewers per episode, marking its most watched season in three years while also becoming the only broadcast daytime show to grow its overall audience from the previous season.[171]
