I've watched the View since I was in pampers til now. Rosie was one of my favorite co-host. Her brash delivery, humor, and common sense thinking was what the show needed. Love you Rosie.
No matter what people thought of her, the year Rosie was on The View was it's one and only good year. People loved her, people hated her, but everyone was talking about the show. It got on news and pundit programs all the time, they discussed interesting topics and the audience grew out of its intended target to include other demographics. Rosie actually cared about how the show was presented; now it's just lazy and the producers try and "make sparks" but done get how to get the interest back.
From day 1 you can see the look of sheer disgust and even hate on Elizabeth's face! I'm not fan of Rosie's, but Elizabeth also had jealousy written all over her!!!!
Rosie's producer from her first daytime show was always right behind Bill. She spilled alot of tea on Rosie's podcast a few years back about that entire season. Wish that old podcast was on YT.
