ABC announced Monday that Barbara Walters’s final day co-hosting The View will be Friday, May 16. That same night, ABC will air a two-hour special at 9:00 p.m. ET highlighting her life and career. Walters announced last May that the 2013-2014 season would be her last on the daytime talk show she created in 1997.
“In this business there are legends, there are icons, and then there is Barbara Walters,” said Robert A. Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive of The Walt Disney Company in a statement. “She’s a dear friend and colleague as well as someone I deeply admire, and it’s impossible to fully convey her impact and influence on television. She broke barriers, defied convention, made history and set the standard for journalistic excellence for more than 50 years. It’s hard to imagine television without her.”

No doubt. Some of her fawning "interviews" with libs were just pathetic. Painful to watch. Amazing she never had a shred of embarrassment when doing it. Says a lot.
LOL
Too bad she didn’t quit when she was still relevant.
Heck I haven’t been able to stomach more than 10 seconds of her for 25 years.
Over 50 years of lying both to the viewer and prone to get ahead.
She is now going to devote herself full time to her local coven.
I remember when she replaced J. Fred Muggs on the Today show. That was a real risk for the show.
It will probably have the worst ratings ever.
Time to buy a new mattress!
How many times is she going to retire?
Just go away, Babawawa.
I remember when she interviewed Paul Newman.
She brought up the subject of Newman's (recently deceased) son.
Newman shot her a look that could kill.
"I thought we agreed to not talk about that!"
"Sowwy."
“This is Baba WaWa from the Free Meow Iwand Nuqueer Fawciwity and the Pwesident is Weewee Warge! “

I thought she retired back in the 1990’s sometime. Of well.

She’s still alive? I think the last time I saw this catalyst for entropy was 20 years ago.
And never told the truth, not one time.
