NEW YORK (AP) - ''The View'' is getting a visit from a prominent alum. No, not THAT one. Meredith Vieira, the show's moderator before being briefly replaced by Rosie O'Donnell - who was replaced by Whoopi Goldberg - is returning to the daytime chat show Oct. 8. It will be her first guest appearance since leaving the ABC show.
Vieira, 53, will talk about her experiences as co-host of NBC's ''Today'' show, and is hawking a new ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'' DVD game that will be released next month. She is host of the game show.
She spent nine seasons as moderator of the Barbara Walters-invented ABC talk show before leaving in June 2006.
During that time, she dressed as a hot dog and dominatrix, sang ''Take Me Out to the Ball Game'' while tap dancing and gave Wesley Snipes a lap dance.
