Barbara Walters Bans "Mean" Kathy Griffin From 'The View' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 02-02-2008, 11:52 AM

The producer of "The View," Bill Geddie, called Kathy Griffin to tell her she wouldn't be allowed to appear on the talk show Tuesday, which had been scheduled in conjunction with her final show in New York, which had sold out.

She wasn't a happy camper about it, to say the least. Talking to New York Post's Page Six, Griffin said, "I was supposed to be on The View (today). But then I get a call from (producer) Bill Geddie, and he says, 'You were too mean to Barbara on your last special, so you can't come on.' Can you believe it? I've been banned before but never re-banned!"

After Rosie O'Donnell had been kicked off the show, Griffin had replaced her, but was also let go, with speculation her making fun of Walters was the reason behind it.

I guess Barbara likes to hand it out, but doesn't like to take it. Oh well, that's show biz.

Another reason I don't like Barbara Walters. If she wasn't on "The View" it would be a semi-watchable show (for me).

She cracked jokes about Barbara Walters on her show.

I agree. I always enjoy it more on the days when she's not there.

Not quite sure what the exact jokes were, but Walters found them to be insulting.

Perhaps Kathy Griffin was bitter that she didn't get the View job. Anyway, I don't think it was that big of a deal for her to be banned.

Kathy has been making jokes about The View for years. Unless she went way over the top this time, I'm not sure what Barbara's issue is.

Scoobiedoo30 · 02-02-2008, 03:10 PM

I think that is Rude of Kathy making Joke's about The View in the first place.

"The View" has NEVER been a watchable show for me in the first place.

To be honest, I have never seen a full episode of "The View." However, I may have watched it if Barbara Walters wasn't there. I can't stand the woman.

And I've seen Kathy Griffin's stand up act on her show (My Life on the D-List) and she was talking about one of her appearances on "The View." This was back when Star Jones was still there. I can't remember the full story, but Barbara Walters came off as a spoiled bitch! That's why I was surprised when I heard that Kathy was coming back to "The View" at all. I wonder if it was something more recent that upset Baby Walters.

This makes me wonder how she felt about Gilda Radner doing an impression of her on Saturday Night Live, back in the 1970s.
