Brian Teta: Last News

Whoopi Goldberg has branded ‘American Idol’ the start of society’s “downfall”. The ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ actress, 67, made the declaration while talking to her ‘The View’ co-hosts about a recent Netflix documentary on the final days of Anna Nicole Smith’s life and came to the conclusion “people like to be judgy”. She said about the trend being evident in reality TV: “You have ‘Basketball Wives,’ you have the ‘Housewives’ of whatever, all the Bravo shows, giving you the impression that you’re doing something wrong because you’re living your life.

Whoopi Goldberg is set to join The Weekend View for the first time since the spinoff premiered.

The View is expanding to weekends with the new streaming series, The Weekend View, on ABC News Live.

Meghan McCain can’t seem to quit talking about The View and is once again bringing up her former place of work, deeming it “the most dramatic show on the planet.”

There are some changes this week at The View on ABC.

“The View” co-host, 82, revealed that her birth name — Josephine Victoria “Joy” Behar — is an homage to her Italian grandmother, who once threatened to kill herself and her own children.Behar, a self-proclaimed lasagna queen, dropped the interesting family tidbit on Wednesday’s episode of the show’s “Behind the Table” podcast, telling “View” producer Brian Teta that her name stems from her “wacky” paternal grandma who lived in Turin, Italy. “I was born Josephine, named after my father’s mother, who was a little wacky, I understand,” Behar said on the podcast. “My grandfather decided to come to Brooklyn to visit his brother who was here.”The comedian shared that her grandmother made the disturbing threat after he stayed in the U.S.

No costumes, but The View didn’t ignore Halloween this year, opening the show with a pre-taped dream sketch in which each of the hosts, bored to tears at a morning staff meeting as producer Brian Teta drones on and on about his podcast, dozes off and has a Trump-inspired nightmare.

On today’s episode of ABC’s The View, a promo for next week’s episodes included a scary-sounding mention that “Boo are you wearing is back!,” which almost seemed to suggest that the show’s whole Halloween-is-canceled announcement earlier this month was more trick than treat.

With the 2024 presidential election less than a month away, the women of The View have little else on their minds.

Whoopi Goldberg questioned The View producer Brian Teta as to why they must continue reading Donald Trump’s statement about the 2020 election.

“The View” co-hosts and show staff were forced to flee their studio before Wednesday morning’s show after a grease fire broke out at “The Tamron Hall Show,” which shoots in the studio next door.No one was injured in the blaze, and “The View” (11 a.m./Ch. 7) carried on as usual once the dust (and smoke) settled.“Tamron Hall,” meanwhile, sent its audience home and aired a repeat in its 10 a.m.

Brian Teta, the executive producer of The View, has signed a new contract for the show that will keep him at the often buzzy daytime talker for the next four years.

“Ted Lasso” stars Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt are clapping back at Joy Behar’s claim that she was asked to guest star on the Apple TV+ show.“The View” co-host, 81, alleged on Wednesday that she was invited to play the role of Sudeikis’ mom on the comedy.The “Horrible Bosses” star, 48, and Hunt, 51, appeared with cast members Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Phil Dunster, Cristo Fernandez, Kola Bokinni, James Lance and Billy Harris during a a panel discussion at the PEOPLE X IHG Conversation in Los Angeles Thursday.The men were surprised at Behar’s claim, with Sudekis joking: “I, no. Joy Behar from ‘The View?’” when asked if the news that she was set to appear in the third season was valid.“She’s welcome to sit at the table,” he added.“Respectfully, it would be news to us.

Joy Behar has revealed that she almost appeared in Ted Lasso.

Joy Behar may be able to dish on “Hot Topics” — but she can’t take the hot weather. Behar, 81, revealed Wednesday that she didn’t want the role of Jason Sudeikis’ mom on the hit Apple TV+ show “Ted Lasso” due to the fact that the weather in London was too warm for her. “You were contacted about the possibility to be on my favorite show of all time,” Brian Teta, producer of “The View,” said on the show’s “Behind the Table” podcast.However, he added that Behar “quickly dismissed” the role.

81-year-old Joy Behar said Wednesday on the talk show’s Behind the Table podcast that she rejected the opportunity to play Ted Lasso‘s mom in season 3.

With Brooke Shields.”“It was not something I’d ever do again.” At that time, she famously had several tiffs with her fellow co-stars, including a 2007 argument with conservative commentator Elisabeth Hasselbeck, 46.

We are all Taylor Swift fans and, to be honest, if Donald Trump looks like he’s going to win, she’s just going to need to get in the race and defeat him once and for all because she’s probably the only person who can,” Farah Griffin said while laughing.Teta eagerly diverted the conversation back toward the celebrity couple: “There you go, there you go,” he hurriedly said.In the same episode, Farah Griffin said she could explain “in one paragraph any of the various cases” against Trump, pointing to his accusations of wrongdoing during his time as commander-in-chief.The passing jab at Trump is just one of many Farah Griffin has fired at her former boss since joining the daytime panel in July 2022.“I’ll never vote for Trump again, I’ve been clear on that,” she vowed in April.
