In its 10 years on the air, "The View" has never taken home the Emmy for outstanding hosts. Nine nominations, nine losses. But with Rosie O'Donnell along for the ride this year, there is the thought that she, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar and Barbara Walters could finally take home Emmy gold. So Rosie, who has about a month left on the show before she departs, says this morning that one of her kids has a "school thing" and so she will not be attending then she says: "If this show does win best host, the credit goes to Barbara Walters for hiring me."
Joy Behar, recognizing a slight when she hears one says: "What? We couldn't have won before you?"
Walters, trying to be diplomatic, said: "This has been an interesting year."
Then Joy shares her thoughts on why they have never won best host: "There's always one of us to hate." So if they win this year, maybe it's not because of Rosie but "maybe they just hated someone previous to us."
Hmmmmmmm. I know she doesn't mean Meredith Viera, who has a roomful of Emmys of her own for other shows, or Debbie Matenapolis who was more annoying on the show than hate-inducing, or Lisa Ling who was a nice addition the three years she was there. So, Joy must be referring to...
STAR JONES REYNOLDS!
Sheesh..I oughta be a detective.
