Elisabeth Hasselbeck Says Farewell To THE VIEW On Her Final Episode – Watch the Segment!
Courtesy/ABC
Today was the final episode and appearance of a ten year run as co-host on ABC’s The View for Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
On Tuesday it was announced that Hasselbeck was leaving for a new job on the early morning show Fox & Friends. For the final time, Elisabeth sat at The View table with Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, where she eloquently, and at times teary-eyed, delivered her farewell speech to each of her co-hosts, and The View’s executive producer, Bill Geddie.
Hasselbeck’s departure ends years of heated political debates between she and Behar and Goldberg, since her Republican viewpoints were a counterpoint to the other ladies on the panel, more often than not.
After the jump watch Hasselbeck addressing the cameras and the ladies of The View as she moves on with her career! Then let us know if you are glad Elisabeth is exiting the show? Did you think, like her or not, that her goodbye was well said? Share your thoughts!
Elisabeth’s speech was okay, heartfelt depending whom she was talking about. Wish her well but did not like her approach and temper with co-hosts. I will not follow her to the fox program.
And does she care?
Fox is a tabloid channel, yeah who cares
GOD I AM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY BE RID OF ELIZABETH! HER BIG MOUTH AND HER RACIST REMARKS AND SO CLOSED MINDED! NOW THE TALK NEEDS TO CAN THAT JULIE AND THAT IDIOT SHERYL.
I NEVER liked Elizthabeth I stopped watching because of her. But I really am so sorry to see Joy leave. I LOVE JOY B <3
I wish Elizabeth well. I don’t watch The View much but from what I’ve seen when I watch she”s not the bitch the so called tolerant liberals make her out to be. I respect anyone who stands up for what they believe in even if it doesn’t seem popular or if they’re hated for it. The haters think by insulting Elizabeth they’re hurting her but they’re probably making her stronger.
Well said ron and ITA!
Nicely said Ron, I don’t watch the View either but I know how the left would Attack Elizabeth all the time, they are haters because she had a different opinion.
‘haters” is bandied about plenty.
dignity is a valuable trait.
A human characteristic we should all aspire.
With her gone, maybe I’ll start watching again. Although, I have gotten along very nicely without the show for all these years.
me too
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
I don’t hate Hasselbeck for her beliefs, I hate her for her embrace of ignorance and intolerance over education and acceptance.
Gosh almighty get a life she is not what is bringing down this country so I guess if everyone does not believe your way of thinking we are homophobics racist you name it does she speak for me no I do it myself get off her back the hackling hens continue! She is not what I would want for the conservative voice just because you have a difference of opinion does not make you the bad guy! I guess if everyone was standing on the cliff and saying jump and you did not we are the bad guys. I have a personal relationship with my God and that is between me and him I judge no one and he did not!
People don‘t get much more ignorant or intolerant than Joy Behar. Why is Joy‘s narrow=minded behaviour called “tolerance“ and acceptance, when if you don‘t agree with her opinion, it is called “intolerance“ and “ignorance? People can‘t have it both ways. You can only call Joy tolerant and accepting if you happen to share her opinions on the filth that she tolerates and accepts. It‘s a double edged sword, and a hypocritical one at that.
Is behar still on whatever low rated cable news channel her show was on? Dumb move by the view bec elisabeth was that show. And she really had to put up w/ being the only conservative against a panel of all democrats. Ratings of the view would probably plummet w/ babs retiring and elisabeth moving to highest rated cable news channel fox. This is a dumb move by the view to let elisabeth leave and it’ll probably launch the era of the talk and new show the real. Rumors have elisabeth being replaced by jenny mccarthy of all people! The talk and the real have much more racial diversity compared to the view. The real is obviously going to tackle a lot of issues for women of color bec its panel has African americans and a hispanic american and an Asian american for its hosts. While the talk recently discussed all the racism directed at African americans and Asian americans from cbs summer reality tv show. It’s great that julie chen is speaking abt racism towards Asian americans w/c seldom is discussed by the tolerant media bec Asian american issues are never a priority. It’s too bad though that julie chen is the only Asian american on all of cbs day shows. The view would probably decline w/o elisabeth. It’s probably the era of the real and the talk.
Good riddance.
Yes and did you judge Alec Baldwin for his rant?
Nicely said K/KAY, I agree
Meh……I really don’t care. She can join the rest of the “twisted wisdom” teabaggers at Fox.
Like nails on a chalkboard….so are the days of Fox news.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck was a coffin nail for the view..
I hope she runs, not walks, to the exit door ..
I think that whether or not the lefties want to admit it or not, having Elizabeth there brought balance to the show. The rest of the cast were nothing but a bunch of old biddie bullies who were just as intolerant and hateful as those on this board claimed Elizabeth was.
I agree with you Jeff, Elizabeth was not the hateful one on the view, the others were, She did bring balance to the show but most lefties can’t deal with hearing what the other side has to say and feel, so instead of having a adult conversation they attack you because they THINK they are right instead of trying to understand what the other side is saying, and listening to both sides of the issue and respecting each other instead of going after you like a bully in a school playground.
Totally agree Jeff!! Joy Behar is nothing but a vicious, disgusting bully. If you disagree with her in any way, she attacks. She is open to no other viewpoint. Joy should stop worrying so much about the “epidemic“ of teen bullying and take a good long hard look in the mirror and her own behaviour. Joy is the hateful, narrow-minded bigot, not Elisabeth!
I am sooooooooo happy for Elizabeth!!! She will do great and it is the best move for her!!!
I agree!
About time.
All things, good or bad, come to an end. Buh-bye.
ugghhh….
can’t you just feel the intelligence quotient rising….
shiver me timbers….
hang in their Whooppie…. Love to Joy.
She was a first time reality star who was in the right place at the right time…
Ms. Babblehead.. with no mind.
Class, beauty and intelligence scares people. Happy for Elizabeth she is better than the View!
I agree, She is better then the view.
the view has run its course. Abc has ruined there daytime line up. cbs has the best balance something for everyone.
HIGH 5 Rosie.
i totally disagree with Elisabeth political point of view yet i still liked her , i may watch her on her new fox show, and wish her nothing but the best.
I really like Elisabeth and I’ll miss her on The View. I’ve actually been a fan of her since way back when she was on Survivor. That was an emotional goodbye. As a newlywed in my early 30s who’s about to become a mom, I appreciated seeing a panelist close in age and family situation to myself. I’m glad her voice was allowed to be heard on the show and could relate to her viewpoints. While I didn’t always agree with everything, I admire her for sticking to her beliefs and having the courage to publicly do that. There were some very entertaining debates. Plus, she’s very beautiful and I admire (and envy!) how she’s been able to stay in such terrific shape, especially after having kids and working full time. I love her wardrobe and sense of style! I wish Elisabeth the very best as she moves on to Fox News.
I definitely have respect for Elizabeth in that she always stood up for what she believed. Wish her well. But I will not miss her.
Who the hell cares???
Good riddance to bad rubbish!!
Good riddance indeed! I’m sure Fox can revel in her unworldly, narrow point of view. The beauty is she WAS fired — nine seasons too late if you ask me — but, like Star Jones (who beautifully thumbed her nose at the offer) was offered to work until the end of her contract cycle and put her own p.r. spin on her “departure.” I guess between her firing and the end of her contract, Fox picked up her carcas. I especially won’t miss that distressed look she got on her pinched face when she found something disagreeable or offensive. Maybe now, I can truly take time to enjoy The View!
I wish Elizabeth luck in her new venture and hope that she can continue her career with class and dignity that she has shown so far….
I must admit that I will not miss Elisabeth on The View. I found her to be very rude, always looking for attention. I stopped watching the show for a few years because of her attitude. Now ,if you could just keep Sherry from also interuputing everyone, I am sure that I will enjoy the show. I will be Joy very, very much.
I see there are WAY TOO MANY right wing conservative types on this site. You wouldn’t think soaps would attract that particular crowd!! BTW I’m glad I live in Canada. Your country is in danger of being ripped apart by the constant battle of liberals vs. right-wing conservatives. Can’t y’all just get along:)
BTW, let the hate responses begin LOL
Never have liked any of the ladies on The View, but Hasselbeck was the LEAST offensive to me. I’ll bet she’s glad to get the heck outta there.
I am glad she is leaving. Too often, she was forced to compromise her beliefs for the sake of her job. Often times, it was almost like she was apologiziing for being pro-marriage, pro-family, and pro-life. I don‘t support slaughtering children either. She should have a place where her belief in truth is respected. I hope in her new forum she can speak candidly about her convictions. She will no longer have to be bullied and belittled by Joy and arrogantly dismissed by Barbara. I wish her all the best in her new job!
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
