Kathy Griffin Addresses Rumor She’ll Be Joining ‘The View’ On ‘Watch What Happens: Live’ (VIDEO)

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Kathy Griffin stopped by the “Watch What Happens: Live” clubhouse to address those rumors that she’s set to replace Joy Behar on “The View.” Behar announced earlier this month that she’s leaving the daytime talk show at the end of the season. Since then, speculation has run rampant about who will replace her.

Griffin didn’t do herself any favors in that department by doing an impression of Barbara Walters on “WWHL.” She imagined Walters waiting in the car while Griffin was on the show. “‘I really wish she would leave,” Griffin said as Walters. “She’s been sitting here with the table making comments that are inappropriate and if she’s part of the table, I’m going to have to wait in the car.”

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Barbara Walters insisted on Monday that Elisabeth Hasselbeck will not be leaving “The View,” following earlier reports that the co-host was departing the show.

A number of outlets reported on Friday that Hasselbeck’s contract would not be renewed. The reason, according to the reports, was that Hasselbeck’s conservative views were clashing with the audience. The rumors emerged on Friday, one day after Joy Behar announced that she was leaving the show after sixteen years. On Monday, Walters addressed the story, saying:

I like her personally and she’s just a wonderful person. But beyond that we value and appreciate her point of view. It’s important to us because Elisabeth gives this show perspective and balance. We have no plans for Elisabeth to leave this show. Having said that to all of you, Bill and I have always said that when one of you makes the choice to leave, that’s your choice and we will support your decision. But right now, the only person who cannot leave the show is me.
