Barbara Walters DEAD

[Marilyn]

Thank you for giving us The View and the subsequent 25 years of mess

And all the other achievements were pretty significant too

ARE YOU THE BITCH?

Oh yeah, she was an icon.

 

[straightorbroken]

Although she isn't half being upstaged in that screengrab - who is the blinking lady?

 

[VoR]

An icon and a true monster . Dying at New Year's seems oddly fitting too - I hope Cheri Oteri resurrects her iconic impersonation to say farewell FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE

 

[Ellie]

apart from just being around for a long time. She was a bloody awful interviewer.

Gilda Radner was the better impression though.

 

[KindaCool]

Wtf no way! I had no idea she was 93!

RIP babs.

Just on a Kathy Griffin adjacent point: fuck these two rancid little snakes.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Dropping like FLIES now!

[Jark]

a full gag she was a horribly insensitive trashy tabloid interviewer but sometimes that cooked up HOT MOMENTS

[Mats]

this is what I came here to see. HA!

 

[jivafox]

"I PWEFER... ASTWOGLIDE"

R.I.P. Queen

This was the first thing that popped into my head too

 

[VoR]

God it never even aired in this country but in the 00s The View was EVENT TELEVISION.



”Sadly, Star made another choice…”

 

[POP!]

"Elizabeth, CALM DOWN DEAR."

*Elizabeth goes mental on hot mic*

"WHAT THE FUCK THIS WOMAN IS DRIVING ME NUTS! WRITE ABOUT THAT IN THE NEW YORK FUCKING POST!"

Can't wait for Elizabeth's RIP barb

 

[straightorbroken]

Can Lisa Kudrow make her next project Ladies Who Punch please? I'd never seen that full back-on-air ending before.

I think this is my favourite of Kathy Griffin's many Barbara Walters bits, before she got too pally with Cher and thought we all wanted all her sets to incorporate 20 minutes of unfunny material about her mother.



(Starting it at the Brooke Shields wedding anecdote because it ties together, and the whole bit is great).
