Elisabeth Hasselbeck will be leaving The View tomorrow and joining Fox & Friends in September, when Gretchen Carlson will get her own show.
The New York Post reports:
(Hasselbeck) will join Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade on the Fox couch in mid-September.
...Current “FOX & Friends” co-host Gretchen Carlson will now anchor a one-hour daytime program beginning in early fall.
Huffington Post hypothesizes that Carlson will take over one of the hours of America Live, once Megyn Kelly returns from maternity leave and moves to prime time.
Something tells me Hasselbeck will not get along so well with Doocy and Kilmeade but we'll see.
Do you like this post?

Just to get this in on Hasslebeck:
She’s the only person who has ever been on the view that I never really liked. She’s like one of those actors that don’t care about turning in a good performance playing the good guy, but the passion they put into being a bad guy is almost disturbing.
I have no doubt she could be a nice person, probably because it’s not hard to be a nicer person than she comes across as on The View… But onscreen, she’s either an incredibly vicious person, or she’s half into it.
Then again, I thought the same thing about Carlson. She seemed like an intelligent, somewhat warm person outside of Fox, but what will we remember of her on-air? Panty shots and an almost bipolar persona.

And she is a devout Catholic, too. Gretch is Protestant so now Fox & Friends is uniformly part of the “one true church.” Hasslebeck and I went to the same Catholic high school (obviously not at the same time) tee, hee.

We’re haters, Victoria?
Here’s what you should be nauseated about Victoria that women can only be a host of a television program if they look like they walked out of a modeling catalog. Right, left or center it doesn’t matter. They must please the men in charge of advertising who feel they need a playmate to attract viewership to sell their product. Those who don’t meet those standards need not apply.
Just think of the many capable women who never got the opportunity because of their personal appearance, while we men are judged differently and actually graded on our abilities and given a pass on what we look like.

Victoria, I may be a hater but I understand the difference between “your” and “you’re”

What is really sad is when she wasn’t talking politics I liked Elizabeth Hsselbeck on The View. She seemed nice and little ditzy. It will be interesting to see how much of her soul she will sell to fit into the snarky mold.

@truman Hmmmmmmmmmmm, looks like you forgot something truman: How on earth can you surgically remove half a brain when Elisabeth Hasselbeck simply doesn’t have one?
;^)
Anyway, since Hasselbeck will be joining the curvy couch morons soon, I thought it would be appropriate to dish out this dose of light humor:
Q: What would you call four curvy couch blondes sitting together?
A: A wind tunnel!
:^)

Milord said what I was going to say, so I’ll just promote my several swipes at Wretched Gretched on my Not Now Silly blog:

BTW: What’s the over/under on whether Wretched Gretched even gets a show?
With all my snark,

I never thought it would be possible to decrease the cumulative IQ of the F&F panel.

This is Fox’s way of putting Gretchen out to pasture. Give her a daytime show that they cancel after a few months time.

Wretchen Gretchen is aging out of this fraudulent “news” channel. Once she reaches a certain age, the ditzy Barbie will be replaced by a much younger ditzyBarbie.
NOTE TO GRETCHEN
You are too old for news broadcast. The male viewers prefer a younger blonde.

Poor Gretch it was only a matter of time before she was moved out, after all the ratings weren’t the only things Ailes thought were sagging.

Careful Gretchen, don’t forget this is the way Fox got rid of the blonde you replaced, E D Hill.
