“The View” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck will be joining Fox News Channel in September to co-host the top-rated morning show “Fox & Friends.”
Hasselbeck will be replacing current co-host Gretchen Carlson, who will begin anchoring her own daytime show on Fox News Channel in the fall.
“Elisabeth’s warm and engaging personality made her a star on The View,” Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said in a statement Tuesday. “She has proven to be an excellent conversationalist and I am certain she will make a great addition to our already successful morning franchise.”
Wow! A permanent slot on the Fox and Friends couch!
Gee Palin was only invited on one time, and then sent back to doing remotes.
Gotta sting!
As for Hasslebeck now she gets to spout her Right Wing nonsense without more intelligent people telling her why she is wrong.
Fox News, where being ignorant and misinformed is a job requirement.
Not to mention that Hasselbeck's support of Palin soured a long time ago. I don't remember exactly what she said, but it wasn't nice. We know how forgiving the mentally ill Palin is.
ReplyDeleteI think Ailes re-hired Sarah, knowing she would think she was hot stuff, and knowing that he was going to hire Hasselbeck and promote Carlson and Kelly.
ReplyDeletePalin won't recognize that her weekend and radio spots in comparison to the new positions of Hasselbeck, Carlson, and Kelly are Ailes' way of saying "What part of 'we don't need you' don't you understand?"
But she will recognize that this is just wrong! Well, she'll show them! She'll run for Senate! So there! Also, I can haz muneez? Hey, hey, I'm the star! Look at meeeeee! Also, need moar muneez! Halp?
What a demented mess.
Ailes' way of saying "What part of 'we don't need you' don't you understand?"
Delete...I wish someone would pay me the kind of money she's probably getting next time I'm not needed at work. :)
Some time ago, Sarah let out the publicity that she had been offered her own show at Fox but it would mean moving to either New York or Los Angeles. Of course, she would NEVER leave Alaska (except for Arizona and/or any reality show offer that came her way). I don't think that any of these decisions are made in a week or two. More like a couple of months of negotiations, and we could tell towards the end of last year that things were not going well for Palin. She made fewer and fewer appearances on Fox. Then in January, we learned that she was given a low ball offer, which of course she refused (at first, ask me again, Roger, ask me again, I promise that I'll be good this time and only say what your staff sends me to me to say, please, I really need this job.) Palin could not survive NY or LA. She's a small town girl and she appeals to the same kind of people. At least Fox reaches the small towns of the US.
ReplyDeleteOffered her own show? HAR HAR HAR!!!
DeleteI remember that - it flopped after one episode and was immediately killed.
DeleteSomeone offered to film her cleaning Roger's toilet and call it a show. Big whoop for Sarah!
DeleteNot that I consider Fox to be in any way a real news outlet, but what journalistic qualifications does this woman possess?
ReplyDeleteNone whatsoever. Hasselback is, believe it or not, a step down from Gretchen Carlson. Carlson is well educated, though she is forced to hide it on the morning show. Hasselback is a complete tool. She'll fit right in at Fox.
DeleteJournalistic qualifications? She's blond.
DeleteCarlson isn't forced to do anything. She chooses to hid it.
DeleteUmm that would be: NONE!!
DeleteBefore getting a job on the View, she was a fucking CONTESTANT ON SURVIVOR!!!
Don,'t forget. She's married to a,quarterback and she has kids. Now she just needs to work in her rack. She has the short tight skirt thing down already.
DeleteGood. Now sane people don't have to ehar Hasselbeck's nonsense on a real network, and Hasselbeck can preach to the choir. And Palin? Well, she can expect never to get an invitation to F&F again..but maybe she can 'appear' more often on Sean's radio show: she doesn't even have to wear her wig for that.
ReplyDelete'Excellent conversationalist?' Spare me.
ReplyDeleteThe few times I've had the excruciating misfortune of watching 'The View,' E.H. has always looked like she was about to pop a blood vessel with that screechy, shrill voice of hers.
"“She has proven to be an excellent conversationalist..."
DeleteJust add: in comparison to Sarah Palin.
There. Now it makes sense.
Just one more reason I don't/won't watch Fox.
ReplyDeleteHasselback stated on The View a long time ago that she was not as enamored w/Palin as she was originally.
ReplyDeleteHasselback is proving to be a LOT more successful than the idiot Palin ever thought of being!
Morning Joe Mocks Palin Senate Run: Being A Candidate Is Different Than ‘Running Your Own Cooking Show’
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mediaite.com/tv/morning-joe-mocks-palin-senate-run-being-a-candidate-is-different-than-running-your-own-cooking-show/
Funny.. Begich has his own dry wit....
DeleteSarah Palin “quit on Alaska” as governor and “ has lost touch” with her home state, Sen. Mark Begich told POLITICO.
The Democratic senator said Palin, who said Tuesday she’s considering challenging him for his seat in 2014, might not even be a resident of Alaska and is someone he won’t take seriously unless she emerges from a competitive Republican primary.

sarah proved to be as socially awkward as rmoney when she appeared on faux & friends. she can only appear on greta and sean's show where the host(ess) kisses her ass, worships her and lobs pre-read soft balls at her...bill-o cornered her like the vermin she is every time she appeared on his show..
ReplyDelete@jcinco And, Palin can only last up to 4 minutes with Greta or anyone else. Even Greta had to cut her off.

LOL this is so much fun, i hope she runs.
On Hasselbeck: "Moreover, she is a tested name and will bring her own version of star power to the show, and to the wider network. She is also likely to make regular appearances on primetime shows like Bill O'Reilly's and Sean Hannity's."
ReplyDeleteAw, they dusted off the press release they used when they hired Palin years ago.
Palin, dear, do take a hint. You are over. You are so yesterday. You're not the "hottest governor" any more. There are newer, younger, fresher, prettier faces in town and Roger has hired them and promoted them.
Those promotions? Those are for on-air talent that has been with Fox for several years at least. Oh, you say you have been with Fox for years? Oh, how awkward, dear.
I hope you can figure out what's going on.
"sarah proved to be as socially awkward as rmoney when she appeared on faux & friends."
ReplyDeleteI agree completely, jcinco. That was the most striking part of her appearance, her total discomfort with the other panel members.
Not starting until September? She will emerge from the two months off with a facelift and a new hairstyle to make it less obvious that she's had a facelift... mark my words.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she'll even take a shower. maybe.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck only looks good next to Sarah Palin looking so bad.
ReplyDeleteAfter Sarah Palin's failure and dismissal from Fox they are probably looking for a way out that she can keep the facade of dignity an relevance. Hence, appeal to the sheeple for money at the same time she can leave Fox without looking like a loser or a quitter. Pretending to run for Senator in Alaska is the best they could come up with. Arizona wouldn't work, McCain no doubt wants to distance himself the best he can. He still has to play like he is proud of not vetting the pregnant thing.

DeleteHe still has to play like he is proud of not vetting the not pregnant thing.
There, fixed it for ya'!
Thanks 12:51
DeleteWhy would you think Sarah would move to NY to sit on a couch? I think that's the LAST thing shed EVER do.
ReplyDeleteShe'd be there in a New York minute. What are you smoking?
Deleteshed ?
DeleteAin't room enough on that couch for both of them. Besides, didn't Palin snub Elizabeth after she was done using her for the campaign?
DeleteShe left a permanent spot on that couch the last time she visited. At least GMA had the decency to haul away the entire set and put a match to it after Sarah left.
DeleteLol. You just tried to say the other ladies on the View areintelligent. I hang around Ph D holders and upscale members of society and they find the View a breeding ground for shallowness and ridiculous thinking. Barbara may have "skirted" her way up the food chain, but she's not exactly Einstein. And Joy just screeches shallow liberal platitudes that make no logical or practical sense. Sherris literally the dumbest human on the planet "the earth is flat". These women give Joe Biden cred as Rhode scholar and he rivals dumb and dumber in intellectual thought.
ReplyDeleteOh, is it Troll Day already, Gryphen?
DeleteHanging around idiots like yourself that spout crap that's "Piled higher and Deeper" doesn't make you or the idiots you "hang around" smart or educated.
DeleteYour moronic comment about the very intelligent, well-educated, and knowledgeable Joe Biden is proof that you and the fools you "hang around" are imbeciles.
oh please educate us; we are just horrible dumbasses who pick on Sarah because she is so beautiful and her family is faultless. We are just jealous.
DeleteAlthough I don't watch "The View" regularly, Barbara, Whoopi, Joy and Sherri can hold their own in conversation with anyone they put on. Lis, bless her QVC clothing line, is the one who spends five minutes spouting bullshit, then sits back swinging her leg, her arms up on the couch, shrugging her shoulders and saying "That's all I got".
DeleteGot to give her credit for how grateful she was to Barbara for giving her a job all these years. Moving to Fox isn't "advancing" her career.
You hang around "Ph D holders"? lol, THey let you hang around because you're a textbook example of a brain damaged individual?
ReplyDeleteI imagine that you also serve on a number of Boards and can eloquently express your own thoughts, too. There are a number of very popular shows on TV that are do not meet the PhD level of intelligence. But, a lot of people watch them, and Sarah Palin would love to be a part of any and all of them. She has had her try outs, she didn't pass.
ReplyDeleteElisabeth Hasselback Gives Emotional Goodbye On 'The View' After 10 Years As Co-Host
ReplyDeletehttp://www.businessinsider.com/elisabeth-hasselback-goodbye-on-the-view-2013-7
Palin did not choose to age gracefully or develop her mind and talent when the world was at her feet.
ReplyDeleteI understand why she believes in God.
Honestly, God has done well by her considering that she is the antithesis of every thing good and kind, while others, the meek and the weak who have never harmed a soul just get the stuffing kicked out of them on a day-to-day basis. I wonder about this God of ours...why her?
Mrs. Palin is a terrible person full of hate and animosity and it shows in her face and in her speech. She's about as far away from "Godliness" as a person could be and in that black heart of hers she must know it, deep down inside she knows and it eats her alive, from the inside.
DeleteShe doesn't believe in a Being greater than she is. She is a narcissist. She believes that other people believe in God and that their "God" wants her to rule over everyone. So she accommodates them with the language they want to hear.
DeleteSarah does not believe herself to be less than or subject to anyone or any God.
Hasselback has beautiful sculpted arms, not those weird TRex arms that Mrs. Palin sports. Must chap her ass that Hasselbeck made the cut for Gretchen's spot and she didn't. Ha, ha, ha, slow clap......
ReplyDeleteBut what if she had sported better wigs instead of polywigs with headbands?
ReplyDeleteI know we all want to know about Trig but now, I would really like to know why she wears so many horrible wigs?
I remember her hairstylist in Wasilla saying that her hair was thinning. Has it gotten to this point? I do not know anyone who wears wigs. If she wears wigs because it is more convenient than washing and setting her hair, god knows how long she has been wearing the same underwear?
Thank God! Since I never watch Fox, I'll never have to see her again!
ReplyDeleteBubeye Lis! Congratulations on your demotion to Fox News. Good Idea to take a few months off. Does Roger let you plug your clothing line on qvc, or does he take a "cut"?
ReplyDeleteGee, I wonder who they'll pick to fill her seat? I hear Brooke Shields's name being bandied about, but surely there MUST be an uber bimbo with bad wigs and a following SOMEWHERE!

Wednesday to Sean Hannity: “I’ve done it, and it can be done, and that’s what people need to remember and need to buck up and energize themselves to do. Change it, and change it from within, and that’s why again, I say, leaving the party isn’t my first choice, but if they leave me, then I’ll have no choice but to be elsewhere.” Sarah Palin
