The New York Times once called "The View" the most important political TV show in America." For 25 years, the popular ABC series has drawn in a loyal audience that tunes in daily to listen to discussions on the nation's most divisive topics.
The daytime talk show first premiered on August 11, 1997 and over time, it developed its "funny and fun" entertainment brand hat showcased intelligent yet lighthearted conversations on equally lighthearted topics, from pop culture to sex. It was also headed by a panel of five women: show creator and retired journalist Barbara Walters, veteran broadcast journalist Meredith Vieira, lawyer Star Jones, television host Debbie Matenopoulos, and comedian Joy Behar.
