• Barbara Walters Thinks 'The View' Is Toxic, Refuses to Return

    Ever since Barbara Walters left her seat at the table on ABC's "The View" last spring, the show has been in a slump. The powers-that-be seemed to truly believe that if they brought in a bunch of new blood they could bring it back to being the solid morning chatfest that once dominated its time slot. Instead, their on-air talent has clashed and chaos behind the scenes has created an even bigger mess that has translated into even lower ratings. After months of clashing with Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell just announced that she will be leaving and the producers are scrambling to try and save the show. The problem is that the environment is so toxic that even Walters refuses to return.

  • Lester Holt Prepped to Take Over for Brian Williams -- Permanently

    As Brian Williams's credibility continues to crash and burn at NBC News, the network desperately needs someone to step up and reassure viewers that it is credible, and right now the best man for the job is Lester Holt. His on-air presence is calm yet rock solid. He has filled in for nearly everyone in his 15 years at the network, including Williams, and his way of delivering the news reeks of credibility and certainty. Holt is certainly the man who can keep "NBC Nightly News" afloat while the network decides what to do with Williams and what seems to be quickly turning into a repeated problem with "misremembering" particular events. Holt is being prepped to take over for Williams permanently.
