Watch The View

The View is a long-running American talk show that has aired on ABC since 1997. Created by Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie, the show features a panel of women discussing the day's hot topics, current events, and popular culture. The diverse group of co-hosts, referred to as "The View Table," offers different perspectives, often leading to spirited debates. While controversy and conflict drive much of the discussion, the segment "Hot Topics" also aims to be informative and thought-provoking.

In its 25+ year run, The View has featured celebrities, politicians, authors, musicians, athletes, doctors, and subject matter experts touching on everything from women's issues and parenting to politics and pop culture.
