Report: Monica Lewinsky Not Headed To 'The View'

Monica Lewinsky

Barbara Walters may have retired from her days in front of the camera on The View but she is still apparently hoping to pull some strings behind the scenes.

Daily Mail is claiming that Barbara wants 41-year-old Monica Lewinsky to join the show.

A source told the website, "Barbara believes that Monica could make The View competitive and compelling, and while a lot of Washington's elite may scratch the show off its must-visit press list, the younger demographic of online users would tune in daily to see what she had to say." Barbara has supposedly reached out to ABC execs to make it happen.



The multi-host show was created by Walters in 1997 with an original panel of women including Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Joy Behar and Debbie Matenopoulos.

However, ABC sources are brushing off a report that broadcasting legend Barbara Walters wants the infamous White House intern Monica Lewinsky to be the savior of “The View.”

While network sources told the NYDaily News that Lewinsky would make an “intriguing” guest host, the chances of her replacing Rosie O’Donnell are “hugely unlikely.”
