Elisabeth Hasselbeck joining 'Good Morning America'

Elisabeth-HasselbeckImage Credit: Bob D'Amico/ABC Elisabeth Hasselbeck has a new gig lined up: She’ll be covering family and parenting issues for Good Morning America in addition to her duties on The View. Her first segment will air on Monday and “will look at kids and tattoos – the dangers and the alternatives, as well as how parents should handle kids who come to them begging for one. Elisabeth will also look at the growing trend of parents and kids getting tattoos together,” according to a statement from ABC. O…kay?

I’m not a big Hasselbeck fan, but at least on The View, the other hosts can dilute some of the chirping. Here’s hoping the other GMA correspondents can do the same.

Will you watch Hasselbeck on Good Morning America, PopWatchers?

  • SLB

    No thank you.

    • Devin Faraci

      I’d rather listen to Elizabeth’s chirping that the other “womens’” honking and screeching!

      • Lorri

        ITA! She stands her ground against 4 women. She is a strong lady.

    • jmo

      Ugh. I just hope her segments are at the end of the show…when I’m already at work!

    • Rosalie

      To be fair, if she does not preach about how to raise your kids best, I think she is well suited for the job. She just has to look at things objectively and not with her emotions.I respect everyone’s opinion to why they think they are right or wrong, but you have to LISTEN to the other people so you can get a better understanding of their thought process. My nieces and nephews get the hanahh tatoos on. We don’t have a problem with it at all because we know they will come off. I actually encouraged them to get them so they could have something cool on their arms when they were having their tattoo phase. I told them that hannah would be the way to go because they could change the drawing. It actually satisfied their urge of getting a real tattoo. Anyhow, lets not forget that there is other cultures where tattoos and body piercings are part of their society.

      • TJ. Church

        Rosalie, thinking she’ll do that is like thinking she’ll be a guy; Impossible. (Even more-so than her having a sex-change.)

      • doctor doctor

        I think you mean henna. out of touch

      • Erin

        “She just has to look at things objectively”

        ITA but I doubt her ability to do this. She often comes off like some bitchy tween on the playground. Would be fine if she backed up her views with fact not attitude!

    • Donna

      Agreed. Just another reason never to tune in to GMA. I hate her.

    • Ann

      Now I’ll have to get the barf bag out earlier than when the View airs.

    • kim

      i used to watch the show good morning america but i will not now

    • Tom

      And yet another reason not to watch GMA. EH is nothing but a cvnt! When will she please just go away? Her husband’s a football player, maybe he’ll go OJ on her one day!

      • Sabrina

        That was wayyy harsh Tom.

    • amj

      Exactly my thoughts, no thank you. I enjoy The View in small doses but have no desire to watch Elisabeth lecture all of us on GMA.

    • maljayb

      What was ABC thinking???This is an insult to those of us that actually have experiences with our teens on their issues unlike Elizabeth Hassel-B#%!

  • Mad Man

    I was going to type that I hope that meant she was leaving The View, but then I realized that I didn’t really care about The View.

    • Mack

      Same here Mad Man. I can’t stand that woman and my wife really hates her. She stopped watching The View because of that witch. Oh well…….not nothing off my nose….:)

    • k

      oh. so i was NOT the only jumping with glee until the shared duties part. good.

      • amj

        Nope I was right there with you excited too until I saw the shared duties. I prefer Today and was hoping that her going to GMA I wouldn’t have to see her on The View anymore. I used to be able to take her in small doses but over the years, I have stopped watching The View because of her and everyone else’s reactions to her on the show.

      • Margie

        Me too. Every time I try to watch The View I have to change channels when EH starts harping.

  • Suz

    Um … I can see her talking about issues with young children. However, none of her kids are old enough/teens to have tatoos/want to start getting tatoos. I just don’t see the correlation.

    And she’s so annoying, isn’t just her being on The View enough? She’s not the sole reason, but a major reason why I stopped watching The View.

    • dctoronto

      I am sure if they say “God Only Love Republicans” she’d happily let then get inked.

    • pat

      I quit watching the View..now will have to switch from GMA…too bad she doesn’t just stay home & raise her kids…but guess you have to have 1 breadwinner in family.

      • TJ. Church

        Pat, her husband makes lots of money… And unlike her, earns it.

    • Carla

      I wish Hasslemouth would just jump to Faux News with her peer group, and stay there so I can IGNORE her. I barely watch The View as it is, now she’s ruining GMA.

      • TJ. Church

        Carla, I think she sometimes makes “View” entertaining… But “GMA” had a chance to see her before they hired her, so they deserve what they get.

  • Lorie

    Nope

  • Noomy indeed

    Ugh.
    But, YAY…another reason never to watch GMA. Why is anyone giving her more gigs? She’s self-serving, smug, pretentious, and callously condescending to anyone who does not share her right-wing views. Not to mention dumb as a rock. No, forget that. That would be an insult to rocks.

    • jp

      well said, Noomy.

    • Lucy

      Completely agree — it is beyond me why people continue to give this self-righteous, closed-minded woman new platforms to word vomit on. The idea of anyone taking parenting advice from her is absolutely terrifying.

      • Duane

        Whatever ur opinion is of “Lizzy” and HER opinions it shouldn’t deter u from acknowledging seeing how sweet she truly is! That woman has a heart of gold and she may say stupid things but she is never malicious or mean in her commentary on the View (UNLIKE Whoopi) so stop the Elisabeth hate already (its *soooo 2007 btw ;)

      • BD

        WTF are you talking about, Duane? She’s rude to guests and a moron who thinks she’s smart. She’s actually mean quite often. And her voice is so f-ing grating! She makes Joy Behar sound like a songbird.

      • Kelly

        Why is that if you are a Christian, and a Republican you are “closeminded”? Because you have your own opinion about things and it doesn’t quite match “openminded” liberals? Get over it already and stop stereotyping people based on their religious and political beliefs. THAT’s closeminded

      • shelly

        libs are the closed minded ones, b/c they don’t allow reps and christians to believe what we believe…we are wrong according the them…they are the intolerant ones…i will watch…

      • Erin

        Kelly, I think YOU are stereotyping people. Who says that her detractors are liberals? Or that she is closeminded just because she is a Republican. I don’t care what or who she supports, it’s the moronic comments and the the way she goes about pushing her view that irks me.

    • Meredith

      Hi Lucy. I have no thoughts on Elizabeth Hasselback, but I would venture a guess that you yourself are just as close-minded and self-righteous toward people who do not share *your* views. In fact, clearly you are since you are slamming this woman who disagrees with you.

      • Kristen

        meredith, actually if you watched the view that she refuses to admit she is wrong, even when she knows she is.

      • Jack

        there is a difference between being close minded and pointing out that someone (like Elisabeth) refuses to even listen to someone else’s opinion. she constantly contradicts herself too.

      • Meredith

        Kristen and Jack, can you give several examples of this?

      • jess

        Meridith, you are certainly free to worship this hate-filled imbocile, but those of us who are intelligent enough to see her for what she is are not “closed-minded.” We simply have functioning brains in our heads.

      • Rosa

        at the end of the clip she mentions that biden is an idiot for saying that FDR was president during the depression…im sorry but he WAS president during the great depression

      • @ Meredith

        You may have had a point if Lucy knocked her views, but she didn’t, she just said she’s closed-minded. Saying someone else is closed-minded doesn’t mean you are too.

      • René De Beaumarchais

        Reminds me of Apple fanpeople.

      • kross

        jess, is you are going to call someone an “imbocile” and remark about how intelligent you are then at least spell the word “imbecile” correctly!!!

      • Mack

        Kross if you are going to say something about how someone spells how about YOU atleast capitalize your first letter at the beginning of your sentence and your proper nouns should be capitalized too.

      • Meredith

        Jess, clearly you are a genius who comprehensively answered my question. You’re also a fantastic speller. And the examples given don’t substantiate the ire people are showing against Elizabeth–whom I do not “worship” or even know that much about. I’m simply commenting on people’s indignation and their own intolerance.

    • emarell

      Noomy wrote it well.
      This website’s name says it well too: “ew.”
      I say this is the the most self destructive programming move since NBC’s Today Show brought the equally unbearable Jenna Bush on board. Where’s my remote?????

    • ddie

      well said,i can`t stand her i got tired of her always bickering and acting like she know everthing about everthing

    • mary

      ditto ditto

    • robb

      Your right noomy! Rocks also keep thier opinions to themselves. And they are prettier. I won’t watch gma either because they keep adding stupid people to the group. She has definitely ruined the view and is so opinionated about everything. She should try staying home and raising her kids intead of talking about them on tv. She’s another Kathie Lee Gifford so she’ll fit right in.

    • Brenda Barrett

      Agreed. I can’t stand this ugly moron.

  • Carole

    The media seems to have a love fest with loud, obnoxious, right wing ladies. Palin, O’Donnell, and now Hasselback.

    • catherine

      Really, O’Donnell right wing. I think you must be confused on what right wing means. Palin and Hasselbeck yes, O’Donnell is as left wing as you can get.

      • mmmmmm

        I thought Carole meant Christine O’Donnell?

      • Kat

        I think Carole meant Christine O’Donnell, not Rosie. But I was also confused for a second.

      • SA

        I believe the other reader was referring to Christine O’Donnell who is running for the Senate (Delaware) not Rosie.

      • Morgan

        …how is O’Donnell left wing?? She’s a nutter, but she is no left wing liberal.

      • Morgan

        OKAY, I get it. Yes, Rosie is left-wing, not Christine. Sorry; I was confused too!

      • Carole

        Christine “I am not a witch” O’Donnell

      • Carla

        Clearly meant Christine O’Donnell. Apparently Republican women are forced to be lobotomized if The Wicked Witch of Delaware and Hasselmouth are examples.

    • Lorri

      We can tell you are a liberal.
      I like EH! She stands up for what she believes is right. She is a good christian lady.

  • Geo

    The girl (and yes she seems more a girl than a woman, in reality), knows nothing about much of anything. LEt’s pray she knows something about parenting. LEt’s also pray she does more than huff and puff and wish she could come up with something clever to say, as she does so often on The View… or at least did before I stopped watching. Her inner tantrums are just not fun to watch.

    • Terry

      Y’know, I’m hardly a conservative, but it really gets me when people get their hate filled panties in a bunch over someone who, while I don’t agree with her politics, seems decent enough. Trying to slam her for what she doesn’t know, jeez, do you think your local anchormand knows (feces) about Darfur? Whatch the View sometimes and you’ll see the hosts quietly listen to their earplugs getting information or questions from the booth. Good thing too, sometimes one of them(not just Elizabeth) asks some really stupid question that you can tell they thought up all by themselves. This is usually followed by a halfway intelligent remark or question that I can only deduce comes from the booth for dqamage control. Lets face it, most of the talking heads on tv are not really there fpor their intelligence, that’s why they have writers. And I’ll trust Hasselbecks advice on parenting(umm, since she is actually a parent) then I’ll take political advice from your average celebrity. I mean, Sean Penn isn’t going to sway me to the left any more than Bo Derek is gonna sway me to the right. Well, Bo Derek does have a better chance but that has nothing to do with her political views.

      • Mack

        Terry take a page from your own book. You say it “gets” you when people get their hate filled panties over someone yet you are here doing just that against people you are talking about. WTF?

      • Terry

        Where am I throwing out hate at anyone and at who?

  • Mary

    No I cannot stand her – she needs to be removed from TV altogether. What the heck were they thinking at GMA??????????

  • IRENE CLAYTON-WHITLOW

    ELIZABETH HAS A GOOD SOUL, HOWEVER, HER VIEWS ARE MUCH MORE FAR LEFT THAN MINE. SHE WILL BE A GOOD EDITION TO THE SHOW WITH MERIDETH HER FORMER FRIEND. BLACK LADY SPEAKING HERE. I KNOW WWHAT I SPEAK. LOTS O FLOVE IRENE

    • kc

      @Irene
      Um, considering that Meredith isn’t even on GMA, your comment makes absolutely no sense.
      I’m going to assume you’re a troll, from the caps and nonsensical sentence formation. Thanks for playing.

      • IRENE CLAYTON-WHITLOW

        MERIDETH IS TOO ON GMA – YOU AR AN IDIOT!

      • jes

        I think Meredith’s on Today.

      • robb

        @kc LOL would that be trolling for Dollars?

      • jgh

        Meredith Viera is on The Today Show on NBC. She is not on GMA. And what the heck does Elisabeth know about children and tattoo’s? Just because she has children (all under 7 I believe) does not make her an expert; for that matter she is not an expert on ANYTHING.

      • Mack

        Irene stop with the caps already and stop opening your mouth if you can’t even google something. Meredith is NOT on GMA she is on The Today Show. Look it up troll. BTW what does your color have to do with anything????

      • miss k

        Haha, I love when obnoxious people who think they know everything are flat-out wrong. Meredith is on the Today Show on NBC. Btw, YOU ARE AN IDIOT! Now how’s that feel??

    • Buffy Freak

      Um, where to start? First, if her views are “far left” of yours, you must be more conservative than Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich combined. Second she’ll be an ADDITION not an edition. Third Meredith (Viera I assume) is on The Today Show, not GMA. Other than that, you do know what you speak, I guess.

    • jes

      If Hasselbeck’s views are too “left” for you, you scare the h#ll outta me!!

      • nodnarb

        No kidding! Is Irene a member of the Taliban?

      • Amy

        hahaha nodnarb that was great.

      • jes

        I think I’d be less afraid of the taliban.

      • IRENE CLAYTON-WHITLOW

        YOU ARE ALL FOOLS

    • SR

      Irene,
      I think you’re confusing GMA with the today show, and right wing with left wing. It doesn’t get anymore right wing than Hasselbeck.
      I was saddened when the great Diane Sawyer left GMA. Now I’m downright disappointed.

      • Bren

        I miss the team they used to have, too. Diane, Robin, Chris and Sam were great together. I stopped watching it when they shipped Chris off to 20/20 and brought in George and JuJu. The chemistry just isn’t the same. I noticed their string of 3 straight Daytime Emmys ended this year. I wonder if this means they are grooming Hasselbeck to someday do more.

    • jess

      psssst… Merideth Vierra is on Today. And why are you screaming?? Take your medication already!

    • irishSharon

      She is getting too left wing for me also!

    • hoganbcmj

      “ADDITION” not “edition”

    • Lorri

      Can’t wait to see her on GMA!

    • Donna

      Stop embarrassing yourself.

      • TJ. Church

        Donna, you first.

    • Barb

      I suggest you stick with Fox and maybe Christian Broadcasting Network. GMA has been turning so far right wing lately, I’ve been reconsidering my morning choice… I may try out NBC and CBS again.

  • Bea

    I wasn’t a regular GMA viewer before. Now I definitely won’t tune in.

  • dominique

    Disheartening. GMA just went way down in my estimation, giving that strident woman a prime position on their staff. I will try not to watch it anymore. Sigh. The right wing controls the media, and the most loud and extreme get all the attention. Our country is in sad shape, there is no middle road, only extremists.

  • amanda

    weird topic for her to cover. As someone else mentioned, her kids are little. She MIGHT have some insight into little kid issues…but tattoos? I can already see her up on her soapbox about how immoral tattoos are and how awful parents are who let their kidds get them. blech.

  • D.

    I’m glad to know this, I will remember to never tune into GMA again.

  • bruno

    i’m immediately going out and getting a tattoo with my kid.

    • Kat

      I am going to adopt a kid just so I can take it out and get a tattoo with it. I’m thinking we should get matching Elizabeth Hasselbeck tattoos!

      • hoganbcmj

        hilarious! Elizabeth with a big red circle and cross-out on it.

      • robb

        @KAT how about you each get half of her face and when people ask you can say each of you has a half wit.

    • Dgently

      @bruno – Love this

    • TJ. Church

      Bruno, here’s an idea: A bunch of us get big tattoos (like guys with painted chests @ sporting events) to spell out, “Elizabeth sucks!”. Then, we all get a row of seats together @ “The View”!

  • jp

    Goodbye, Good Morning America.

    • Joe

      Must be only no brain liberals on this site. Get your head out of your butt before you explode with all the dope you are on. Obviously, you don’t like anyone with morals. All the other big mouths on the view are stinking libs who are trying to destoy our constitution and our country, along with the democRATS.

      • Jodey

        No brain liberals? I am conservative and cannot STAND Elisabeth. She may share many of my views but the way she represents herself is just classless. The girl can’t get through one debate without disrespecting herself and fellow conservatives.

        I wish she’d just GO AWAY. Get a conservative on the View who can defend their position intelligently without getting lost in their own words. She’s a moron.

      • Jack

        can’t even take this comment seriously….

      • Sara

        “DemocRATS”? AAAhhhh…I’ll just put you in the same category as people who type “RepubliKKKans”.
