Star Jones was one of the five OG co-hosts on The View. Before fame, she graduated from the University of Houston Law Center. She then began working as a Brooklyn homicide prosecutor for the Kings County District Attorney’s Office before being promoted to senior assistant district attorney. 

Even though Jones has had a successful career in Hollywood, she always stays close to her roots. She recently announced that she would replace Judge Faith Jenkins as the new host and judge of Divorce Court later this year. 

In a Twitter statement, she talks about what fans can expect from her in the new season. She says, “I will offer the parties before Divorce Court, as well as viewers, a no-nonsense approach to the law and a decision driven by my proven legal expertise, compassion and empathy, personal experiences, and hard-earned common sense.”

Meredith Vieria was the original moderator and co-host for The View. She fondly recalls her time on the show during an interview with E! News’ Daily Pop, calling it “an amazing experience.” She says, “We all liked each other through my whole time there. I had a great time.”

Following her departure, Vieria replaced Katie Couric as co-anchor of Today in 2006. She also worked as the host for the popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. She even hosted her own syndicated daytime television show, The Meredith Vieria Show. 

Now, you can find Vieria working as the host of 25 Words or Less, a television game show.

Former co-host Debbie Matenopoulos has been pretty busy following her departure from The View. She co-hosted He’s A Lady, a TBS original reality TV series, and Good Day Live, a FOX syndicated morning show.

She also worked alongside Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic to co-host red carpet events for E! Network AND co-hosted its wildly popular show Fashion Police, PLUS much more.

Currently, Matenopoulos pays homage to her Greek roots in her bestselling cookbook, “It’s All Greek To Me.”

She also recently co-hosted Home & Family, a Hallmark channel original daytime featuring a lineup of cooking, DIY, health and wellness, and entertainment segments. The show recently announced its cancellation; however, you can still watch episodes on Hallmark Channel or on demand at Philo online.

Meghan McCain announced her departure from The View in July 2021, two years before her contract ended. As the daughter of the late Arizona senator John McCain, she brought a conservative perspective to the panel. But, even though she divided fans with her political hot takes, that didn’t stop her from moving on towards a successful career soon after leaving the show.

Later that same year, she announced that she would work as a columnist for DailyMail.com. She gushed over her new position, saying, “I’ve always respected the way DailyMail.com tackles issues across the entire political spectrum, and I’m looking forward to sharing my own opinions without fear or favor on the important issues that matter to our readers across the globe.”

Comedian Rosie O’ Donnell was a popular co-host on The View, known for her witty quips. Fans might also recall her fiery clash with former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck surrounding the Iraq war — an unforgettable daytime television moment.

In 2009, she hosted Rosie Radio for Sirius XM Radio, and another talk show called The Rosie Show on OWN. Later, she starred as Tutu on SMILF, a Showtime comedy series.

Currently, O’ Donnell works as a television producer and collaborative partner in the LGBT family vacation company R Family Vacations.

And she recently announced that she would play a small role in the television reboot of A League of Their Own. She co-starred as Doris Murphy in the hilarious original film that follows an all-female baseball team.

You can watch Rosie O’Donnell in A League of Their Own on August 12th on Amazon Prime.
