Is There Life After The View? Elisabeth Hasselbeck Being Wooed By CNN
March 21 2013, Published 9:09 a.m. ET
The View’s ultra conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck – who’s rumored to be on her way out of the ABC chat show, despite claims to the contrary by Barbara Walters -- is being wooed by CNN’s new boss, Jeff Zucker, according to a new report.
The New York Post reports that Zucker is interested in seeing Hasselbeck, 35, join his fledging cable channel.
Thursday’s edition of the paper quotes a source as saying, “They’re definitely interested.”
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Walters was furious that an embarrassing leak about plans to replace the polarizing Hasselbeck on The View forced her to say otherwise on the show last week.
Reports that Hasselbeck was being canned went viral March 8, resulting in Walters, who is also executive producer of the show, to make the unconvincing denial, saying “We have no plans for Elisabeth to leave this show.”
