Top 10 Reasons The View Merits an Emmy
With The View having netted 10 consecutive nominations in the Daytime Emmys' Outstanding Talk Show Host contest — yet failing to convert on any nods to date — ABC has offered up this list of Joy Behar's top 10 reasons why she, Babs, Liz and Rosie/"Occupant" are worthy.
10. We've already lost nine times and Susan Lucci is worried we'll beat her record. [Lucci/Emmys joke? Check.]
9. We're the only show with Hot Topics and hot flashes. [Borderline bawdy item? Check.]
8. We promise our acceptance speech will be shorter than Britney’s hair. [Topical-ish reference, check.]
7. We give free juice, cookies and foot massages to our studio audience. [Blatant-but-"cute" lie, check.]
6. We all know how to decoupage. [Arcane item, check.]
5. Limoncello endorsements by celebrity guests. [Getting even less topical....]
4. If Barbara Walters' dog can talk, then anything is possible. ["In" joke, check.]
3. Two words: Celebrity feuds. ["Two words" item, check.]
2. We support the American confetti industry in between parades. ["In" joke No. 2 (it's allowed), check.]
1. Donald Trump is not a Daytime Emmy voter. [The one you see coming down Broadway (though usually slotted around Nos. 4 or 5), check.]
Behar then adds, "It would be nice if we did win because rumor has it Brad and Angelina promised to adopt us." [And we end on a high note.]

Man if The View does win an Emmy for Talk show host, Babs plan for hiring Rosie worked.

According to Rosie, the reason would be a conspiracy from the conservatives to bar her and the View from winning the Emmy!!

Barbara's plan already worked with an increase in viewers netted in the millions.
I love Joy. It's too bad so much of what she says gets credited to Rosie, since everyone seems to think she's the only one saying anything at all - not true. Good to see her get credit this time.

Boy it's hard to believe The View hasn't won an Emmy with such hilarious writing like that Top 10 list!
Oh yeah, by the way, that was dripping in sarcasm.

The daytime Emmy play favorite and people playing nice. in the past 20 years the Daytime host award has gone to the past 2 years Ellen,1 for Wayne Brady,Rosie won 6 years in her row for celebrity talk show and before that Oprah and Donahue took turns winning. Joan rivers won once, Sallp jesse won once & Montel won once in between those. and Regis won the year after Kathy lee and before Kelly.
They never give it to mutual nominees becuase you may like 1 nominee and hate the rest. I always liked Meredith & Joy but that's about it with the View.
