Barbara Walters, the retired mother hen of “The View,” has the perfect antidote for ABC’s ratings-challenged gabfest – Monica Lewinsky, according to a report.
The legendary newswoman, who created the show, says the world’s most famous former White House intern would be a “runaway success,” the Daily Mail Online reports, citing a network source.
“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,” the source told the site.
