View' co-host going on maternity leave......

NEW YORK (AP) — Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a co-host of ABC's The View, will go on maternity leave next month, a show spokesman said Saturday.

Hasselbeck, 30, will leave the popular New York-based daytime talk show beginning Nov. 8 or Nov. 9, spokesman Karl Nilsson confirmed.

Various celebrity guests will fill in for her while she is on leave, he said.

Hasselbeck, who was a contestant on the reality show Survivor: The Australian Outback, is pregnant with her second child.

She's married to NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, who was recently released by the New York Giants and played at Boston College, where the two met.

They have a 2-year-old daughter named Grace.

Hasselbeck announced her pregnancy in April.


:woohoo: Yes, now I can watch without having to "mute" it whenever she talks. :puke:

even see her..

I have never watched the view..can't really stand any of them :)..but she's an annoying one to be sure :)

Dare I hope? :D

Since hubby is unemployed, she'll probably decide to keep working... x(

:shrug:

Don't start now, but wait until the first day she's gone. I don't watch much TV but I'll start watching the day after she's gone just to make a point.

she's reproducing.
