‘The View’ changes to include a new producer
Bill Geddie helped create the show with Barbara Walters 17 years ago
Change keeps coming to talk show The View.
Its longtime executive producer, Bill Geddie, said in a statement on Friday that he won’t be involved in day-to-day production.
The shift comes as The View reshapes its panel of co-hosts for next season. Series creator Barbara Walters has retired from on-camera duties, while Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy won’t be returning.
The final new episode with Shepherd and McCarthy airs on Monday.
Remaining co-host Whoopi Goldberg will be joined this autumn by Rosie O’Donnell, who’s back for a second View stint. Other co-hosts have yet to be announced.
Geddie says he’s “enormously proud” of the show he and Walters created 17 years ago.
ABC had no comment on a replacement for Geddie, who says he plans to help with the transition throughout the upcoming season.
