How about making it Monique's big comeback role.

David Hasselhoffs daughter as Meghan, I bet she's just as obnoxious. Don't know if she's an actress but aren't all celebrity spawn aspiring actors/models.

Star Jones created her a version this show based her book, Daytime Divas. Vanessa Williams starred. No one watched.

Debbie Matenopolous could probably play herself.

Who will play Hasselbitch? I can't think of anyone whose voice is snippy enough.

Sonny Hostin has it in her contract that if a movie is ever made, J. Lo has to play her.

It wasn't exactly the story of The View, but a fictional show called The Lunch Hour. No one would ever cast Vanessa Williams as Star Jones.

Jenny McCarthy...Melissa McCarthy + CGI

R17 Melissa would steer clear of this project, especially if her cousin Jenny is portrayed negatively.

Kathy Bates as Rosie
Jen Anniston as Nicolle Wallace

Camilla Parker Bowles as Whoopi in black face, that would make it watchable

Why not Ted Danson as Whoopi?

Any suggestions for Candace Cameron Bure?

I think they'll just focus on the Rosie year.

Lots of soap actors out of work right now, we should cast some of them.
Nancy Lee Grahn from GH as Meredith Viera

Wendie Malick would be a fun Meredith

I would only watch this if Fred Armisen plays Joy Behar!!!

R28 That make me think...a Drag Race “The View” challenge is long overdue! They could do the original cast for one group and the current cast for another.

Can we do color-blond casting? I would love to see Oprah play Rosie.

America Ferrera for Rosie P

Joy was looking like her own grandmother on this morning's show.
I realize she's nearing 80, but can't ABC have a stylist go to her residence and help her out?
