The View with Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Elisabeth Hasselbeck (née Filarski) was
born on May 28, 1977 in Cranston, Rhode Island.
In 2003, Hasselbeck was one of a number of women who guest-hosted
to replace outgoing The View co-host Lisa Ling, who left the
show at the end of 2002. Hasselbeck made it to the last few
contenders, and was finally chosen by the other panelists
(in a Survivor-style "Tribal Council") as the new
co-host. Hasselbeck typically represents the conservative
position on The View,
defending creationism and the war on terror, and opposing
euthanasia and abortion.
On the April 11, 2007 episode of The
View, Hasselbeck announced that she would be guest
co-hosting Fox's Fox and Friends the week of April 16. On
April 25, 2007, co-host Barbara
Walters announced that Hasselbeck would return the following
season along with Joy Behar.
Hasselbeck went on maternity leave on October 23, 2007. Her
return is scheduled to be on the first episode after the show's
Christmas hiatus, which will be on January 7, 2008.
