The View July 25th Recap: Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Florence
They started the show talking about how Sherri Shepherd went to see Damn Yankees!, which she enjoyed. Whoopi asked her which butt she sat on, saying that she can now reveal that Sherri had a procedure done by one of the plastic surgeons on yesterday’s show. Sherri said she had her butt done and came out and showed it off. Then Sherri revealed that she had not had plastic surgery, but rather had “booty poppers” put on. Whoopi used her Valley Girl voice again during most of the segment as she asked Sherri about it. Then Elisabeth Hasselbeck came over and felt Sherri’s butt and said it checked out. Sherri then showed what the “booty poppers” was, which was panties with padding to give you a bigger butt. The actual name is Booty Pop Panties and you can visit the site by clicking that link.
Then Whoopi handed them all them baby dolls that were very realistic looking from Bountiful Baby. Joy dropped hers on the table then picked it up and said it looks like a chicken. Elisabeth said it looks so real her milk came back in. Sherri remarked that her baby was white. Then the hosts gave the dolls to people in the audience and Joy threw hers at her cousin who was in the audience. Whoopi said some people use them to practice having a child, while others use them to get over grief. (As an aside, I saw a very interesting documentary about people who have dolls like this. Unfortunately I just looked and it has been pulled off of YouTube due to copyright).
Whoopi was wearing a Snoopy shirt that said “Body by Junkfood.” Earlier in the week she wore a Pigpen shirt. She said that Peanuts is a way she expresses herself.
Children are getting burned on playground equipment, including the tar mats, which can get very hot in the sun. Whoopi said to put shoes on your children and check the equipment to see if it is hot.
A new book says you can be in love with more than one person because our mating drives can allow us to have different kinds of love for different people. Joy read a story that when you are in that first stage of passionate, hot for them love, they can show you a picture of a beautiful person and you won’t even pay attention because of focus on that one person you are in love with. Whoopi said that people can fall in love with two different people and have to make a choice. They talked about The Notebook and Joy said that was different because she thought he was out of her life. Elisabeth also said that if your love dies and you fall in love with another person, you may be in love with two people. Sherri said that in Castaway, the woman thought Tom Hanks was dead and moved on and then had to choose between them. Whoopi said it is only when your relationship starts to go bad that you start looking elsewhere.
Elisabeth was angered by a billboard that had an American soldier with the phrase “Generation Kill” on it, to advertise an HBO special by that name, which follows an embedded reporter in Iraq. It bothered her to see the soldier’s face next to those words because it creates an improper image in someone’s face. She said it is allowed under free speech, but it does not mean that it should be done. Whoopi said she has seen an episode of the show and it is not disrespectful to soldiers. Joy said that she saw a billboard “Please Don’t Vote for a Democrat” with a photo of the World Trade Center after an airplane had crashed into it. Elisabeth said it is abusing a soft spot and is inappropriate. Joy said it is un-American.
Neil Patrick Harris, from How I Met Your Mother, appeared on the show. (Video of the interview with Neil Patrick Harris is here) He was recently nominated for an Emmy for his role on that show. He gave Whoopi a long hug. They were in Clara’s Heart together in 1988 (I loved that movie) and Neil said that Whoopi “popped my theatrical cherry.” Whoopi was really a great role model for him and explained to him how film making worked. When Sherri asked him a question, he told her that her booty looks good.
Neil was one of the people who announced the Emmy nominations and he thought it was a good sign that he would be nominated. He said it so subjective and there are a lot of people who are deserving. He is honored to be nominated. He thought Britney Spears was “fun” and “good” when she guest-starred on his show. He said she was a bit out of her element, but it was good to have her turn over a new leaf. He said he has never been around someone who gets so much attention from the media without even seeking it.
Neil also appears online as Dr. Horrible in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. When the show premiered, it crashed the server due to its popularity. It was filmed in just six days during the writer’s strike when creator Joss Whedon wanted to reinvent the wheel and do an online show. He said it was “an absolute ball” to do it. Elisabeth asked if there will be a sequel and he said that they want to do all sorts of things, but everyone is kind of busy now. He said he would do it forever. You can get the show on iTunes and they will be releasing a DVD version soon, which will have commentary tracks, including a musical commentary track.
Dr. Gadget was back with “Summertime Gadgets.” Here is what he talked about:
* Magellan Maestro 4250 with voice activated GPS
* Philips Dual Portable DVD Player
* Polaroid Pogo Instant Mobile Printer
* Coleman Roadtrip Grill LXE that is portable
* Kelsyus Deluxe Portable Hammock (Barbara’s book Audition was in the book pocket of the hammock)
In the next segment, Chef Tyler Florence tried to teach Sherri to cook in a segment called “Sherri Can’t Cook.” (Creative title!) He showed her how to make spaghetti and meatballs from scratch. He recommends San Marzano canned tomatoes. He commented on her booty while she was smashing the tomatoes. She said the tomatoes were like her husband’s brains and then accidentally splashed some on her shirt. She had Bill Geddie bring her a towel to wipe her hands and she hugged him to transfer the tomatoes from her shirt to his. She said she hoped she still had her job. There were some “getting dirty” and “balls” double entendres. Then they cut fresh pasta using an attachment on the Kitchen Aid. Of course Whoopi came out and the end to have a meatball. I guess that is becoming a thing now where she has to come out for the food segments even when she isn’t part of the segment.

I dedicate this to the ladies of Watching The View. I’ve taken time to recompose Ray Steven’s lyrics to “The Streak” for your reading pleasure. Elisabeth, this one’s for you.
The SHRIEK
Hello everybody, this is your View news reporter
With all the news that is news across the nation
On the stage at The View
There seems to have been some disturbance here
Pardon me sir, did you see what happened?
”Yeh, I did…I was standing over…”
LET ME FINISH! Where’s my close-up?
Hand me some gloss? Talking cards? GOP FACs?
Commence eye roll…I said LET ME FINISH Joy!
It was too late, commercial break…
[Chorus:]
Here she comes, boogie-dy, boogie-dy
There she goes, boogie-dy, boogie-dy
And she ain’t no Hannity clone!
Oh yes, they call her the shriek
Fastest mouth on two feet
She’s just as proud as she can be
Of her anatomy
She’s a Republican freak
Oh yes, they call her the shriek
She likes to show off her physique
If there’s an audience to be found
She’ll be shriekin’ around
Invitin’ public critique…
This is your View news reporter once again
And we’re here in the greenroom
Pardon me sir, did you see what happened?
”Yeh, I did…I was just in here gettin’…”
LET ME FINISH!
Barbara! You let her speak, she did it too!
But it’s ON THE CARD!
Don’t call me a coward, Dahmer ate peanut butter sandwiches!
That is so 2007…LET ME FINISH Whoopi!
It was too late…commercial break
Check your blood pressure, call Winnie
[Chorus]
She is rude, lookit-me, lookit-me
She is lewd, lookit-me, lookit-me
She puts me in the mood to shut off The View
Oh yes, they call her the shriek
She likes to act apple-cheek
She’s always making the news
And she’s makin’ me spew
Guess you could call her unique…
Once again, your View news reporter live on the lap of Bill Geddie
Covering the disturbance backstage at The View
Pardon me sir, did you see what happened?
”Yeh, I did…I was just going down…”
LET ME FINISH! I’m very emotional right now.
I’m too tired to screw. McCain would know what to do!
Tim’s a NFL Quaterback (who knew?)
I was a Survivor Sweetheart! I think I weighted 90 pounds.
Had to pinch my ear to survive. My milk is coming back in!
Who would like to take a drink? Do you take cream with your tea?
Made the cover of Fitness Magazine, I ain’t no Hannity queen.
Rosie’s obsessed with me…cause I can squeeze in these jeans.
And Sherri, get your hand off my knee!
LET ME FINISH! But it was too late, commercial break.
Elisabeth, you shameless hussy
July 25th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Kelly, that post was PRICELESS!!! *lol* - thanks for that!!
July 25th, 2008 at 10:15 am
You’re so welcome.
July 25th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Kelly, I loved, love, loved it!!
I’d also love to know how Winnie gets her recaps up so fast.
July 25th, 2008 at 11:17 am
I have one small request. Whoppie if your reading this…PLEASE stop using that valley girl voice. It was just to much today!
July 25th, 2008 at 11:17 am
That was great, Kelly! Good job.
The recap sounds good. In reading, Neil Patrick Harris comes off as a fun guy. Maybe I’ll tune in to watch.
July 25th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Ugh. Just read SweetLaydy’s response. I gotta agree, that Valley Girl voice is dumb. It’s time to find a new joke, or whatever it is. Wasn’t she doing it in the 80’s? It’s not cute, it’s not funny, STOP IT.
July 25th, 2008 at 11:49 am
That grill sure didn’t look like it was 200+ square feet. Neither whoopi or eh batted an eye.
Quote of the day-
“The two most popular Americans in Germany are David Hasselhoff and Obama. In that order.”
July 25th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
whoopi always rags on Sherri for doing her voice impressions but Whoopi has her stupid valley girl voice. Pot meet kettle.
July 25th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Joy and her “un-American” comment. She sounded like a Republican.
July 25th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Kelly, You are indeed a great poet! Edgar Allen watch out! Thanks so much because I agree with each and every word! I couldn’t watch much of the show today cause EH was in her “watch me” mode..opinions galore..she has GOT to show her a&# whenever a guest is trying to show a new or interesting product…”why don’t I roll the grill around on the stage and act like a three year old pulling a wagon” must have popped into her twit recesses of a brain today. Had to switch to Animal Planet…enough already!
July 25th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
A “Don’t vote for a Democrat” billboard with one of the twin towers being hit? I’m not an American, but didn’t 9/11 happen when the Republicans were in power?
Quote of the day-
“Dumb and dumber reality ’stars’ Heidi and Spencer are voting for The Republicans this election”
Isn’t that just so precious? ^-^

Kelly– That was hilarious!! I loved it. I remember that song.
July 25th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Thanks for the recap Winnie,
I didn’t see the first 15 min., but doesn’t sound like i missed that much.
I like Neil and it was nice to see him. I also liked the Sherri Can’t Cook segment.
# 1, Kelly.
Very good!
Made me laugh, even though I do like E.H. somewhat.
# 10 Lopez,
Not to disagree,
but “to me” Joy didn’t sound like a Republican, or a Democrat, to me, she sounded like an American.
July 25th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Of course, because despite previous assertions you are a Republican at heart.
July 25th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Lynn, Stacee, May, misslingdow, Sandy:
Thank You! I thought we could all use a good laugh! Thanks Winnie for a great site - and my hat off to the ladies of WTV.
July 25th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Kelly,
You’re very creative. I had to go look the song up on youtube, I’ve never heard it before.
Here’s the song:

# 16 Lopez,
Actually my “heart” doesn’t feel, or beat along any party line, Republican or Democrat. Hundreds of “both” I love, like, admire and respect.
July 25th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Oh cool rainlillie…thanks. I only hear the song at Karaoke these days!!!
July 25th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
I think Joy was pretty much saying that images of 911 shouldn’t be used in political ads. I agree with her on that. 911 cut across party lines.
The people that died in the attacks were from every gender, race, political party and religion. Bin Laden’s goal was to kill Americans not republicans or democrats.
July 25th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Great song, Kelly.
July 25th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
That was really clever Kelly lol. Thanks for sharing that with us all! I had to look up the original song too, (thanks for the link Rain).
July 25th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Honestly, this site should change its name to “Elisabeth Hasselbeck Sucks”, you know just like that crazy Rachael Ray Sucks site on livejournal.
Actually, I appreciate Winnie’s recaps very much, but whenever I come here to catch up on The View I see the same old, tired, repetitive, predictable, EH-bashing remarks every time.
Speaking of predictable, I’m sure the familiar names will now pop up in the comments and shriek, “OMG, you must be a REPUBLICAN!” Not that most of you would believe me, but I’m not, and more importantly (and relevant to this blog), I do not agree with EH on most issues.
I know for a fact that I am far from the only reader here who has long grown tired of the vitriol routinely espoused in the comments here - both against EH and against any reader who dare complain about the constant EH attacks. However, most sit silently and refrain from commenting on it lest they be attacked also, as is so often done here.
Seriously, there are several regulars here who should start an “EH Sucks” blog because it seems they only want to post about how horrible EH is all day long. You can be like the RRSucks people and post about every little annoying breath that EH takes.
Yes, launch all the attacks you’d like to in response, because I won’t be back to read them. In the future, should I wish to read an episode recap I will read only the recap and leave before I get to the comment section.
July 26th, 2008 at 1:53 am
Ok the newness of the relationship is amazing.. its not neccearrily due to love.. but the newness is awesome.. Some peeps are additcted to it.. its crazy.. its why peeps divorce.. and peeps sleep around looking for more than love. Some peeps need more than the same ol’. All I know I cant be inlove with 2 peeps wanting to know where the friggin ketchup is in the fridge at the same friggin time!!!
I’m just saying…
July 26th, 2008 at 2:05 am
Generation Kill only demonstates how we prepare our troop for war. Its a fact. The troops cannot do what they do if they are not fired up to do what they do. It is what it is.. regardless of the peeps who want to play it down.. on the other hand.. I LOVED CLARAS HEART!! That movie really moved me.. ok can you tell I am now wathing the show?? LOL
I;m Just saying….
July 26th, 2008 at 5:53 am
That Tyler Florence is so cute. I love his cooking shows and they had to stick him with that imbecile Sherri. Why are they constantly putting her in food segments? Her lack of knowledge astounds me, the way she handles food is absolutely disgusting and the way she shoves it into her mouth, oh yeah, that’s supposed to be funny…watching a grown woman licking raw tomatoes off of her hands, wrapping homemade pasta around her neck, and then taking her tomato soaked hands and using Bills shirt as a napkin is not my idea of entertainment. If I want to see a clown show I will go the circus.
Of course she then screamed how she thinks she still has a job. @@
July 26th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Kelly, that was a great poem. You really nailed EH’s persona.
I read Whoopie’s valley girl voice as a subtle way to mock EH’s goody 2 shoe baloney. (e.g. …..because we all love each other)
EH just doesn’t shut up when other people are talking. She sure knows how to throw herself in front of the cameras. She seems to have escalated. I wonder if it is nervousness that her husband is unemployed and the burden of financial support is on her
back. She seems to be appearing everywhere to promote herself.
July 26th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Kit Kat, I’ve always felt that the valley girl voice is mocking EH also, since she’s the only other one that acts/talks that way. I find it amusing. As much as I do like Sherri’s antics, her food actions can get disgusting and her constant rubbing of EH’s knees when she opens her glistening mouth and gets herself in hot H2O is irritating. Joy, I still wish you would talk more…hope they act like they’ve grown up a bit when Speaker of the House Nancy comes on next week…gadzooks, last time she was on most of the hosts acted the fool.
July 26th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Kit Kat, ShannonP and berndoubt! Wouldn’t it be great if Rosie produced The Shriek music video for her new variety show…and then responded to EH’s numerous calls to the studio by putting the video on loop? Too funny. But Rosie would never embarass poor, sweet, pure, Christian, conservative Elisabeth.
July 26th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Kelly,
Very impressed and entertained.
Rosie’s blog is on a break. I hope others sent it to her.
Hope you have others in mind therapeutic for all.
July 27th, 2008 at 9:26 am
KitKat, good observation about EH and her increasingly obnoxious behaviour and need to be the centre of attention and promote herself everywhere. It could very well be with Tim Hasselbeck now officially unemployed (July 22 was the deadline for another team to pick him up, no one was interested) is the sole breadwinner. If she loses her job they would lose their $3.5 million condo and probably have to borrow money from Tim’s ultra-successful brother Matt Hasselbeck.
EH really needs to CALM DOWN. She is not doing her reputation and career any favors by being so obnoxious.
July 27th, 2008 at 9:37 am
There is a scary rumour going around that the New England Patriots are looking for an “older” quarterback to back up their star, starting quarterback Tom Brady. Apparently the Patriots have 2-3 very young QBs on their roster but are worried they need at least one older more experienced QB in case Brady is injured. Well, about 4-5 free agents and other unemployed QBs were mentioned and Tim Hasselbeck was one of them. I hope to hell he is not given a job by the Patriots. We will never hear the end of it from EH and she will put herself in the same category as Giselle Bunchden (sp?) the girlfriend of Tom Brady. If Hasselbeck is going to get picked up to warm another team’s bench this year, I hope it is on the west coast and EH is forced to take time off to be with him. Lord knows she can’t trust him to be alone and far way with so many nubile cheerleaders close at hand.
July 27th, 2008 at 11:42 am
Hi again, well I am getting quite obsessed with understanding why EH is always trying to coverup about her husband’s career (or lack thereof) and never telling guests that she is NOT married to Matt Hasselbeck (Tim’s very successful brother who is quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks).
Anyway, was doing some research and found out that Matt is married and has three kids. No big deal right? But get this!! Matt married a star athelete at Boston College named Sarah Egnaczyk. She was an award-winning star of BC’s Women’s Field Hockey team. She is blonde and quite attractive as well. See this profile: http://bceagles.cstv.com/genrel/hasselbeck_sarahegnaczyk00.html
Matt is 2-3 years older than Tim. And Sarah was at Boston College in the late 1990s, so a few year behind Elisabeth Filarski.
So how sick is this!! Little brother Tim Hasselbeck not only tried (and failed) to follow his big brother into the NFL. But he found it necessary to also marry a fellow Boston College female athelete. I am SO not surprised that Tim and EH have problems with sex and marriage. So weird.
So it doesn’t end there. After I found Sarah’s profile on a Boston College female atheletes website, I saw they also had a section for softball. Its amazing, they have detailed statistics for each year of the woman’s softball taem going back to 1997.
So I searched all the player lists and stats for 1997 thru 2003. I believe EH graduated in 2000. And you know what? Her name doesn’t appear in any of the team lists or in any of the stats. Now I’m really confused. Was she really a star on the Boston College female softball team or was she on some “B” team like her husband, was she on the team but then was cut, or did she make the whole thing up?
This just gets more creepy and more mysterious.
July 27th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
ummmm Whoopie…the 80s called, they want their valley girl voice back !! God, get a NEW JOKE Whoopie….pathetic !!
July 27th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
It is not all made up, Sunny. There is a quick reference to her in this article, which mentions she was a tri-captain:
http://bceagles.cstv.com/sports/w-softbl/spec-rel/032498aaa.html
(under her maiden name of Filarski)
July 27th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Thank you Winnie for the quick reference to EH softball career. Whew, I was finally able to come out of hiding from all the anti-EH bashing.
July 28th, 2008 at 12:11 am
My husband and I just spent an hour driving around singing 60’s- 80’s songs at the top of our lungs. Life is good. Good night all.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:57 am
Winnie
You must have dug-deep to finally find one reference to Elisabeth Filarski being on the Boston College (Boston Eagles) softball team. Here’ the thing: what is a “tri captain”, I have never heard of a team having three captains? How come in all the stats available on Boston Eagles women’s softaball - which provides really comprehensive data on each season going back to 1998 - Elisabeth Filarski is not mentioned in any roster of the team, in any stats, etc. Others on her team are written about extensively and consistently appear in the team list and stats. It is REALLY WEIRD???
Most creepy though is my discovery (expose?!!) that the uber-successful brother Matt Hasselbeck married a real Boston College female athelete superstar (Sarah Egnaczyk) two years before Timbo hooked up with bench-warmer Elisabeth Filarski.
Tim has tried to follow his brothers success in the NFL and failed miserably.
And if you go to Matt’s own website (www.matthasselbeck.com) you can find pictures of Matt and Sarah’s kids: 2 girls and a boy who are ABSOLUTELY GOREGEOUS.
Man, Hasselbeck family holiday dinners and reunions must be TENSE. Elisabeth would be all kinds of jealous of Sarah. Sarah was a true ttar athelete winning many awards, including Boston College female athelete of the year. Sarah married the successful Hasselbeck brother and lives a life of luxury (we’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars earned by Matt in salary and endorsement) and she has beautiful kids including two beautiful little girls who look like her (not tow-headed fuglies like Grace who looks like her big headed father).
What a joke. Elisabeth is such a fake. She copies faux news talking points just like she tried to copy Sarah’s life of bliss married to a REAL NFL quarterback.
No wonder EH is so nasty and mean.
July 28th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Well, well, well, well, well. Sunny – so interesting and yet disturbing. I think I’m getting a better picture of what we are being subjected to. I’ve always had great disdain for people with an over-inflated sense of self, self-entitlement and delusions of grandeur. But that personality type is so much more tolerable when that person’s achievements support their claims. We all know EH has an insatiable ego and (by her own admission) deadly, competitive primal instincts. In this case, accomplishments and lifestyle are so grossly exaggerated they cross the line of truth. Her Christian and family values are secondary to her need to succeed. When she cloaks herself in these good old-fashioned conservative beliefs, it serves as a very effective critic repellant: You can’t successfully challenge love, faith, and children. These Megalomaniacs always seem to get what they seek, rarely care when they are exposed as frauds, and always seem to have a dedicated fan base of star-struck believers (I’m not referring to anyone on this site). I have a deep desire to see her removed from any and all television programming. And I would relish the opportunity to hear what sister-in-law Sarah would have to say on the subject. I hope Sarah will post anonymously here on Watching The View.
Is it possible EH has bought into her own hype, and become so engaged in one-upping her in-laws that she has lost touch with reality? Isn’t that her world? Select, sheltered and self-centered. And that is exactly why she is so grossly unqualified for the co-host seat. She was not captain, but tri-captain, not host, but quint-host, not Survivor champion, but cast-off, not fashionista success, but fashion-flop. Sunny, I think you’ve revealed her ugly dark secret.
Is it possible Boston College removed EH from their site? Is she even listed as notable alum?
I actually feel some sympathy for Tim who was raised with a successful older brother and a strongly opinionated father. I can see why EH was drawn to her father-in-law’s political beliefs: Her own parents practiced political autonomy in there home, allowing EH to come to her own conclusions based on her own experiences. But her parents’ selfless acts were lost on super shallow EH who quickly bought into her father-in-law’s elitism…lock, stock and barrel. As much as EH boasts about her husband, children, and in-laws, I find it interesting she doesn’t brag about her own family – or her own brother? Anyone know about him?
Her support of McCain is my biggest concern. I don’t believe victory in Iraq is possible, at any cost, by anyone’s definition of success. We all remember how she stumped for Bush ad nauseam. Where is America now? Recession. War. Civil Unrest. Healthcare Crisis. Depleted Middle Class. Failed Foreign Relations. Mortgage Collapse. Crippling Unemployment. Insurmountable Debt.
Suppose you were wrong about Bush Elisabeth? Suppose you might be wrong about McCain?
July 29th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Sunny, thanks for the input on Tim…..hope to God he doesn’t join the NE Patriots. I live in NE.
Good take Sunny & Kelly on EH. I can imagine she is the sister-in-law from hell!
July 29th, 2008 at 11:40 am
