Surviving through reruns

The View is on hiatus during the weeks of June 25th, July 2nd, August 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th. Which basically means 2 weeks off, 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off. Still a week and a half to go. Too bad they missed out on the whole Paris-gets-released thing. Here's a couple of interesting clips that recently appeared on Access Hollywood to help tide us over:


Clip 1: Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira and Star Jones after learning Rosie would not be renewing her contract with The View. [I'm sure Star must have smiled to herself at some point considering how things played out.]


Clip 2: Elisabeth's input on the potential replacement co-host candidates. [And who will be replacing Elizabeth while she's on maternity leave? Is that Star Parker on the line? Don't answer, don't answer!]
