Elisabeth Hasselbeck Voted "Worst Interviewer," Larry King "Least Sexy" In TV Hosts Poll

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is the worst interviewer on TV and Larry King is the least sexy television host, according to the results of an AOL TV poll.

The poll, which received 1.3 million votes, revealed Larry King was the overwhelming choice for "Least Sexy Host," with 54% of the vote (Whoopi Goldberg came in second with 25%). Elisabeth's "Worst Interviewer" win was a bit less decisive, with Tyra Banks and Dr. Phil coming in a close second and third. Elisabeth also led the "Which perky host makes you race for the mute button?" category.

Other results:

• Diane Sawyer is the morning show host respondents most like waking up with, and the host who would make the best President
  
• Ellen won handily for "Which daytime host makes your day?" and for "Who's the ideal dinner party guest?"
  
• More respondents go to bed with Leno than with Letterman
  
• Kelly Ripa was named the sexiest host and the snappiest dresser, and also won for best hair
  
• Oprah was named best interviewer
  
• Conan O'Brien narrowly beat out Jerry Springer in the worst hair category
  
• Whoopi Goldberg is the most in need of a fashion maker, though respondents believe she'd win in a brawl of "The View" hosts

She is another greedy rich b____, that doesn't want to pay the same percentage of her and hubbys football income that someone makeing 85,000 a year pays. Like most of the greedy rich, if they pay 10% on a million, they are pissed, "I had to pay 100,000 in taxes" But people in the 85,000 range, don't have any money left over to enjoy the wounderful loopholes provided to those with extra money left over each month, so they are closer to a 12-15% rate. Lets go flat - everyone pays 10% and quit arguing over it.

I love seeing Hasslebeck on TV. She's a daily reminder of how insipid and scatterbrained these neo-con Holy Rollers are.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is too young to be such a know-it-all! No wonder she is the only one on the View that has morning coaching sessions before going on the air. What an airhead! She has no vision or latitude........just her lily-white, perfect self! Yuck! What a phony!

As heinous as Elisabeth Hasselbeck is, as long as Bill O'Reilly is around she can never be the worst interviewer. So she's got that going for her. Which is nice.

Barbara Walter's is almost a wise as Arianna Huffington in that displaying Elizabeth, as your typical Republican, she's showing how idiotic and bigoted the Right Wind is. Pure genius!

Only neocons would incoherently babble like this. Maybe we should get little Elisabeth here to interpret the post by rjean.

For someone who regurgitates the official rubber-stamped litany of right-wing talking points daily, she's not even a halfway convincing bobblehead doll.

I would rather eat my left arm off than see Larry King naked.

That women is so narrow minded to be on such a controversial show. I feel like her view is as small as her annoying voice. The others have good things to say, and I am very pleased to see Whoopi replace Rosie, as Whoopi has learned her lesson from FCC fines in the past, whereas Rosie doesn't give a damn

She's the best thing on the View. The reason I say this is that she evokes such violent reactions from the other sane hosts. Otherwise it would be just a bunch of women sitting around chitchatting about nonsense. Anytime you want to physically harm someone on tv, they're doing a good job.

"Anytime you want to physically harm someone on tv, they're doing a good job."

I just wanted to see this part again. It is wisdom.

Kelly Ripa, sexiest host??????

Maybe if you can duct-tape her mouth shut for a while...

There have got to be a million people more qualified than that woman.

Poor Larry King. He's a lobber of softball questions and somewhat clueless, and lately he's slipping a bit. But this is an undeserved blow. Unfair too. Suspender are hot! (And he's a first-rate human being.)

This award should have gone to Hasselcrack!

Ha! I have wondered for years how Elizabeth ever got a job on The View. I cringe every time she opens her mouth and she is so disrespectful to guests by cutting them off, making rude comments, etc.

[JennyG3]

I completely agree! I've sent dozens of e-mails to the View's webmaster demanding ElizaBITCH show some curtesy, and respect to the guests, since she is incapable of letting her CO-HOSTS finish a sentence. I think she is the most idiotic, and moronic TV personality on network TV. I understand why though, because her idols are Pres. Bush, and Sean Hannity.

Look, it doesn't matter if Larry King is sexy or not. He's a conscientious liberal who's with us on the issues. That's what matters. And she's more than balanced by the other women on the panel who are with us, too. The world remains safe for Democrats.

People who make comments about empty brains should know how to spell the word "there" correctly.

that's kind of off the point. the english language is one of the most difficult language because of all the exceptions and words that sound the same but have different meanings. (also known as homonym) example: there, their, they're
