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

Hasselback has the most anoying voice I have ever heard on TV. Its like when you watch her she is afraid she won't get enough air time so she throws out some lame, controvercial comment to get attention. She is a get in your face kind of person. Very aggressive. Not good.

[tasukibeth1]

Hasslebeck should have been both. There's no bigger turnoff than an idiot.

[Hagrid]

I don't get it.
Why is she on this program? She was in a reality show, married sports guy and that makes her authority on what??

Not an actor, not a musician and NOT a news person.

Is she blackmailing someone for this position??

[260Parkway]

Elizabeth as Donald Trump tagged her is one of the stupidest people on Earth. There are days I wonder why she's there. I guess it's for her Republican point of view because other than that she serves no purpose. She said something the other day about Jeffrey Dahmer and peanut butter and even her co-hose were like "What does that have to do with racisim and what we're talking about". Send her back to the wilderness please and bring back Lisa Ling.

[rzan]

Lisa Ling has too much class to be on this stupid show. She is well out of it.

[JennyG3]

I MISS Lisa Ling's true wit, and professionalism, but at least I see her w/ Oprah, and Nat Geo on ocasion, and that's a true upgrade.

[lawrencelugar]

Hasslebeck is a cute, wholesome - Fox

[wolfgangmo]

Yes, she is cute and wholesome - kind of like a baracuda.

[Hagrid]

FoxNews, you mean

[klmebane]

so your definition of wholesome is narrow minded and completely unable to see any point but her own?? or was that sarcasm.

[JohnFromCensornati]

Hell bells!
They could flip-flop and it would *still* be right!

[nutty4tahoe]

Can I get a big AMEN?? Elisabeth Hasselback has single-handedly turned off the most TV viewers since Howard Cosell and Rush Limbaugh (remember his aborted stint as a sports announcer because of his flapping lips?) Bahbwah, the owner of The View, has also lost my respect and she and Elisabeth can duke it out as to who is indeed the world's most boring interviewer. Please...can anyone stand to watch any of Bahbwah's "specials" any morer? IMO Elisabeth and her mentor, Bahbwah, both belong on the Bill Orally show or with any of those other talking heads on Fox. None of them could interview their way out of a wet paper bag.

[TimetoIMPEACH]

Get RID of her, already.

[SparXter]

Hassle Beck is an idiot!

[Hagrid]

. . . and his wife too!

[SouthernYankeeBelle]

I like both Ellen and Whoopi as interviewers. Both are funny and I like tunning into the View because of Whoopi and Joy. I love their dicussions. Ellen's show doesn't come on any more where I live. I live in the Bible belt and we have to have our 700 hundred club not only on Ellen's time slot but also on another channel at the same time. I am pretty upset about that. You can't believe the crap we have to listen to.

[happycat]

The 700 club? Ick! Poor you!

[MelFamy]

Pat Robertson is a demagogue, a liar, and a hypocrite, but you should listen to him on Mondays, when he does his investment seminars. For a man of the cloth, he is pretty durned smart about money. And if that isn't a left-handed compliment, I don't know what is.

Were people asked which TV host is most Muppet-like? I would vote for Tim Russert, but Larry King is also fantastically Muppet-esque. My 8 year old daughter loves him dearly, because, according to her, "he's weird, he's funny, he's really old ..." She hates to miss the show.

[OldKnute]

Muppet-like?

MUPPET.

Oh that is easy!

Hackleback,, erm,, HassleBACK is as hair-triggered as Miss Piggy, like when Kermit fell in love with Peggy Flemings eyes.

A tornado!

No, no, more of a volcano!!!!

Or like her ranting over Janet Jackson’s, 3 nanosecond Boobie-outing at the Super Bowl. I thought her head would explode like Beaker the lab technician, when the Professor’s experiments go wrong.

I mean, be real here.

Elizabeth, gets pregnant and we see, have her cradle and hear all about her boobs, from the second trimester, till the kid is in preschool.

Wait,,, wait,,, NO! Elizabeth is like the Chicken act, always clucking around but with no one paying much attention.

Hey, come to think of it, what kind of an act did those chickens have,,, anyway?

Kind-a like Hasselbeck, a mystery as to what she is doing there. Jjust a lot of clucking and flapping of wings with a hand up the backside making the mouth move.

The Chickens!

Larry King reminds me of Guy Smiley, the announcer/talk show host.

All the best

Elizabeth should also win for scariest, dumbest and worst dye job.

[rjean]

well gee happycat you think whoopster has better hair than elisabeth?????

[happycat]

Goodness no! I was referring to dye job not hair style. T

[Ramirez]

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is smart, articulate, and smoking hot!

[MalloMel]

She's also evil as hell. Satan would love to have her over for company. She'll be "smoking hot" for sure.

[chronic]

Yeh, shes just as intellectual as George Bush.

[Shaddup]

Spoken like a true Republican.

[rjean]

joy behar is a big mouth lib who doesnt know straight up
whoppi hasnt been too bad on the view...she at least tries to be HUMAN
babs is just old and dried up....
sherri is ok ....dumb but likeable
elisabeth is a breath of fresh air next to the rest of those old hags................

[leeme4liberty]

She is a FASCIST, plain and simple

[knosiswar]

She's MAYBE not the WORST, just the most MYOPIC.

[monsieurjac]

Shouldn't it be the other way around ?

[BongWater]

Fascinating.

Is this newsworthy too?
