Barbara Walters To Tell All In Upcoming ABC Special

The cameras will be turned around when Barbara Walters becomes the subject, rather than the host, of an ABC special, according to the New York Post.

Walters, who was among the pioneers of celebrity interviews and regularly hosts "Barbara Walters Specials" around events like the Oscars or her "Most Fascinating People," recently penned a retrospective called Audition: A Memoir. According to the Post, the ABC show, which will air May 7 and is titled "Audition: Barbara Walters' Journey," will explore Walters' "three marriages, several serious romances with well-known celebrities and the difficulties she faced during her career as one of the first high-profile female news personalities."

The broadcast will be anchored by Charlie Gibson, who was widely panned for his performance hosting last night's debate.

I have no idea how she stayed on the air longer than one show. Was her father rich, did she marry someone powerful, it is special favors. This lady has no talent or personality or brains

[Bluedog12]

I am wreally excwited about a twell awll. Will it be on at twen or eweven?

[OpusIsUnderTheBed]

She's gonna tell all.

Don't listen.

[Alvin4NY]

Oh boy. They really made this sound appealing, didn't they? Does anyone have their Tivo set? Charlie Gibson....way to go dude. Nice press.

Wow. Barbara Walters looks beautiful in that picture. I always liked her. Just remember, some day you will all be older and then you'll remember what it feels like. We all get older foliks and hopefully wiser, and life goes on. When I read some of the comments below, I can only imagine that perhaps you feel this way about yourselves." It makes perfect sense. " Orphans.

Stay'in busy with a computer.

I mean no offense to the literal meaning of ' orpans" btw. I was just making a punn from the James Bond Movie Casino Royal - ala Agentlady007 1st post as herself. Ha! Hey Lady! No harm intended. Get it- ( You need to see the movie several times to get it. )

Barbara chose to shield Georgie and Charlie from the public this morning on The View, so I will not be watching any Barbara Walters specials, or the view ever again. It's a farce when you can't even admit on your own show that they f***** it up royally.

[OpusIsUnderTheBed]

Barbara.

Kiss kiss.

[unenrolled]

Yes Barbara is a Hillary Shill and now Elizabeth the repub. is shilling for Hill, lied about Obama and then dismissed it. To bad i like that show but no more.

[Alvin4NY]

Barbara is a Republican all the way....she wanted "Wudy" to win.

[Oldbuck]

Hope Old Charlie Gibson does a better job on Barbara's tell it all special than he did on the debate last night. I have always like her Specials she must have done something right to have lasted this long.

[hereitis]

Maybe she can explain why elizabeth is still on the view?

[SoYaThink]

MORE IMPORTANTLY . . . why is that d*mn Joy still there??? If it wasn't for Whoopi (the real voice of reason on that show - God, how she saved this show) I would not watch it all!

NBC - can't you give "The View" some competition in the LA market, please!!!!

"[Charlie Gibson was] widely panned for his performance hosting last night's debate."

With a link to the Obama-nuts rending their garments and a tiny thimble full of media critics.

This site and so many of its users have lost all perspective.

[marc1antony]

perhaps it is you who have lost yours - they did a disservice to both candidates no matter who you are for - it was a farce and just because you are on the other side - doesn't mean we have lost perspective.

Has tabloid journalism become the issues of a debate? Go watch E or TMZ if that's what you're looking for - some of us would like to know what is going to be done in regard to the economy and gas prices, jobs being shipped to foreign countries and health care.

She seems to be an attractive individual-- not all woman can sustain long, enduring relationships with men...

[Fritzi]

Who cares about this old dried up prune, Barbara Walters.

[sassafra]

just wait until you get old and need prunes *laughs*

[Wanjiru]

...who the f*ck cares about what this dinosaur has to say?...


...sheesh...retire already, just go away...

.

[thankulord13]

Is this how you people show respect for the elders in your life? Who cares what you have to say... you need to grow up and show some respect. I some times wonder about the audience that the Huffpost attracts....

[andyboy]

Charlie Gibson the hick and Baba Walters the trick. What a pair!

[provgrays]

She has gotten more mileage out of being a woman than any woman in the 20th and 21st century. Her gender has been her cover for decades of mediocrity. She's an insult to women, who deserve so much more.

[provgrays]

Walters does have excellent legs at least.

[LoRiseAntlers]

I really,really wanna know all about Bab's affair with young Winston Churchill....
