Rosie compares The View casting to The Hunger Games
Quote:
Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s most favorite person in the whole wide world gave an interview to Variety
It was very much like the ‘Hunger Games,’ how they did it. I think Whoopi and I were both a little shocked at having to do a chemistry test. I don’t know if there’s a way to test that. It felt very negative and competitive.
I just pictured an intern from The View running up behind Rosie O’Donnell at Chico’s with a casual patterned scarf soaked in ether and pushing her into a white windowless van containing a confused Rosie Perez and Nicole Wallace. Cut to a group of ABC executives watching a closed circuit television feed from inside an abandoned Coldwater Creek outlet store as their potential candidates circle Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy like hungry sharks. All of a sudden, Whoopi’s voice can be heard over the PA announcing “Sherri, you in danger girl” as Rosie approaches her from behind with a shiv carved from the heel strap of a CROC clutched between her teeth while the other Rosie tries to distract Jenny by busting out some sweet dance moves.
All while Debbie Matenopoulos is outside banging her fists against the window screaming “I volunteer as tribute! I volunteer as tribute! Please take me back! I’ll do anything!“
