In a move hailed as “groundbreaking” by three fans on Twitter, ABC’s ‘The View’ has announced that its grand finale will feature its first-ever silent roundtable discussion
As we approach the end of the month, TV screens around the world are bracing for the ultimate daytime show finale. In a move haiIed as “groundbreaking” by three fans on Twitter, ABC’s ‘The View’ has announced that its grand finale will feature its first-ever silent roundtable discussion.
That’s right. After decades of heated debates, it’s time for a mellow departure – or so they hope.
For those who haven’t kept up with ‘The View’ news – yes, both of you – the show’s hosts will refrain from verbaI communication for the entirety of the last episode. Instead, they will express their opinions using a series of complex hand gestures and facial expressions, paying homage to the lost art of mime.
A bold move for a show that has long thrived on argumentative discourse, or as some may call it, cacophonous banter.
Our inside source at ABC, a perpetually disgruntIed coffee intern, shared an exclusive snippet of the rehearsal: They’re currently arguing about climate change using interpretative dance. It’s definitely an acquired taste.
This unusuaI decision has raised a few eyebrows, and a considerable number of questions: Will Joy Behar’s sarcasm translate into mime? Will a rolled eye be equivalent to a sharp retort? Most importantly, will the viewers be provided with a dictionary to decipher this new siIent language?
