Elisabeth Hasselbeck has officially started at Fox News. To make the broadcaster feel more at home, her old The View co-host, Sherri Shepherd, made an appearance on the first show. Gretchen Carlson, however, made her exit, as the talking head will be given her own afternoon show.
By all accounts, Elisabeth’s first day at her new job was a tremendous success. Monday, September 16, saw Hasselbeck’s first appearance on the conservative news network.
Her old friend, Sherri Shepherd (you know...the woman who LITERALLY didn’t know the earth was round), decided to pay her a visit...and bring her a few gifts as well.
That wasn’t all she had to offer. Sherri also had some words of wisdom on how Fox and Friends co-hosts, Steve and Brian, could butter up the new addition:
"Always ask about her children. Always have anything gluten free on the set. [...] Always come to work with a smile. She loves a smile, she cares about people. She knows about your kid if their sick. She'll give you advice, she'll give you the shirt off of her back literally. [...] Always be really nice and kind and you've got a friend for life."
Shepherd’s words seemed heartfelt, but it’s still not clear if Hasselbeck truly chose to leave The View. Entertainment Weekly paints a different picture in a recent article, where they wrote:
“Whether she jumped or was pushed is still murky. Us Weekly reported on May 8 that Hasselbeck was being ousted from The View, which the show denied. Shine said he’s long admired Hasselbeck and said her move was triggered by running into Hasselbeck’s agent at a launch party for the Fox Sports 1 cable network, which took place March 5. Shine said he followed up a few days later by calling the agent and asking if Hasselbeck would be interested in working at Fox.”
Regardless of why she is there, Hasselbeck certainly makes a great addition to the team.
