Producers of ABC’s sputtering television talk show are currently in that scenario as ratings plunge and contentious talk show topics engender insincerity and discomfort. Nonetheless, many people involved in the show’s daily management are criticizing the hosts.

Hors de ouvre fluffer Joe Barron stated, “I was walking into the green room the other day, just working, you know.” And there was a disgusting, odorous blouse on the coat rack. When I went to throw it away, I was shocked to see that Joy Behar was there instead of a blouse! How come she’s still here?
