Senator Fred Thompson, Live, May 18; Musical Performance from Broadway’s “Million Dollar Quartet,” May 21
They say it’s a man’s world. Normally the hosts of ABC’s “The View” would strongly disagree, but they’ve collectively decided to entertain the idea for one week ONLY because the five men joining them at the “Hot Topics” table on MAY 17-21 are friends. So, for the first time in the 13-year-history of “The View,” five men will consecutively co-host “The View” (11:00 a.m.-12:00 noon, ET) on ABC.
Michael Douglas (“Solitary Man”), Senator Fred Thompson, (author, Teaching the Pig to Dance), Randy Jackson (“American Idol”), Johnny Galecki (“The Big Bang Theory”), Jorge Garcia (ABC’s “Lost”), “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano, Will Forte (“Mac Gruber”), Michael Emerson (ABC’s “Lost”), George Lopez (“Lopez Tonight”), Joan Lunden (author, Thanks Mom) and a musical performance from Broadway’s “Million Dollar Quartet” are featured throughout the week.
