(Secretly Fired) Lisa Ling Returning to The View

Journalist Lisa Ling is returning to her old stomping grounds on The View as a guest co-host on Oct. 5 and 6. Lisa says she’s ready to jump back into things with her pals Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd, while Elisabeth Hasselbeck is on maternity leave.

“I’m thrilled to be mixing it up with the women again. I’m hoping that some serious debate ensues,” said Lisa in a statement issued by The View on Thursday.

This summer, Lisa went through a scary ordeal, after sister Laura Ling was detained in North Korea. She was finally released and reunited with her sister on Aug. 5. Lisa is also correspondent for The Oprah Winfrey Show.

I wonder what kinds of crap pop culture would shit out if Paris Hilton was detained then released later. Or Speidi....

I like her and her documentaries on National Geographic are really interesting. I'm intrigued to hear more about her sister's ordeal in NKorea too

omg yay! i wish all the past hosts would come back for a big roundtable discussion. 'twould be entertaining.

that bitch is pregnant AGAIN?

that's how many? like 5?

i think you're confusing her with kelly ripa?

I love her!

lisa or elisabeth? lisa or elisabeth? such a tough decision.

oh dude i was totally being sarcastic, of course i'd choose lisa.

Lisa all da way.

bitch, what YOU smokin? Lisa all the way! not because she isn't conservative, but because she knows WHAT THE FUCK SHE'S TALKING ABOUT

i wasn't being serious, of course i'd choose lisa.

I loved her on the view, but I really don't care for her post-view stuff :\

idk, I will always have a spot in my heart for meredith

I love Meredith too, but I'm happy she's on the Today show. It's a great way to wake up every morning lol

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOREVER

PS Who remembers when she kissed Meredith after the 2003 VMAs?

I'd rather be detained in a North Korean prison camp than deal with those bitches.

I feel like stanning for her. I think stanning for someone would be fun.

mindofthebeheld

I seriously doubt it considering she's working with a rival network now.

LING LING YOU FORGOT YOUR BLING BLING

i stopped watching the view after she left. i love her and her sister's work.

did anyone else have to watch that channel one news crap during homeroom in school?
i want to say she was a news reporter on it..

i would have loved to see her and Elizabeth on the same table during hot topics. Lisa would school her in how to put together an effective argument without the whine.

The View is SO much more tolerable with out Hasslebeck.

I remember watching her on Channel 1 in high school during the mornings.

Oh, I liked her on The View. She's pretty.

If you could pick The View panel, who would it include? Mine would definitely have:

1. Lisa Ling
2. Aisha Tyler

You know... smart people.

I only knew Aisha as that chick that used to be on CSI and then I watched her intervew with Chelsea Handler. She came off so funny and nice that I immediately started to like her.

Hmm, a version of The View actually worth watching? I definitely agree with your picks, and if it isn't too controversial to have two Asians, I'd add Margaret Cho.

omg i wish it would be forever.

get rid of the fuckery that is everyone else but whoopi and joy.

I remember watching her on Channel One in school back in the early 90's.

hell yeah, lol, i just commented abt that

i saw her in this bar once, she is really tiny in person

does anyone remember lisa ling from channel 1 in HS or middle school?!
and anderson cooper too!

She was and is way too good for The View, but this should be interesting.

I hate it when I inadvertently reiterate myself.

i remember her from channel one news in high school. channel one = free period/copy someone's homework before the teacher checked it

Channel One was only on for about 15 minutes and we still had to do something for the rest of the class period.

Wait, Lisa Ling and Laura Ling aren't the same people? This is as confusing when I thought she was the same person as Lucy Lui :/
