For the first time in history, a sitting president will appear on a daytime talk show. That’s right, folks. On Thursday morning, President Barack Hussein Obama will put himself squarely in the hot seat on the grill that is known as The View [ABC, 11/10C].
President Obama’s interview, scheduled to tape on Wednesday, July 28, will touch on topics including his administrations accomplishments, jobs, the economy, the Gulf oil spill and family life inside the White House.
On this auspicious occasion, View co-founder Barbara Walters will join the show’s regulars: Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Sherri Shepherd in the studio.
President Obama’s appearance is part of The View’s ongoing Red, White & View campaign, which is committed to political guests and discussions.
