Kathy Griffin was offered a spot on The View but decided to decline the opportunity. The comedian shared in a YouTube video that she turned down a $1.4 million offer to co-host the show, as it would require her to uproot her life in Los Angeles. Barbara Walters, who was not pleased with Griffin’s decision, had reportedly commented on the lack of chemistry between them. Despite acknowledging the show’s popularity and significance, Griffin explained that the role wasn’t feasible for her due to her existing commitments and family responsibilities. Ultimately, Rosie O’Donnell ended up joining The View in 2006.
