History: Debbie Matenopoulos was the original "youth-oriented" host; she left the show in 1999 to pursue other opportunities. After a long nationwide search, her seat at the "View" table was filled by "Channel One" reporter Lisa Ling. Ling subsequently left in 2002, and another search was under way. The winner? Elizabeth Hasselbeck, a former sneaker designer and contestant on CBS' "Survivor: The Australian Outback." In 2006, Vieira left "The View" to take over for Katie Couric on NBC's "Today" show, and was replaced by former talk show host/comedian/actress Rosie O'Donnell, who left in June 2007 after she and the producers could not agree on contract terms.
