The View's 25th Anniversary Reunion Was Remarkably Bad

It was a week of unfulfilled promises on The View as the show delivered a half-baked 25th anniversary celebration and an “epic announcement” that proved to be... well, not so epic. In this episode of The View in Review, we discuss the original co-hosts’ reunion, Tara Setmayer’s return to the table, the ladies’ upcoming trip to the Bahamas, and more.
