Comedian Kathy Griffin recently revealed that she turned down a $1.4 million offer to become a permanent co-host on The View in the mid-2000s. In a YouTube video shared on June 17, Griffin opened up about her decision to reject the opportunity, which reportedly didn’t sit well with the late Barbara Walters.
According to People, before receiving the permanent position offer, Griffin had appeared as a guest co-host on The View approximately 27 times. During these appearances, she would regularly fly from Los Angeles to New York, and while she received payment for her appearances, she had to cover additional expenses such as wardrobe, hair, and makeup.
