The View paid tribute today to the late Bill Geddie, the show’s co-creator with Barbara Walters and longtime executive producer who died July 20 of coronary issues.
In addition to clips featuring Geddie’s usually comic appearances on the show, View moderator Whoopi Goldberg and current and past panelists remembered their old boss with affection and candor.
“He was 68 years old, really cranky and really funny,” Goldberg said at the start of the segment.

Both Goldberg and former co-host Sherri Shepherd recalled how Geddie offered words of support and encouragement during times of controversy and backlash.
For Shepherd, the controversy came early in her View tenure when, in 2007, she suggested she didn’t know if the earth was round or flat. “I’ve never thought about it.” Shepherd said at the time, but today said that after the episode, she told Geddie she knew the earth was round and wanted to clarify her statement. “Bill said, ‘No! This is ratings, baby!'”
Geddie, Shepherd said, advised her that “if we apologize for everything this would be called The Apology Show. It’s called The View.“
Goldberg noted that she received Geddie’s support during two particularly difficult times: The first, in 2007, when she defended football player Michael Vick for participating in illegal dogfighting; and the second, in 2022, when she was suspended from the show for two weeks (she had said the Holocaust was “not about race”; she later apologized).
“I was asked to stay off for a week or two,” Goldberg said today without going into detail on the incident, “and Bill wrote to me and said, ‘You know, this is the nature of this show, that’s why we brought you in. We’re paying you to give your opinion.'”
