EXCLUSIVE
TV producer Bill Geddie out at Tamron Hall’s talk show

.... Geddie — who, alongside Barbara Walters, helped build the “The View” into the behemoth it is today — had been the executive producer of Hall’s show since it premiered in September.

But an insider spilled, “He hasn’t been there since the holiday break and they stopped speaking around the fall.” Added another, “He has not been involved in the day-to-day runnings since October.”

Multiple sources told us Geddie and Hall often didn’t see eye to eye, but the breaking point came was when Geddie wanted to pursue an interview with Bill O’Reilly.

“He had this idea for her to have Bill O’Reilly on the show because he thought he would be good for ratings and Tamron would only do it if she could press him about his sexual harassment allegations,” said the insider. “And they were definitely not in agreement on that. She refused, and the two never recovered after that.”

Meanwhile, Hall has been breathing new life into the show while production is halted amid the coronavirus outbreak. A press release went out last week, announcing that the “View’s” executive producer Candi Carter would be leaving to join Hall’s show as a showrunner and Emmy winning co-EP Talia Parkinson-Jones announced her exit. Carter is replacing Geddie. ....

1. I liked her better as a serious news personality or as part of an ensemble.

Admittedly I've not seen a lot of her show, but it seems to be pushing toward the unusual (bizarre?) and sensational too often-- like the predecessors of the genre in the past decades. She is personable but it seems as though she is trying too hard with the freneticism.

2. I've never seen her show, never saw her before, just knew her name/face, but

anybody who stands up to a wingnut and gets rid of him is fine with me!1

3. Oh, I agree for sure.

4. Pretty sure Rosie O'Donnell will have something to say about Geddie.

She hates him.
