Meredith Vieira was a great moderator on “The View,” a role she filled for the show’s first nine seasons, and she has been equally as effective in most of her other gigs, including “West 57th,” “60 Minutes,” “Turning Point,” “Today,” and “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” But like most of us, Vieira does not win them all. Case in point: “The Meredith Vieira Show,” her 2014 daytime talk show. It lasted only two seasons, with ratings that steadily declined throughout its run. “I am so sorry to see our show come to an end after this season, but I am also incredibly proud of the work our staff has done and forever grateful to our supportive viewers,” Vieira said in a statement at the time, per TVLine.
According to Deadline, while “The Meredith Vieira Show” premiered to high ratings, the format was changed for Season 2 — it became live and panelists were brought on — to accommodate the downward trend. “I’m excited to be returning live for our second season — uncut and unfiltered, anything can happen,” Vieira told The Wrap. After the show’s cancellation, Vieira continued to work as a host, with projects such as the PBS miniseries “The Great American Read” and the game show “25 Words or Less.” She still works as a journalist too, appearing on various programs on the NBC News banner from time to time.
