NEW YORK (TBJ) — The King has finally made a decision.
LeBron James is joining “The View.”
Barbara Walters, creator/executive producer and co-host of ABC’s award-winning morning talk and entertainment show, said Tuesday they intend to sign James to a contract later this week when the free agent moratorium period ends.
James will debut on “The View” on September 4 (11:00 a.m.–12:00 noon, ET), the start of the show’s fourteenth season.
“I have known LeBron for years. He is brilliant, funny and irrepressible, and is an enormously popular and talented star. We are delighted that he is going to join the program. This is going to be a great new chapter for ‘The View,’” said Ms. Walters.
“I’m really glad to be doing ‘The View.’ It’s a show I like with people I like, and I’m looking forward to it,” said James. “If this doesn’t make me sport’s first billionaire athlete, nothing will.”
“The View” features ABC News correspondent Barbara Walters — who appears on average three days a week — moderator Whoopi Goldberg, comedian Joy Behar, designer and former “Survivor: The Australian Outback” participant Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and some other person. “The View” consists of hot topics in the news, the best experts in their field, celebrity interviews and general entertainment.
