As Elisabeth and Tim Hasselbeck have retained steady employment in the media trade, it’s no secret that the former co-host of “The View” has been far more visible and animated, with no shortage of those anecdotes available for viewing online. Her biggest moments on the show include her dust-up with Rosie O’Donnell over the Iraq war, teetering on the brink of a gay marriage discussion with singer Melissa Etheridge, and jousting with Barbara Walters over the morning-after pill (which produced some backstage drama, too).

Despite a return to “The View” as a guest host in 2022 when she locked horns with colleagues due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Elisabeth hasn’t been a regular on TV for years. Tim remains employed at ESPN. Still, he’s struggled to remain diplomatic, such as the time when he dumped on his Boston College alma mater for their poor play in 2018. “As a former player, and somebody who likes to see that place do well, that’s hard to hear,” he said on radio station WEEI (per Fansided). While Elisabeth freely admits to flying off the handle, she seems to be in awe as to how her husband retains a more reserved demeanor. “You’re mindful, and you’re thoughtful, and you’re not quick to make a decision,” said Elisabeth to Tim on “That Sounds Fun.” “Whereas I’m so unafraid of failure that, like, I will just spit it out and get it wrong, and then I’m trying to mop it up after.”
