What They’re Saying:
- In her remarks, Chung says: “Barbara Walters revolutionized the face of Daytime television with her groundbreaking show The View. Barbara was the creator, the producer, the star – the engine behind it. And this was on top of her pioneering career in news and interviews. She was the icon who paved the way for all women in television news, especially me. She mom-ed me. And although they would never admit it, she taught the men a thing or two, I can’t fathom she is gone. We remember her and all the others who passed, for their contributions to television.”
