“The View” is having another host problem. The ABC daytime talk fest has brought on a talent coach to work with its newest host, Abby Huntsman, because viewers just aren’t that into her, we hear.
“She’s been a snooze, and the network knows they made a mistake hiring her without a chemistry test and based on her name,” an insider told us.
Huntsman’s father is former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. He’s also US ambassador to Russia and was the ambassador to China under President Barack Obama.
“She’s starting to come alive. They have a coach working with her now because she’s not researching well with viewers,” the insider added.
“She hasn’t even been there half a season, and people are already placing bets that they’re going to oust her,” a TV insider told Page Six.
Another insider told us that Huntsman hasn’t been at the table long enough for viewers to connect. “There’s no research that’s been done at this point. She’s been on the show for five minutes. And meeting with a talent coach is par for the course. Each of the co-hosts have met with the coach at various times repeatedly. It’s just normal practice. It’s not a big deal,” the source said.
