Where The View’s Debbie Matenopoulos is now- from first FIRED co-host to beauty CEO and mom.

IN CELEBRATION of The View’s 25th anniversary, the original hosts of the TV talk show reunited recently to reminisce, including Debbie Matenopoulos.

Debbie was just 22 when she was tapped to be one of the talkers original hosts.

She is still the youngest person in daytime history to hold a permanent co-host position on network television, according to her personal biography.

During a previous appearance on The View, Debbie, now 47, recalled how she went to a going away party for a friend when a casting agent working with Barbara Walters asked her about being on a new show.

She said she met up with Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, and Joy Behar at the Essex House in New York City for an audition

The four women, along with show creator Barbara, became the original hosts of The View.

“What made me so stressed out?! I was 22, sitting next to Barbara Walters! Anybody would be stressed out,” said Debbie, adding: “I was very scared. I came out and pretended I wasn’t scared, but all those clips, I was petrified.”

Debbie was a student finishing up her journalism degree at New York University when she was discovered.

She was also interning at MTV.

“I was not ready to do anything except be working at MTV and going to clubs and concerts,” Debbie said in an episode of The View’s Behind the Table podcast.

In the August 11, 1997 premiere episode, Barbara introduced Debbie as “a 22-year-old just starting out.”

Earlier this year, Debbie reflected on her time at the table on the Allison Interviews podcast, admitting she was a fish out of water on the fledgling show.
