ELISABETH HASSELBECK
Co-host of ABC Television Network’s “The View”

In November 2003, Elisabeth Hasselbeck joined ABC's "The View" as a co-host. Unafraid to express her candid views, Elisabeth has proven herself as a woman who will not let her voice be compromised, while maintaining thoughtful conversation ranging from war to women's issues.

"The View," recipient of the 2003 Daytime Emmy® Award for "Outstanding Talk Show," is the original forum where real women discuss relevant, everyday issues and share their daily, no-holds-barred opinions and lively, colorful conversations. The program premiered in August 1997, and is broadcast live weekdays from New York City. In addition "The View" has received 24 Daytime Emmy Awards and has 11 consecutive nominations for Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Host for Elisabeth and her co-hosts. "The View" celebrated its 2000th Show on February 2, 2006 and is currently in its 12th season. On the show, Elisabeth has interviewed celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Madonna to politicians including Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator John McCain, former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and President Barack Obama.

In August 2004, Elisabeth spoke at the Republican National Convention, where she delivered a heartfelt speech that emphasized her continued effort in support of Breast Cancer prevention and research. In 2008 she joined the Presidential campaign and hit the trails in support of the Republican nominee, Senator John McCain.

In June 2004, Elisabeth ran through the streets of New York City carrying the official Olympic Torch in celebration of the Summer Games in Athens, Greece. In recent years she has worked with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Alzheimer's Association, Making Memories Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, The Wireless Amber Alert program Initiative, Autism Speaks and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness. Since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, Elisabeth has committed herself to raising awareness about the autoimmune disease. She is the author of "The G-Free Diet," released in May of 2009.

Previously Elisabeth exhibited her flair for fashion as host of the Style Network's "The Look for Less," where she helped viewers find designer styles at bargain prices. She has served as spokeperson and done commercial work for Reebok, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Bright Beginnings Infant Formula and Dreft. Elisabeth was formerly known to television audiences as a participant on the widely popular second edition of "Survivor: The Australian Outback." While competing in Australia, she used her competitive drive and survival skills to outwit, outplay and outlast her way to the final four.

Prior to working on-camera, Elisabeth designed shoes for PUMA. Currently she designs a women's apparel line for QVC: "Elisabeth Hasselbeck for Dialogue."

A 1999 Fine Arts graduate from Boston College, Elisabeth's focus was on large scale paintings and industrial design. While at B.C. she captained her Division-1 softball team to back-to-back Big East championships. In 1999 she completed the Boston Marathon. She has been honored with the Boston College Distinguished Alumni Award.

Elisabeth resides in New York City with her husband, Tim Hasselbeck, ESPN NFL Analyst and former NFL quarterback, and their children, Grace and Taylor. The couple is expecting their third child in August.
