Apparently famed talk show host Barbara Walters is getting ready to step down from her throne. She reportedly told President Barack Obama that she's planning to retire next year, but really she kinda told the world because her mic was on and a whole crowd of people heard the news. Whoops!
TMZ jumped on the story, and reports she was interviewing Obama at the White House and during a break she leaned over and told him: "I need one more interview with you because I'm retiring next year."
Now, Walters is on The View, and her "Most Fascinating People" special aired last night, and she does the occasional special for ABC, so she'd be greatly missed if she does retire. But, at 82, it would probably be nice if she could just, you know, hang out at the beach or something.
Barbara just finished interviewing the Prez at the White House. According to the source, during a break in the action, Barbara leaned over to Obama and said, "I need one more interview with you because I'm retiring next year." Here's the thing .. Barbara's mic was open when she said it, and lots of people were listening.
Barbara still does specials for the network, in addition to "The View." Her "Most Fascinating People" show aired last night -- Obama was NOT on her list.
We called NBC News for comment, but so far ... "Something".
