A respected broadcast journalist who spent decades tackling hard-hitting news stories such as AIDS, white supremacy and adoption scams before becoming the no-nonsense moderator of the popular daytime talk show The View, Vieira began her career in the '70s as a radio announcer. Her combination of good looks and sharp intelligence made her a natural for on-camera work, and she spent the '80s and early '90s at CBS, appearing on the network's evening news and morning shows and eventually becoming a correspondent on 60 Minutes. She left the lauded newsmagazine in 1991 when she became pregnant with her second child, but she didn't stay out of the spotlight for long. Two years later she jumped to ABC, and after a four-year stint hosting the now-defunct series Turning Point, she lent her journalistic credibility to The View, where she helped keep her outspoken cohosts on topic and under control. A devoted mother of three, Vieira effortlessly connected with viewers on a personal level by sharing details about her life, including her husband Richard Cohen's struggle with multiple sclerosis. She also branched out as host of various specials and of the daytime version of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in 2002, which earned her a Daytime Emmy in 2005. In April 2006 she announced that she would take over Katie Couric's spot on NBC's long-running morning show Today, beginning in September of that year.
