I don't really see a house conservative in the show's early years, unless it was [John Henson] Debbie Snuffleupagus [JH] or perhaps Star Jones. Hasselbeck came on board in 2003, when Jones was still on the panel, and replaced Lisa Ling as (from the original opening) "a young woman just starting out."
Perhaps I have to include the opening as Barbara Walters did it: "I've always wanted to do a show with women of diffwent genewations, backgwounds, and views: a working mother; a pwofessional in her 30s; a young woman just starting out; and then somebody who's done almost evewything and will say almost anything. And in a perfect world, I'd get to join the gwoup whenever I wanted." And with the youngest panelist 34 these days (Abby Huntsman), is there anyone today that's the young woman just starting out?
