The Resume

    (October 26, 1975- )
    Born in Jackson, Michigan
    ABC News correspondent
    Co-anchor of Good Morning America Weekend
    Co-host of The View (2015– )
    Hosted ‘The Oscars Backstage’ at the 87th Annual Academy Awards (2015)

Why she might be annoying:

    Pushy or not, she speaks openly about her Christianity.
    ‘You know you’re old when your alma mater asks you to speak at its graduation ceremony.’
    On her Twitter account, she states her actual last name is Shalhoub (well, her father is Lebanese).
    Joy Behar returned as a panelist the same year she joined.
    Valid a point as it was, she unwittingly set off Whoopi Goldberg by stating that (on the issue of abortion), ‘we’ve also got to respect that not everybody in America believes the same way this panel does.’ (She disagreed with Goldberg’s assertion of The View being ‘fair and balanced.’)

Why she might not be annoying:

    According to ABC News (at go.com), her childhood nickname was ‘Paula 20 Questions.’
    Limited television opportunities in her area led her to work first in radio sales.
    On her Facebook page, she lists ‘bacon’ as a personal interest (‘can’t walk in heels’).
    Pregnant with her third child, she relocated to a suburban area of New York ‘to have a less chaotic upbringing.’
    At least she isn’t a blonde Republican sex kitten!
    Unlike many View panelists, she is a real journalist.
