When your father asks you to help run your campaign, its a hard one to say no to.
We will truly miss her and her great spirit professionally and personally.
You know I think the world of all of you.
Youre some of the most talented, hard-working and genuine people Ive ever worked with.
The staff is the engine of the show and you never get enough credit for what you do.
I applaud you and thank you for welcoming me to the family on day-one.
You always made me look much better than I ever could have on my own.
Thank you for believing in me and for all the laughs along the way.
ABC will always hold a special place in my heart, and so will all of you.
I hope you will be in my life for years to come.
The Viewis currently in its 23rd season.
