Saying Bye to Babs

All the past hosts of 'The View' (and there are a lot of them) came on the show to g̶o̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ say goodbye to mama bear.

It was all part of the verrrrrrrry long goodbye to Barbara Walters who is wrapping up her TV career (although not really) Today.

Barbara Walters reunited with all eleven co-hosts of "The View," past and present, on Thursday's show.

Rosie O'Donnell, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Lisa Ling and Debbie Matenopoulos returned to the show to joining the show's current co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy.

"I'm so proud you are here and proud we are still friends," Walters told them. "Not everybody can say that and work with people and still love them. I thank all of you. I have been honored to share this table with you."

"This is the last supper with Barbara," Behar joked.

It was the first time that O'Donnell and Hasselbeck have been on air together since their famous clash in 2007, after which O'Donnell left the show. The two former co-hosts sat side by side Thursday, and when O'Donnell was asked what she missed most about the show, she joked, "Fighting with the skinny one right here."

"I knew it," Hasselbeck laughed.
