When Barbara Walters said she was going to retire, not many believed that she could stay away from the limelight.

As FTVLive told you back on June 9th, Walters had agreed to interview Peter Rodger, the father of Isla Vista shooter Elliot Roger for ABC News. 

Now, Walters is returning to 'The View' this week to promote her interview with Roger. 

She will be on the show on Friday, just 6 weeks after her "last show" on The View when she said she was retiring. 

Walters retirement capped one of the longest careers in television. It has been followed by one of the shortest retirements.
