Barbara Walters will make her official retirement announcement during Monday's episode of The View. "I am very happy with my decision and look forward to a wonderful and special year ahead both on ‘The View' and with ABC News," she told ABC News. "I created ‘The View' and am delighted it will last beyond my leaving it." Walters goes on to say, "I do not want to appear on another program or climb another mountain. I want instead to sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women—and OK, some men too—who will be taking my place." ABC News President Ben Sherwood stated, "There's only one Barbara Walters, and we look forward to making her final year on television as remarkable, path-breaking and news-making as Barbara herself. Barbara will always have a home at ABC News and we look forward to a year befitting her brilliant career, filled with exclusive interviews, great adventures and indelible memories."
