Hasselbeck and co-host Sherri Shepherd took turns holding him. He cried at first, but was generally well behaved on his first-ever live TV appearance. The camera focused on his face several times as the audience oohed and ahh-ed.
Hasselbeck, 30, joked that she calls herself “the dairy queen” because she’s breast-feeding.
“You don’t even look like you were pregnant,” Shepherd told her. “You are so tiny.”
Hasselbeck, wearing a waist-concealing dress with a floral pattern, responded: “Wear a print.”
The conservative “View” co-host and her husband, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, also have a 2-year-old daughter Grace.
Monday’s edition of the daytime chatfest included a full hour of “Hot Topics.” When the conversation turned to politics, co-host Joy Behar joked that Taylor Thomas should leave the stage because things could get uncomfortable for him.
