Debbie Matenopoulos Career

In 1997, Matenopoulos was an MTV production assistant and, after a chance meeting with Barbara Walters was invited to audition and was cast, at age 22, as the youngest co-host on Walters's new talk show, The View. She was parodied on Saturday Night Live by Ana Gasteyer, Claire Danes, Cameron Diaz, and Sarah Michelle Gellar as being an uninformed ditz and eventually invited to appear on SNL as a guest, where she played herself. In January 1999, her contract with the show was not renewed, and she was replaced by Lisa Ling. Later that same year, she joined the TV Guide Channel as one of their first on-air hosts.

Matenopoulos starred in the claymation show Celebrity Deathmatch as herself.

In 2004, Matenopoulos served as a panel judge on the TBS series He's a Lady.

In January 2004, Good Day Live brought in Matenopoulous (along with Arthel Neville) to co-host the nationally syndicated program. On September 29, 2004, she was hospitalized for an injury that was the result of a stunt she attempted for a segment of Good Day Live. The segment was focused on firefighter training, in which she practiced a fall from a three-story building at a Los Angeles fire station. She landed incorrectly on an airbag and was rushed to the hospital for a possible head injury. It was a closed head wound and she was temporarily blind. Despite massive promotion, including a mall-tour featuring Matenopoulous and Arthel Neville, Good Day Live was canceled by its syndicators in March 2005.

In January 2006, Matenopoulos joined E!'s coverage of the Golden Globe Awards. In April of that same year, she became one of the three hosts on E!'s weeknight celebrity gossip and pop culture series, The Daily 10, a position she held until August 2009. While at E!, Debbie also hosted Fashion Police, Live from the Red Carpet, and the Style Network's Instant Beauty Pageant.

On July 25, 2006, over seven years after her last appearance on The View, she was invited back as a special guest co-host for a day, the first of many subsequent guest appearances she has made on the show over the years.

Matenopoulos has also been a frequent contributor to VH1 specials, including I Love the 90s and I Love Toys. She has also been a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race 3.

Debbie's first cookbook, It’s All Greek to Me, was released in the Spring 2014. A revised paperback edition was released in 2018.

On July 6, 2015, Matenopoulos was named the co-host of The Insider, a position she held until the show's cancellation on September 9, 2017. Debbie was subsequently named as a Special Correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.

In 2016, while still co-host of The Insider, Matenopoulos became co-host of Home and Family, replacing Cristina Ferrare.

In a touching tribute, the View co-hosts honor Barbara Walters, the show's creator

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 3, 2023
The View's past and present co-hosts joined together to thank Barbara Walters, the ultimate role model for everyone else.' The Emmy-winning ABC talk show returned from hiatus on Tuesday for the first new episode since Walters' death, who died peacefully at her New York home on Friday at the age of 93. Walters, who created the show in 1997, was the sole hour dedicated to him. "She is the reason we're all here today," Whoopi Goldberg said as the show opened, adding that Walters is respected by the television industry in part because she did not expect them to not believe her.' Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Debbie Matenopoulos, and Joy Behar were among the original co-hosts on Tuesday who paid their respects to Walters. Walters, the first female co-host of the Today show and first woman to anchor evening news, was affectionately remembered on Tuesday as an unrivaled behind-the-scenes teller of tales, lover of dirty jokes, and a holidaytime're-gifter.'
