Television career

Hasselbeck (then Elisabeth Filarski) was cast in Survivor: The Australian Outback in 2001 and was formerly a Kucha member. She managed to avoid being voted out of the first Tribal Council, which her tribe attended. She began a winning streak in episode five, but she lost one more. Kimmi was voted out of office by Kimmi. In episode six, Hasselbeck's tribemate Michael Skupin collapsed into the campfire and had to be medically evacuated, bringing the Kucha and Ogakor tribes together, with five members each. She lasted almost nine hours in the first individual immunity competition in which participants had to stand on a perch in the sea for as long as possible when merging. When the first election was held against her tribemate Jeff, she was voted out due to previous votes cast against him. Alicia, another Kucha member, was voted out of office and sent to the jury. Filarski was next on the block when she, Nick, the nation's biggest threat, was ruled out, but she swayed the votes of Ogakor members Tina Wesson and Colby Donaldson to her exile, with Jerri Manthey disobeying her. Rodger Bingham, her closest ally throughout the entire game, was disqualified from the final five. She became the only remaining Kucha member and was eventually disqualified, ending in fourth place overall. She was one of four women to win Tina's vote. Colleen Haskell of Survivor: Borneo was one of two people asked to return for Survivor: All-Stars and Decline, one of two people who were considered to return for Survivor: All-Stars and declined.

Hasselbeck served as a judge at the Miss Teen USA 2001 pageant. She appeared on Style Network's The Look for Less, where she helped find trendy clothes for bargain prices from 2002 to 2003.

Although Hasselbeck herself thought of herself as a "behind the scenes" type of person, not keen on a television career or playing pundit, her agent was eager to show her rivals, and she auditioned for The View in 2003. Hasselbeck was one of a number of people who hosted to replace outgoing The View co-host Lisa Ling, who left the show at the end of 2002. On November 24, 2003, she became a permanent co-host.

On The View, Hasselbeck portrayed the conservative viewpoint.

Hasselbeck was thrust into a tense discussion on August 2, 2006, in which she vehemently opposed the Food and Drug Administration's attempt to sell the "morning-after pill" as an over-the-counter drug. "I think life begins at the moment of conception," Hasselbeck said. "Life still has value," she said, because over-the-counter selling of the drug should be outlawed even in situations of rape and incest. "rape or incest" exceptions, according to Hasselbeck, have been used as a "bait-and-switch" distraction from the primary goal of making it universally available. She argued that if the "rape or incest" exception were something that all supporters cared about, they would not endorse its over-the-counter status. After becoming empathetic about the situation, moderator Barbara Walters advised Hasselbeck to relax on air. Hasselbeck ripped out her cue cards and thrashed the set as the live show came to a commercial break. Hasselbeck confessed to co-moment being reprimanded on live television by Walters for being passionate about the topic, in an expletive-laden off-air chat on a live mic. She threatened to leave, but producer Bill Geddie compelled her to return to the role. Walters and Elisabeth appeared on a couch together on the break, awkwardly making up for the situation. Hasselbeck hugged Walters, sat on her lap, and decided against abandoning her plea for resignation despite her warning not to resign.

Who are the terrorists?"

In August 2009, Hasselbeck, along with her co-hosts Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd, and Barbara Walters, received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host. It came after over a decade of nominations for The View, with no winner. None of the show's co-hosts were in Los Angeles to receive the award. The show had not been selected for both Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Host for the first time.

According to a lot of outlets, Hasselbeck was supposed to be fired from the show, largely because of market polls that revealed viewers' views were too conservative. Walters, however, said on the show's March 11, 2013 episode, that the allegations are "particularly false" and that Elisabeth has "no plans to leave this show."

Hasselbeck would leave The View to join Fox & Friends on July 9, 2013. On July 10, 2013, she was her last day on The View.

Since being fired, Hasselbeck and other former co-hosts attended Barbara Walters' retirement on May 15, 2014. On March 26, 2019, she returned to the show as a visitor for the first time after being fired in 2013. She appeared in August 2022 as a host on the show's 25th anniversary season, in which former hosts made return appearances.

On September 16, 2013, Hasselbeck joined Fox News Morning as a co-host, replacing Gretchen Carlson. The show's viewers had grown by 9 percent and risen by 10 percent in viewers aged 25-54 by the time. Hasselbeck, a writer from November 2015, announced that she would retire and leave Fox & Friends at the end of the year to spend more time with her family, not the rest of them." On December 22, 2015, she would have turned down her last day in Fox News.
