The women of The View love to put their guests in the hot seat, but the tables were turned on May 16 when Howard Stern came on the show. He ended up questioning the women — especially Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar — about their relationship with Rosie O’Donnell.
Whoopi, 63, tried to stay mum, but she let slip that she doesn’t feel so kindly toward the former The View host these days.
Howard, 65, also came to the defense of Meghan McCain and urged her cohosts to lay off her during their intense debates. Click through the gallery to find out everything he had to say.

“I actually talk about Rosie in this book, Rosie O'Donnell, and Rosie, one of the best guests I ever had on my show,” he said of the 57-year-old. “It was a miracle she was on my show, because for years I had, like an a**, attacked Rosie. I never gave her a chance.”
