Former co-host of "The View," Meredith Vieira, told Time magazine the all-female morning talk show on ABC in New York has become a "joke."

Vieira moderated the show for nine years, but left in May. She said she was "not tired" of the program, but after such a long time, "you become so blase," the New York Post reported.

Vieira said she stopped watching the show because she was looking to the future. She is moving to NBC's "Today" show in September.

Former "View" co-host Star Jones announced on the air that she was quitting.
