After 50 years in broadcasting, revered journalist Barbara Walters signs off from her ABC talk show The View today. The chat show, which revolutionized the daytime television landscape, threw a party in her honor with a guest list that only Walters could corral.

More than two dozen female journalists, ranging from Oprah Winfrey to Katie Couric and Robin Roberts, will appear on today's episode. Roberts tweeted an amazing picture of the women celebrating and it makes us envious that we weren't invited. -- Jordan Valinsky
