Elisabeth DelPadre Hasselbeck (née Filarski; born May 28, 1977) is an American television personality and talk show host.

She rose to prominence in 2001 as a contestant on the second season of the American version of Survivor, where she finished in fourth place.

[3] She then attended Boston College, where she captained the women's softball team for two seasons, winning consecutive Big East championships.

[5] In 2001, Hasselbeck (then Elisabeth Filarski) was cast in Survivor: The Australian Outback, and was originally a member of the Kucha tribe alongside Rodger Bingham, Nick Brown, Alicia Calaway, Debb Eaton, Kimmi Kappenberg, Michael Skupin, and Jeff Varner.

[6] From 2002 to 2003, she hosted the Style Network's The Look for Less where she helped find stylish clothes for bargain prices.

[5] Although Hasselbeck previously saw herself as a "behind the scenes" kind of person and not interested in a career in television, or playing pundit, her agent was eager to showcase her competitive client and she auditioned for The View in 2003.

[7] Hasselbeck was one of a number of women who guest-hosted to replace outgoing The View co-host Lisa Ling, who left the show at the end of 2002.

Hasselbeck argued that advocates of the drug use the "rape or incest" exception as a "bait-and-switch" distraction from the goal of making it universally accessible.

[9] On air, moderator Barbara Walters advised Hasselbeck to calm down after she became emotional about the topic.

When the live show went to a commercial break, Hasselbeck ripped up her cue cards and stormed off the set.

As the show came back from the break, Walters and Elisabeth appeared together on a couch, awkwardly making up for the situation.

[11] In August 2009, Hasselbeck, along with her co-hosts Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd, and Barbara Walters, won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host.

[17][18][19][20] On July 9, 2013, ABC confirmed that Hasselbeck would be leaving The View to join Fox & Friends.

[29] In November 2015, Hasselbeck announced that she would retire and leave Fox & Friends at the end of the year in order to spend more time with her family, saying she wanted to "give them the best of me, not the rest of me".

[40][41] On October 26, 2008, Hasselbeck appeared at Republican rallies in Florida, introducing vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

[44] She has written a book on the subject, The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide, which has appeared on several best-seller lists.

The lawsuit was dismissed in November 2009 when the plaintiff's lawyer declined to pursue it, saying to the press that he believed some degree of plagiarism occurred, but it was not sufficient to justify monetary damages.
