Answer 2

Star Jones Reynolds (born March 24, 1962) is an African American television personality and author. She is a former lawyer and prosecutor and is well-known as a former co-host of The View, a popular female-oriented talk show on ABC.

Career
Born in Badin, North Carolina, Jones graduated from Notre Dame High School (Lawrenceville), and earned a B.A. at American University and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from the University of Houston.

Before co-hosting The View, Jones was a legal commentator on television. She was first recruited by Court TV in 1991 as a commentator for the William Kennedy Smith rape trial, and spent several years as a legal correspondent for NBC's The Today Show and NBC Nightly News. She left NBC in 1994 to host her own court show Jones & Jury. Following its cancellation, she became chief legal analyst on Inside Edition, where she covered the O. J. Simpson murder trial and was the only reporter to interview Simpson during his civil trial. In 1997 she joined The View as a co-host, a role that increased her public exposure significantly.

Jones has written two books. The first, You Have to Stand for Something, or You'll Fall for Anything, is a collection of autobiographical essays published in 1998. In January of 2006, Jones published her second book, Shine: A Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Journey to Finding Love, detailing changes she made to re-shape her life, including her marriage and dramatic weight loss.

From September 2004 to September 2005, Jones Reynolds was a red-carpet host for the E! television network, conducting interviews at awards shows. E! declined to renew her contract after one year. [1]

On June 27, 2006, Jones Reynolds officially reported that she would be leaving The View after nine seasons as co-host. She told People Magazine that the decision to leave was not her own. "What you don't know is that my contract was not renewed for the 10th season... I feel like I was fired." [2] She claimed that she found out her contract would not be renewed just days before O'Donnell's addition to the show was announced.

On the June 28th show, Barbara Walters announced that, effective immediately, Jones Reynolds was no longer going to be on The View, except for segments that had already been pre-recorded. Jones Reynolds was removed from the opening credits, leaving only Walters, Joy Behar, and Elizabeth Hasselback. In addition to being removed from the credits, Jones Reynolds was immediately removed from the ABC.com website.
