Barbara Walters honored with 'This is 2020' tribute video featuring star cameos
Published January 01, 2020
Barbara Walters, now 90 years old and retired, was apparently way ahead of her time when she first said: "This is 20/20."
To many, that introduction to the news magazine program she co-anchored on ABC from 1974-2004 seemed like the perfect way to kick off the new year 2020.
So to celebrate the new year, New York City's WABC-TV put together a star-studded video tribute to Walters, featuring stars such as Kelly Ripa, Whoopi Goldberg and others voicing the introduction that Walters made famous.
