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.
