Barbara Walters Reveals Who Made Her 'Most Fascinating' List
"I know we said last year was our last..." she said. So, who changed her mind?
— -- Barbara Walters is back.
The ABC News journalist is returning to primetime on Dec. 14 with "Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2014" special, featuring Oprah Winfrey, Neil Patrick Harris, Chelsea Handler and Scarlett Johansson. Additional names will be announced soon.
"I was absolutely delighted when ABC approached me to do another year of ‘10 Most Fascinating People’,” she said. “I know we said last year was our last, but there are just too many fascinating people out there... and you never pass up the opportunity to interview Oprah, Neil, Chelsea, or Scarlett.”
Walters has been doing her special, which focuses on the most talked about personalities in entertainment and pop culture that year, since 1993. Last year's list included Hillary Clinton, Miley Cyrus, and Jennifer Lawrence.
It's been an exciting year for Walters, who retired from "The View" this past May.
However, she continues to stay active with ABC News.
"I have always had a schedule. I've always had deadlines. I've always had things to do," she told ABC News after her final "View" taping. "It will be nice to get up and say, 'What do I have to do today? Nothing!'"
