Viewers were eager to learn the results of the rover expedition. "I've always been a bit of a conspiracy theorist," said Janelle Parker, who has watched the show since its inception. "For years, I've pondered the existence of intelligent life on The View, but everyone thought I was crazy. Chances may be slim, but I'm holding out hope that they can find proof."

Early reports indicated that the rover had yet to encounter any sentient creatures. "Nothing of note has been revealed," Barhnhouse said. "Just a pile of organic goo called a ‘Whoopi Goldberg' and some old fossilized remains that have been identified as once being Joy Behar. But nothing intelligent."
