In what appeared to be a jab at woke culture, Billy Bob Thornton's character on the series Landman took a dig at the The View and their politics in Sunday's episode.
During a scene from the western from creator Taylor Sheridan, Thornton's character Tommy Norris was chatting on the phone with his father T.L., played by Sam Elliott, as the two characters continued to heal following a long estrangement.
In one sequence, T.L. called his son on the phone to tell him he didn't 'know what to do,'at which point Tommy advised him to 'do whatever you want to do' reeling off a list of potential activities his father could take part in.
Tommy told T.L., 'Read a book or watch TV - watch one of them daytime talk shows, you know, like The View or something.
T.L. asked, 'What's The View?' in reference to the ABC roundtable discussion which features Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Alyssa Farrah Griffin.
Tommy described the series as a 'bunch of pissed off millionaires b****ing about how much they hate millionaires - and [President Donald] Trump and men and you and me.

'And everybody else they got a bee up their a**about.'
Tommy told his father that he found the show to be 'pretty funny,' which left his father a bit confused.
Tommy elaborated, 'Well, it ain't joke funny, it's like fart in church funny, you know what I mean?'
His father T.L. responded, 'That don't sound funny, either.'
T.L. then told his son his real reason for calling: he had locked himself out of the house.
After his son said he might not have entered properly, T.L. pushed back, 'I've been opening doors for 80 f***ing years - I'm pretty sure I've mastered the task.'
Elliott, 81, is in his first season on the series, which is in its second season.
The ensemble cast of the Sheridan series also features Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Ali Larter, Paulina Chávez, Jacob Lofland and Michelle Randolph.

Speaking to People earlier this month, Elliott described his character T.L. as a 'fractured man.'
Elliott said that T.L.'s complicated relationship with his son is on display during the show's sophomore season.
'We're going to spend much of this season seeing T.L. early on - but then it becomes both of us, I think - healing that relationship that's falling apart,' Elliott said.
