Barbara Walters says that she's feeling fine after heart surgery in May and that she has practically no scar.
Walters got a rousing welcome Tuesday as she returned to active duty at ABC's "The View" after taking the summer off for recovery.
Adding to the festivities was David Letterman in his first visit. The "Late Show" host had open-heart surgery a decade ago, and he and Walters compared notes. Walters says they "are heart to heart."
When the conversation turned to Letterman's flop as host of the Oscars in 1995, he pretended to have chest pains.
He says he will never host the Oscarcast again if asked. He says: "I had my shot; I screwed it up."
