The View had Geddie as its executive producer for 17 seasons. Prior to that, Geddie was a partner with Barbara Walters in her production company for 25 years, acting as executive producer, writer and director of the the Barbara Walters Specials and The 10 Most Fascinating People. He would also go on to work on Tamron Hall from 2019 to 2020. He started off at Good Morning America, where he won his first Emmy.

Throughout his career, Geddie earned four Emmy's, one of which was a lifetime achievement award. As a cameraman for a local station in Cleveland, Ohio, Geddie won six local Emmys and Regional Cameraman of the Year.

“He was a big deal in TV, but at home he was an even ‘bigger than life’ husband and dad,” Geddie's family said in a statement. “He had a genuine love for television and entertainment. He would try everything and did it well — screenwriting, recording podcasts, playing guitar, and writing songs, and loved a wide range of music from country to jazz."

The View has continued its run despite its change in cast and continues to run today, withstanding the Writers Guild of America strike and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike.
