Why does Barbara Walters have such a weird accent?
<|assistant|>
Barbara Walters was born and raised in New York City and is Jewish, meaning her accent is based heavily in Yiddish. Additionally, Yiddish features include dropped "r"s and pronunciation of the letter "ch" as in "knee."  This contributes to her unique and recognizable accent.
