The View was missing from many television screens this morning as ABC cut to breaking news surrounding New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ indictment — and fans of the long-running daytime talk show were not happy about it.
For many in the New York City area, the breaking news started before The View began airing, meaning fans were unable to watch any of this morning’s broadcast. Meanwhile, other broadcast areas were interrupted midway through the show to air the breaking news, including a speech by Adams — who is being charged with bribery and fraud — as well as his supporters, many of whom were loudly interrupted by protesters in the audience.
Today’s episode would’ve marked the first taping since The View made history with President Joe Biden ‘s appearance on Wednesday (Sept. 25), making him the first sitting POTUS to participate in a live interview on the show. Plus, Wanda Sykes and West Wing stars Martin Sheen , Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack were set to appear on this morning’s episode.
