The View’s hosting lineup has been a revolving door recently, leaving viewers guessing who will appear each day. Whoopi Goldberg’s recent absence for Paris Fashion Week saw Joy Behar stepping in as moderator.
Upon Goldberg’s return, she announced upcoming Oscar presenting duties, requiring another absence. Shortly after, Goldberg was out sick with the flu, and Behar once again took the hosting reins.
Behar herself experienced a brief absence due to overwork, returning just before Goldberg fell ill. This led to a stretch of shows with Behar at the helm, prompting fan reactions online.
On a Facebook fan group, opinions varied. Some expressed disappointment at Goldberg’s absence, jokingly calling the show “The Joy Behar Show.” Others shared their appreciation for Behar, while some critiqued her political views.
With Goldberg recovering, Behar continues to lead the panel, which includes Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin. We wish Whoopi a speedy recovery.
Meanwhile, the show is looking ahead to its 30th anniversary in 2026. Behar and executive producer Brian Teta recently discussed the milestone on the podcast “The View: Behind the Table.” Teta expressed interest in creating a documentary to commemorate the show’s long run and its many hosts and guests.
