“The View” moderator Whoopi Goldberg is out sick with the flu after recently appearing at the SNL 50th Anniversary Special. This comes at a difficult time for Goldberg, who is scheduled to present at the upcoming Oscars ceremony in early March.
With Goldberg absent, Joy Behar is once again filling in as moderator. Behar, currently starring in her own Off-Broadway show, “My First Ex-Husband,” may find it challenging to juggle both commitments. This could explain why “The View” is hinting at a new guest co-host.
ABC News recently announced the show’s lineup for the upcoming week, which includes guests like Susan Lucci, Will Reeve, and Chelsea Handler. Senator Amy Klobuchar will also appear on a politically focused episode.
With the contracts of Goldberg, Behar, and Sunny Hostin uncertain beyond the current season, “The View” is experimenting with guest hosts. Ariana DeBose, known for her roles in “Hamilton” and “West Side Story,” will co-host on Friday, February 28th. DeBose recently appeared as a guest on the show to discuss her time in “Hamilton.”
While Goldberg is typically off on Fridays, Behar’s presence suggests a potential shift in the usual hosting dynamic. It’s possible Sara Haines may take the moderator’s seat during this time.
In a recent segment, several co-hosts reflected on their younger selves, offering hypothetical advice. The segment proved to be a touching moment, particularly for Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin, who showed kindness towards their younger selves. Sunny Hostin, however, offered some playful criticism of her past hairstyle.
