Ana Navarro‘s remarks on The View made for a jaw-dropping moment on the weekday talk show.

The 53-year-old added her two cents during the Friday, March 21 episode, when the Hot Topic discussion turned racy.

Joy Behar started the discussion, sharing a clip of Kate Hudson’s interview with Bustle, in which she talked about the “freedom” she enjoys in her 40s as far as her love life is concerned.

“I’m not a big fan of performative sex. Sex isn’t supposed to be pretty,” Kate said in her interview.

The ladies on the panel chimed in after hearing Kate’s remarks, with Joy questioning what she meant about the act not being “pretty.”

That’s when Ana spoke up, responding, “Well, you know, like if you ever see [adult entertainment videos] — not that I do — the women always have like high-heel shoes on, and they’re always, like, perfect, and all of that … I’ve heard.

Bill Burr appeared for the first time on The View, surprising many of his fans and defying a significant individual’s orders.

The comedian and actor discussed multiple topics with Joy Behar and her co-hosts, including his Broadway debut.

Burr portrays Dave Moss in the revival of the stage play Glengarry Glen Ross, which also stars Oscar winner Kieran Culkin and Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk.

In addition, he promoted his Hulu comedy special, Drop Dead Years, which he mentioned is due to how often people see men randomly drop dead.

Topics in Burr’s stand-up special include his observations about his life and the world, including the dynamics between men and women.

However, he indicated he might not have gone on The View due to someone’s warning.

With Whoopi Goldberg absent from The View,...

With Whoopi Goldberg missing from The View for a recent episode, some viewers likely wondered if she left the show.

Her co-star Joy Behar apologized for Whoopi’s absence, which will continue this week.

She appeared on Wednesday’s episode, which included guest Robert Deniro talking about his new movie, The Alto Knights.

However, Whoopi was a noticeable no-show on Thursday, and Joy opened the show.

“Whoopi is off today, I’m sorry,” she told the viewers.

Joy also informed everyone that “she’ll be back Monday” before the show moved forward.

Here’s why Whoopi Goldberg isn’t on The View

Ahead of Whoopi’s absence from Thursday and Friday’s episodes of The View, she updated her fans on social media.

Taking to her Instagram Story, she shared a photo of herself sitting in an airplane’s cockpit with two pilots and revealed her travel plans.

“Thanks to...

The View cohosts had a lot to say about Donald Trump‘s recent White House renovations on the Thursday, March 20, episode of the talk show. With Whoopi Goldberg absent for a work obligation in Italy, Joy Behar took over as moderator and kicked off the Hot Topics segment. “Millions of Americans are worried about healthcare and social security cuts, so what is the President of the United States doing right now? Watch.” The show then featured a clip of Trump showing off his recent renovations to the Oval Office and Rose Garden. “He’s like the interior decorator in chief now,” Behar joked. “Forget the nuclear button, I don’t even trust him with the button that gets him a Diet Coke.” She then pointed out that Trump is also planning to “completely retool the Kennedy Center,” too. “Is there no safe place to go with anymore with this guy?...

Joy Behar is taking no prisoners on The View if any of her co-hosts step over the line as they speak to her.

Joy stepped up as moderator of The View as Whoopi Goldberg took extended time off earlier in the year

During that time as moderator, Joy honed her skills at checking the other ladies when they became too outspoken for her taste.

As Monsters and Critics reported, Joy used her wit to put Sunny Hostin in her place over her parenting skills, which skewed towards helicopter parenting.

A recent segment on The View involved the Adolescence show on Netflix, and things got heated between Joy and another co-host.

Joy wanted to share her thoughts during the short segment, but Alyssa Farah Griffin interrupted her speech.

Joy Behar rolled her eyes at co-host Sunny Hostin on The Weekend View on Saturday (March 15) while the panel was discussing the topic of parenting and wanting children. The weekend spinoff of the long-running ABC talk show is led by Behar, who is joined by co-hosts Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro. On Saturday’s episode, the group touched on Lady Gaga‘s recent interview with Good Morning America, in which the singer admitted she asked her now-fiance, Michael Polansky, if he wanted marriage and kids soon after dating him. “I wanted him to know I was a family girl,” Lady Gaga said in the interview. “To ask the guy on a first date if you want children is a bit much,” Behar responded, opening the discussion up to the panel. “I don’t think it is at all,” Haines replied. “I didn’t say, ‘Will you...

The talk/variety series “Real Time with Bill Maher,” hosted by Bill Maher, has been running for nearly two decades now, and is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, HBO has already renewed the series to continue through 2026. So don’t expect Maher to leave airwaves anytime soon.

Fans of the show may be wondering – is “Real Time with Bill Maher” new tonight? Yes, “Real Time” is airing a new episode on Friday, March 14 at 10 p.m. Et/7 p.m. Pt.

Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly butted heads during a Trump cabinet meeting last week, and “The View” host Ana Navarro has a theory that Rubio himself might have tipped reporters off to that fact.

To kick off the day’s Hot Topics, the ABC hosts started by discussing Musk’s current standing in Trump’s second administration, with host Alyssa Farah Griffin noting that she has always believed that the Trump-Musk relationship would suffer the same fate as a SpaceX rocket.

But the hosts largely focused on recent reports that Musk is clashing with members of Trump’s cabinet — namely Rubio. And, after Navarro saw the former senator in Miami over the weekend at the funeral for Lincoln Díaz-Balart, which she praised him for attending, the host is pretty convinced the leak came from Rubio’s camp.

“I actually have this theory, where I actually think...

Wendy Williams will be making her first national television appearance in several years by joining an upcoming episode of The View via telephone interview.

The 60-year-old former host of The Wendy Williams Show will be a guest on the Friday (March 14) episode of The View on ABC. It will mark her first return to the show since 2021.

Keep reading to find out more…

The View‘s schedule for Friday, March 14 reads: “Phone interview with Wendy Williams and Ginalisa Monterroso.”

The View is “America’s most-watched daytime talk show for the fifth consecutive season,” per ABC. The 28th season is currently hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin.

As for Wendy, her diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia & aphasia was revealed in February 2024. She was placed under court-appointed guardianship in 2022, and her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, described Wendy as “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated” in November 2024.

However,...

Several of The View co-hosts had issues with the new Meghan Markle Netflix series, prompting fans to rush to her defense.

Meghan’s new series, With Love, Meghan, premiered on the streaming platform last week to mixed reviews from fans and critics.

The Duchess of Sussex hosts and executive produces the series, which released eight episodes for Season 1.

All The View co-hosts except Whoopi Goldberg were present to discuss the new Netflix series.

Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sara Haines had reasons for being disinterested in the series, and Joy Behar asked questions to gauge their reasons for liking or disliking the series.

Many fans seemed to have issues with others’ criticisms of the new Netflix series.

The View co-hosts called out With Love, Meghan

“Meghan Markle is trying to rebrand herself by treading on Martha Stewart’s turf,” Joy said to kick off their discussion of the Netflix lifestyle series.

Joy Behar is facing criticism after changing her tune.

Fans of The View are standing up for a returning guest who once received harsh backlash during an appearance years ago.

Natalie “Nadya” Suleman, famously known as “Octomom,” was a guest on The View earlier this week.

Natalie rose to fame in 2009 when she gave birth to the world’s first surviving octuplets.

At the time, Natalie already had six children, so adding eight more to the mix made her a single mom of 14.

Natalie’s decision to selectively undergo in-vitro fertilization sparked outrage.

The media dragged Natalie Suleman in earlier years

She soon became the target of nationwide criticism for her decision to become a single mom to 14 children without any financial stability.

Among those who formerly criticized Natalie were some then-hosts of The View, including Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

One example was a comment...

After a rough start to her week, Sara Haines seemingly snapped at her co-host during an exchange on The View.

Haines recently appeared on The View’s podcast Behind the Table, where she spoke with executive producer Brian Teta.

Among the topics of conversation were politics and a fiery reply that Haines had to Joy Behar on a recent episode of The View.

It’s not uncommon for the co-hosts to disagree, bicker, and rile each other up, but sometimes things can get heated.

During the podcast, Teta mentioned he told Haines she could “go home” if needed due to her situation.

Haines’ remarks arrive soon after Joy clarified when she’s leaving The View and what she wants when she exits.

Haines recalled her rough return to The View

According to Sara Haines, she had been feeling awful for several days, and it first started when she was at church with her kids.

Did Joy Behar effectively “out” Sara Haines over a “lesbian relationship” on The View?

(And in front of her parents?)

Amidst recent changes at The View, regular contributor Sara Haines stopped by during a recent episode. Joy brought up one of her previous relationships — and some are accusing her of effectively “outing” the beloved journalist.

Is that what happened? Did Joy Behar get into trouble?

Bill Maher says “cancel culture” is absolutely “a real thing” and he has proof.

On the latest episode of HBO’s Real Time, while chatting with author-humorist David Sedaris, the host explained how “cancel culture” most recently impacted the 2025 Oscars, specifically with the controversy surrounding Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón.

“There are people who say cancel culture isn’t a real thing and I would say to them, ‘It just happened at the Oscars,’” Maher said. “You may not think it happened but the movie that was going to win it all was Emilia Pérez.”

The comedian noted that “Hollywood loved” the idea of making history and finally having “a person, who was a trans person” win the best actress Oscar. “God bless her, she did a great job,” Maher added of Gascón’s performance.

While Gascón — the first-ever openly transgender woman to be nominated in her category — was...

While Mike White’s hit HBO show is known as The White Lotus, Whoopi Goldberg has another name for it.

While introducing a segment on a recent episode of The View, the Egot winner said, “The White Lotus — or, The Caucasian Lotus, as I call it — is about ultra-rich people going to exotic locations. But, there’s a conversation from the latest episode that a lot of Americans can relate to these days.”

The conversation from episode three that Goldberg was referencing saw the trio of complicated friends who reunited for a girls trip in Thailand — played by Leslie Bibb (Kate), Carrie Coon (Laurie) and Michelle Monaghan (Jaclyn) — learn that one of them, Kate, voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election.

This got The View panel discussing the very real challenges of navigating friendships with opposite political views in today’s heated political climate.

While Alyssa Farah Griffin feels...

Joy Behar has enjoyed a lengthy career on The View, where she has discussed controversial topics with her co-stars, debated guests, and riled up viewers.

She’s appeared on the show for the most seasons of any of its co-hosts, making her a recognizable star from the show, along with Whoopi Goldberg.

Joy left The View once before, suggesting she would no longer participate in the television program.

However, that exit was brief, as she returned and has continued to appear through the most recent seasons.

Meanwhile, many wonder when she will officially exit ABC’s daytime talk show.

Joy recently addressed rumors about The View and clarified her plans for leaving.

Co-host talked about leaving The View with executive producer

Joy Behar appeared as a guest on Behind the Table, the weekly podcast hosted by The View executive producer Brian Teta, which features the co-hosts’ stars discussing topics from the show or other news.

Update, with video: The Kennedy Center just lost another patron. Whoopi Goldberg announced on The View today that she no longer will attend Kennedy Center performances in light of the Donald Trump board takeover that has prompted a raft of changes at the venue including firings and show cancellations.

During today’s “Hot Topics” segment of the ABC daytime talk show, Goldberg and the rest of the panel were discussing Wednesday’s announcement by Hamilton producers Jeffrey Seller and Lin-Manuel Miranda that they have scotched a planned 2026 Kennedy Center engagement of Miranda’s smash musical. The decision, they said, was a response to the “recent purge by the Trump administration of both professional staff and performing arts events at or originally produced by the Kennedy Center.”

On Wednesday night, Richard Grenell, the Trump-appointed interim executive director of the Kennedy Center, posted a response to the Hamilton producers on X,...

The View spoilers and updates reveals Joy Behar has a tell-all memoir in the works, where she shares some pretty vicious behind the scenes stuff! It’s well-known that tensions among women can escalate, prompting some hosts to leave for their own peace of mind.

What’s In The Upcoming Tell All, And How Do They Compare To “Real Housewives?

It seems in Joy’s memoir, the ladies are reflecting on just how harsh they can be, not only towards their guests but also amongst themselves.

What began as a platform for intelligent women from diverse backgrounds to exchange their views has transformed into a contentious battleground. The show’s hosts often clash, leading to accusations of silencing one another.

Recently, there were allegations that Alyssa Farrah Griffin was frequently interrupted, regardless of her attempts to contribute; conversely, some viewers felt she dominated discussions, creating an atmosphere devoid of harmony.

Donald Trump is set to deliver the first joint address to congress of his second administration on Tuesday night, and if you ask the hosts of “The View,” Democrats should be protesting in big ways — possibly including nudity.

To kick off the day’s Hot Topics, moderator Whoopi Goldberg posed the question of how Democrats should handle the event, asking “Should they sit and listen, should they get butt naked and dance around? What should happen? Or should they all wait ’til the end, when freshman senator Elissa Slotkin gives the Democratic response?”

Joy Behar was first to chime in, bluntly saying that “they should walk out, en masse.” At that, host Alyssa Farah Griffin jokingly asked to clarify if that should happen while nude.

“Naked would be good,” Behar joked back, with Whoopi agreeing that “Naked could be interesting!”

Expounding on her actual thought though, Behar noted that having...

Meghan McCain can’t seem to quit talking about The View and directed her latest shot at conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin.

McCain, a former co-host of the ABC daytime talk show, went out of her way to defend her friend Tulsi Gabbard, who recently was confirmed as U.S, Director of National Intelligence.

Griffin quoted a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, from Christopher Miller, the Financial Times‘ Chief Correspondent in Kyiv. In the post, Miller shares Gabbard’s “talking points that could have come straight from the Kremlin.”

“How serious Republicans supported Tulsi Gabbard for Odni is beyond me,” Griffin posted.

Feeling the urge to defend Gabbard, whom she got close to after making an appearance on The View, McCain quoted Griffin’s post and said, “How anyone thinks you represent any Republican woman in America is beyond me.”

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.S. president Donald Trump on Friday, and was promptly screamed at by Trump and Vice President Jd Vance. According to “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg, it was “one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen.”

Among other things, Zelenskyy was yelled at for apparently not being grateful enough for U.S. support in the war waged against Ukraine by Russia, despite the fact that Zelenskyy has repeatedly thanked the U.S. very publicly. Eventually, Trump told Zelenskyy that “You’re gambling with World War III.”

“That has to be one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen,” Whoopi said angrily after watching the clip on Monday. “This is the leader of a sovereign nation, and you are doing theater with him because you’re trying to show that you’re the hard guy.”

“But I don’t think...

Joy Behar received a talking-to from her co-hosts on a recent episode of The View after she asked about something she should not have to a guest.

Joy Behar has stepped up lately in her work as moderator of The View while Whoopi Goldberg has been on vacation or ill.

After Whoopi stepped out on the Saturday Night Live red carpet for the SNL 50th Anniversary special, she caught the flu and was absent on The View for a few days.

Joy, who moderates The View when Whoopi is gone, filled in for her as she does frequently.

Sometimes moderating seems too much for Joy, and she says things she should not say, and this happened again recently.

Ariana DeBose is defending Angela Bassett’s feelings of “disappointment” after losing at the Oscars to Jamie Lee Curtis.

In a preview for The Weekend View, premiering on Saturday, March 1, at 7:30 a.m. Et on ABC News Live, the co-hosts discuss Bassett’s loss at the Academy Awards in 2023.

DeBose, who presented the Actress in a Supporting Role category at the Oscars to Curtis in 2023 and was a guest co-host on the ABC talk show, gave her take on the situation.

“I know Angela a little, but I know Jamie Lee very well as well,” DeBose said. “You can’t take any of the emotions away from either one of these women. Someone’s disappointment doesn’t negate someone’s joy. And I think there’s an inner workings of how all of this stuff works that a lot of the public don’t get to see. That also compounds the situation.

As Elon Musk continues to take a sledgehammer — or, in his words, a chainsaw — to government programs and staffing, “The View” host Alyssa Farah Griffin has determined that he’s been employed “in the dumbest possible way.”

To kick off Thursday’s Hot Topics, the ABC hosts discussed President Donald Trump’s cabinet meeting this week, in which Elon Musk at least appeared to be presiding by being the only one of Trump’s team not sitting down. And seeing those images, Farah Griffin was mostly baffled.

“My honest take was A) why didn’t someone get Elon Musk a chair? He’s just kind of hovering over the entire meeting, like, dressed in all black,” she questioned with a laugh. “But then also, cabinet meetings are kind of pointless. No actual decision-making happens in them, it’s kind of — especially in the Trump era — it’s turned into basically...

Things got extra spicy on Wednesday’s (February 26) edition of The View when not one but two cohosts called another out for constantly interrupting them. During a discussion on Donald Trump‘s newest administrative controversy — specifically, him claiming that those with $5 million to spare can get an express pass to citizenship — Alyssa Farah Griffin continuously tried to talk over Sunny Hostin when she was making her point and then did the same to Whoopi Goldberg. In both cases, they called her out for speaking out of turn with apparent exasperation. Griffin, who worked for Trump’s first administration, got through her entire argument without anyone cutting in, and she said that while Trump’s work on the economy left something to be desired — “My eggs were like $14 the other day,” she noted — she felt he was winning on his immigration actions. First, she did knock Trump’s tactic with the so-called “gold card” visas,...

The View‘s lineup was finally full on Tuesday’s (February 25) episode after absences from both Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin due to illness. And they all had a lot to say about Donald Trump‘s latest headline-making meeting — this time, with French President Emmanuel Macron. First, the group reviewed footage of the Oval Office sit-down, in which Macron corrected Trump about the contributions European countries are making to help Ukraine’s defense, but also used complimentary language and body language around Trump. Then, Joy Behar made it a proper roast right away. “The amount of flattery that this man needs is a psychological issue. I mean, Roman emperors didn’t need this much ring-kissing. Everyone has to love him. The neediness. The man is almost 80 years old, and he’s got the neediness of a toddler,” Behar, who is 82 herself, said in response to Trump, 78. She went on...

There had been rumors from last May 2024 that comedian Whoopi Goldberg was going to be replaced after her contract expires, which was up in 12 months at the time. Now, a post from Twitter/X has been going around the web stating that ABC refused to renew her contract.

This claim seems like a stretch, and there was no source cited by the netizen or any confirmation from the network. The majority of the comments from fans believed in the alleged decision, but there is no concrete evidence to back up this argument.

Whoopi Goldberg is back on The View after a terrible bout with the flu that kept her absent for several days.

A recent episode of The View opened with Whoopi Goldberg, still visibly sick, coughing as she tried to speak.

As Monsters and Critics reported, Whoopi’s “secret” job coming up depends on her being well enough to perform.

Whoopi reluctantly shared that she will present quickly at the upcoming Oscar’s show.

The flu she caught when she was at Saturday Night Live’s special SNL 50th anniversary show could keep her from that coveted gig.

Whoopi managed to take her seat on The View in a recent episode and shared news of her sickness and how bad it was for her.

Whoopi shared her terrible ordeal during her illness

Whoopi returned to her spot as moderator on The View, giving Joy Behar a day off, but not all went well.

Whoopi Goldberg has been out sick on The View following her SNL 50 Anniversary Special red carpet walk.

Whoopi, who just shared some “secret news” with the ladies, contracted the flu and missed a week of work on The View.

Whoopi will be presenting at the upcoming Oscars in Los Angeles in early March, so this sickness is coming at a bad time for the veteran host.

Joy Behar stepped up again to cover for Whoopi, as she did in January while Whoopi was off in Paris.

Joy, who is starring in her Off-Broadway show, My First Ex-Husband, may not be able to maintain the stamina required to moderate The View.

Joy may need extra time off, which could be why The View is teasing a special new co-host.

Ariana Debose set to co-host on The View

ABC News sent a special press release showcasing The View’s schedule for the next week.

The View is changing this winter, with hosts coming and going so often that fans don’t know who will be there on any given day.

Whoopi Goldberg took an extended time off recently while she showcased her new look at the Paris Fashion Week.

During that time, Joy Behar stepped up into the moderator position that Whoopi typically holds on The View.

Upon her return, Whoopi revealed more “secret news” that could take her away from the show, leaving Joy Behar in charge once again.

The live episode of The View came to a standstill when Whoopi shared that she would present at the Oscars next month, forcing a long trip across the country.

Whoopi recently disappeared from The View once again, and this time, Joy, who stepped up as moderator for her friend, shared that sickness was the culprit.

After recently defeating The View in the ratings, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner has opened up about her feelings on the long-running ABC talk show, saying it operates on “vitriol.” In January, Faulkner’s daily program, The Faulkner Focus, which airs during the 11 am time slot, ended the month with an average total of 2.552 million viewers, just pipping The View, which averaged 2.508 million. This was notable, given The View airs on broadcast television, whereas The Faulkner Focus airs on cable. In a new interview with DailyMail.com, Faulkner shared her thoughts on The View and its hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin. “I’ve seen it when there was a powerhouse journalist. When Barbara Walters was leading it,” she told the outlet. “But now, I don’t really know what the show is, apart from talk, talk, talk; a lot of combativeness.” “We...

A recent episode of The View looked vastly different than usual since only four ladies sat around the table.

Joy Behar, no stranger to running things on The View lately, shared some awful news about Whoopi Goldberg during a recent episode.

Whoopi Goldberg took an extended time off from her job as moderator on The View while she was in Paris showing off her new body at a fashion show.

During that time, Joy kept the ladies in line on The View, filling in for the absent Whoopi Goldberg, secure in her future on the show.

The extra work, coupled with Joy’s play, My First Ex-Husband, an Off-Broadway production, took its toll on her health, and she took time off while Whoopi covered.

Whoopi and Joy, their dear friends, have each other’s backs, showing Joy covered for Whoopi again on The View without hesitation.

Sarah Hyland said she was not disappointed her husband, Wells Adams, was the first person banished from The Traitors.

The Modern Family alum appeared on The View and revealed that it was “great” that Adams didn’t make it far on the third season of Peacock’s competition reality series.

Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Hyland if she was “disappointed” Adams was not a good liar to make it further on The Traitors.

“He’s such a good guy. I would never use the word ‘disappointed’ and my husband’s name in the same sentence, ever,” the former Love Island USA host said. “I was sad that they kicked him off so soon, but he’s an amazing, funny human being.”

She continued, “I think it’s great that he was kicked off so soon because it’s not like it had anything to do with his character. They barely knew each other.

Ever since the start of Donald Trump‘s second administration, The View hosts have continued to react to his various executive actions. But the one name that keeps making it to the top of the “Hot Topics” list in this term is Elon Musk, and that continued to be the case on Wednesday’s (February 19) episode. This time, the cohosts — Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin (since Whoopi Goldberg was out) — reacted to footage of Trump and Musk’s joint interview with Sean Hannity at Fox News. The segment started by reviewing a clip in which Musk said of his relationship with Trump, “I love the president. I think President Trump is a good man,” and Trump responded with, “Elon called me. He said, ‘You know they’re trying to drive us apart.’ I said, ‘Absolutely’ … I wanted to find someone smarter than him. I ...

It’s not uncommon for an episode of The View to be missing its main moderator, Whoopi Goldberg, as she is almost always off on Fridays. However, on Wednesday’s (February 19) episode, fans might have been surprised to see just four cohosts at the table — namely, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin — with Behar taking the top seat in her stead. Goldberg’s absence from Wednesday’s show was not pre-announced during her appearance on Tuesday’s (February 18) episode, when she vigorously weighed in on the “Hot Topics” of the day, including the controversy over Saturday Night Live‘s 50th-anniversary “Black Jeopardy!” sketch. So why was she missing from the newest live episode? As it turns out, Goldberg is out with the flu. Behar announced as much at the top of the hour, explaining, “Unfortunately, I know you’ll be unhappy, but Whoopi is not here with us.

The View addressed the Maga backlash over Tom Hanks’ appearance on SNL50: The Anniversary Special on Sunday, when the actor reprised his role of Doug on the sketch “Black Jeopardy.”

In the sketch, Hanks plays a Donald Trump supporter wearing a Maga cap and freaking out over shaking host Kenan Thompson’s hand.

“The fact remains that they’re making anyone who voted for Trump look like a racist, and that’s why they’re mad,” Joy Behar said on Tuesday’s The View.

The comedian added, “I personally would never do that, because I don’t believe that any group is one thing.”

Behar sympathized with Trump supporters, saying that Trump “misled” a lot of those who voted for him, adding, “They thought that grocery prices would come down. They’re up. They thought inflation was coming down. It’s up. They thought that Medicaid was safe. It’s not.

Tom Hanks’ surprise appearance at “SNL50” sparked Republican backlash on social media, but some outspoken Democrats such as “The View” co-host Joy Behar understand the outrage. Hanks popped up as Donald Trump supporter Doug during the anniversary show’s “Black Jeopardy” sketch, a character he first played on “SNL” eight years ago. Sporting a red Maga hat, Doug freaks out when Kenan Thompson’s “Black Jeopardy” host goes to shake his hand.

“The fact remains that they’re making anyone who voted for Trump look like a racist, and that’s why they’re mad,” Behar said about the backlash. “I personally would never do that, because I don’t believe that any group is one thing.”

“A lot of these people [who voted for Trump], in my opinion, have been misled,” she continued. “They thought that grocery prices would come down. They’re up. They thought inflation was coming down. It’s up.

Joy Behar has long been a vocal critic of Donald Trump and those who support him, but on Tuesday morning, the host of “The View” actually defended Trump voters, slamming “SNL50” for how they were portrayed.

Behar was, of course, referring to the “Black Jeopardy” sketch, which ended with an appearance from Tom Hanks as Doug, a lone white contestant wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. As Doug gives the correct answer, host Kenan Thompson approaches to give him a handshake, which makes Doug panic.

The sketch earned scorn from conservatives, including the hosts of “Fox & Friends,” and perhaps surprisingly, Behar agreed with them on the implications of the sketch.

“The fact remains that they’re making anyone who voted for Trump look like a racist, and that’s why they’re mad,” she said. “And I personally would never do that, because I don’t believe that any group is one thing.

The ladies on The View recently shared strong opinions about hiring matchmakers to find love, but Sunny’s suggestion was the boldest.

Sunny’s life isn’t getting any easier this winter, and things may get darker for the veteran co-host on The View.

Sunny struggled last fall with empty-nest syndrome as her youngest child moved out of her house for college, but now she is facing problems with her husband, Manny Hostin.

As Monsters and Critics has reported, Manny is involved in a lawsuit alleging insurance fraud, and Sunny has to handle that in front of the public.

This insurance fraud lawsuit, coupled with a close family member’s death, which Sunny recently revealed on The View, are heavy things to deal with, and perhaps she needs some help.

One way Sunny wants to lighten her load a bit is by focusing on her children and their future spouses,...

The View’s panel has been looking very different recently, as co-host Joy Behar has been missing for some days. The good news is that she’s returned and recently offered up an explanation as to why she was absent.

Where Has Joy Behar Been?

Behar recently stepped up to the plate and jumped into the moderator role while Whoopi Goldberg was taking an extended break from the show. Still, when Whoopi returned, Joy then went missing for some days.

During her absence, The View brought in alum Star Jones to keep the conversation going, which was fun for both longtime and newer viewers of the show, but many wondered where Joy was and why she was missing.

Behar Explains Things to View Fans

Some viewers know that Behar has been preparing for her new off-Broadway show, ‘My First Ex-Husband’, and Goldberg had suggested her co-host was away because of this.

“The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said Friday that Kanye “Ye” West should not be “given a pass” for his offensive, antisemitic comments and behavior because of the state of his mental health.

“I feel like, for some reason, Kanye has been given a pass. I know there’s a perception that he may have some mental health issues, but there are tens of millions of people around this country who have mental health issues, who aren’t saying bigoted, racist, antisemitic things,” Griffin said to her fellow co-hosts on “The View.”

“I think it’s a cop-out … I think he needs to be called out, especially on the heels of the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust on Oct. 7,” she added. “There’s a rise globally in antisemitism.”

Griffin’s statement is in response to West’s ongoing attacks against the Jewish community. In the past week, the...

Alyssa Farah Griffin doesn’t agree with how her former boss, Donald Trump, handles some things, but she recently agreed with him on one thing.

The View‘s conservative co-host said that she agrees with Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” because it’s “more inclusive.”

“I don’t actually hate renaming the ‘Gulf of America,’ and I’m going to tell you why,” she said on Thursday’s episode of the ABC talk show. “It’s a more inclusive term. It is North America. Mexico and the United States are part of the Americas.”

She continued, “It would be petty if he called it the Gulf of the United States by basically saying it’s our country’s, not yours.”

Griffin said that with Trump making this an issue it’s his way of causing distraction and “to trigger reaction from the media so...

Whoopi Goldberg has enough grit to tell everyone off on The View, and she did that on a recent episode.

Whoopi often takes charge of The View, moving things along as moderator on the hit show and putting people into their place if things get out of hand.

Joy Behar recently had to step up while Whoopi was off in Paris for Paris Fashion Week, showcasing her new body.

Joy warned Sara Haines and Michael Strahan on a recent show, reining them in as they got too bold with their language.

Whoopi is back now and isn’t taking any flack from anyone. She said so on a recent episode of The View and clarified that she doesn’t care if people reject her.

The ladies discussed imposter syndrome and brought up Maureen Evelyn, who applied to Harvard University on purpose, thinking that the rejection would help her.

Whoopi Goldberg...

Sara Haines puts all she has into her job as a co-host on The View, and a recent segment showcases her efforts.

Sara wears her heart on her sleeve, which was highlighted in a recent segment featuring Michael Strahan.

Sara has known Michael and his children for years, and hearing about Isabella Strahan’s battle with cancer brought her to tears live on the air.

Sara brought that same energy to a fun segment with one of the winners of the latest Super Bowl.

Super Bowl Lix featured a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, with the latter winning the big game.

Jalen Hurts, the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, came to The View to show the ladies how to throw a football, but Sara went all in during the segment.

Donald Trump may have renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America to establish dominance, but if you ask “The View” host and former Trump staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin, the name is actually “more inclusive.”

As part of Thursday’s Hot Topics, the ABC hosts discussed the White House’s barring of the Associated Press from covering an Oval Office event, due to the outlet’s refusal to call the Gulf of Mexico by its new name in editorial coverage. While Farah Griffin agreed that shutting the AP out was a bad move, the host admitted she doesn’t have much of an issue with the name change itself.

“I don’t actually hate renaming the Gulf of America, and I’m going to tell you why,” she said. “It’s a more inclusive term. It is North America. Mexico and the United States are part of the Americas.

Another day, another Donald Trump decision for The View cohosts to dissect. On Thursday’s (February 13) edition, it was his stated plans to eliminate the Department of Education that had the panelists fired up as the first “Hot Topic.” After reviewing footage of Trump saying he’d like it to be “closed immediately” and calling it “a big con job,” along with a segment of Elon Musk declaring he wants to “delete entire agencies,” cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin had their say. “They just make things up,” Behar said about the White House’s explanation for the planned move. She also said that the part that makes her feel “crazy” is that the programs that are being targeted by the administration’s Doge arm generally tend to service lower-income individuals. She added, “People should not put up with it.” Hostin pointed out...

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl Mvp Jalen Hurts stopped by “The View” on Wednesday morning, and he was greeted by a pretty raucous crowd. In fact, the audience was so excited to chant for him that moderator Whoopi Goldberg had to pause and settle them herself.

As Hurts took the stage, he was first met by thunderous applause, with Whoopi telling the audience “Get up if you’re able to.” But, as he sat down, the crowd began chanting “Mvp,” which surprised and delighted the ABC hosts.

After a few seconds, the chanting died down — but only briefly.

As Whoopi tried to start the conversation, the crowd attempted to start another chant. She quickly tamped that down, reminding them that “it’s only an hour show.”

At that, the interview finally began,...

Whoopi Goldberg did not hold back over her criticism of ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith and his disparaging remarks about Serena Williams on a recent episode of The View.

A great many people watched Kendrick Lamar and his Halftime show at the Super Bowl and may have noticed Serena Williams dancing during the songs.

Kendrick has a famous beef with rapper Drake, and some think so does Serena, especially ESPN podcaster Stephen A. Smith.

The famous tennis player dated Drake, and her dancing to a diss track about him has everyone commenting, including Stephen and now the ladies on The View.

Stephen spoke out about Serena’s dance, named a Crip Walk Dance, and what her husband should do about it on his First Take podcast, drawing Whoopi’s ire over his presumptions.

The ladies on The View brought up the subject recently, and Whoopi could not hold back on...

Joy Behar has been a staple on The View for nearly 30 years, but is it time for her to pack it up?

The comedian and talk show host recently marked her 82nd birthday on air, and while she’s been holding her own, a few followers shared messages saying that it was time for her to retire.

But is that really in her plans? And honestly, should it? As an Og member of the panel, shouldn’t she stick with the show as long as she wishes?

Here’s what we know:

Joy turned 82 on October 7, 2024, but a few days before, she had a special celebration with her co-hosts on The View.

Fox News Channel continues to top the ratings charts, delivering its highest-rated January in cable news history and marking its 23rd consecutive year as the number one network in cable news, averaging 1.916 million viewers in total day viewership and 2.781 million viewers in primetime.

In daytime, the network topped ABC’s “The View” head-to-head for the first time ever with “The Faulkner Focus,” anchored by Harris Faulkner. The daytime news show averaged 2.552 million viewers in January, +44,000 viewers ahead of “The View” and its 2.508 million viewers.

“I could not grab this big win without my wonderful team,” said Faulkner of the achievement. “It’s a testament to the hard work and passion we put into bringing Americans the latest news and analysis on what matters most to them. “The Faulkner Focus” is a place where audiences can tune in and know their questions about the day’s headlines will be answered with...
