    'The View': Joy Behar Tells Meghan McCain She 'Did Not Miss' Her During Heated Argument

    ABC

    Upon watching a short clip of the on-air fight between the two co-hosts of ‘The View’, Canadian Janice Dean comments, ‘It was cruel, and of course no one came to her defense.’

    Jan 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – After taking a maternity leave, Meghan McCain returned to “The View” in the Tuesday, January 5 episode. Despite being her first episode after the hiatus, Meghan was as fiery as ever which led her to get into an argument with co-host Joy Behar.
    “On the one hand you have the Republicans and on the other hand you have the seditionist,” Behar said in the episode. “Among the Democrats you have the progressives and the moderates which is de rigueur. The Republican party is in much more trouble right now….”
    Meghan couldn’t wait to interrupt as she responded, “Are you kidding me? You have AOC saying…” Before she finished her sentence, Joy cut it off, saying that she wasn’t done expressing her opinion.
    “Joy, you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave. You missed fighting with me,” the new mom told her co-host. Joy, however, replied bluntly, “I did not. I did not miss you. Zero.” To that, the daughter of late Senator John McCain responded, “That’s so nasty. That’s so rude.” Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg attempted to stop them from fighting.

    Upon watching a short clip of the on-air fight, Canadian Janice Dean commented, “It was cruel, and of course no one came to her defense.” She went on writing on Twitter, “@MeghanMcCain has outlasted a lot of conservative women on that program, and that says a lot about her character. The online hate that comes her way is absolutely awful. She deserves better.”
    “I must admit I have watched the View since their birth but today Joy was totally disgusted with Meghan. Joy looked irritated turning her head as if to look at someone in the room.. Meghan was right, Joy was very rude. She may just be burnt out staying home,” another person said.
    However, someone else thought that it was Meghan who was rude to Joy for interrupting her. “Meg interrupted Joy. Rude. Then she went off on some many miles long rant at the usual rightwing fear targets AOC & Bernie. I think Joy was taking it easy on her. I didn’t miss her either and she needs to know why so many of us feel that way,” the person defended Joy.
    That is hardly the first time for Meghan and Joy screaming at each other on air due to their opposite political views. Despite that, Joy claimed in November 2019 that there was no actual bad blood between her and Meghan. “We like each other!” Joy insisted at the time. “They keep writing things about how we can’t stand each other.”
    “It genuinely hurts my feelings because our dressing rooms are next door to each other and you and I have the same emotional reaction to things, sometimes in different ways,” Meghan added. “We’re both upset equally, the equal amount of the same things. I wish people would give us a break, for real.”

    Announcing her return, the conservative hosts writes on Twitter, ‘It’s almost time…I’m so excited to take my spot as the conservative seat back at the Hot Topics table (virtually).’

    Dec 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Meghan McCain is heading back to “The View”. After taking some time off the show in order to prepare the arrival of her baby, the conservative talk show co-host will soon return to the show to join other co-hosts including Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro.
    Announcing her return, Meghan took to her Twitter account on Wednesday, December 30 to write, “It’s almost time…I’m so excited to take my spot as the conservative seat back at the Hot Topics table (virtually) @TheView on Monday!” Alongside a GIF of Christina Aguilera saying, “Momma came to play,” on “The Voice”, the 36-year-old added, ‘Did I miss anything while on maternity leave?!?”

    Meghan is set to return via Zoom on Monday, January 4. The week will feature a number of guests that include Lil Nas X, Ken Jeong, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Ralph Macchio and William Zabka.
    Meghan’s return to the show is actually obvious with her shutting down rumors that she would never be back to the show. “Why does everyone ask me if I’m getting fired or quitting every 20 seconds?” the daughter of late Sen. John McCain said during her appearance on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” back in August. “No other host has to deal with this BS. Yes, I’m coming back. It’s an election cycle.”
    Meghan welcomed her daughter Liberty Sage McCain Domenech, whom she shares with husband Ben Domenech, September 28. The couple broke the exciting news in March, nine months after they revealed a heartbreaking miscarriage.
    “My husband Ben and I have been blessed to find out I’m pregnant. Although this isn’t how I expected to announce my pregnancy, both we and our families are excited to share the news with you all,” Meghan announced. “I consulted with my doctors and they advised me that for the safety of our baby and myself, I should be extra vigilant about limiting the amount of people we come in contact with. Starting immediately, I’ll be joining the millions of Americans who are self-isolating as a precaution to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

    'The View' Blasts 'Entitled Brat' Olivia Jade Following 'Red Table Talk' Interview

    ABC/Instagram

    While Whoopi Goldberg opts to not give harsh comments, her co-host Ana Navarro doesn’t mince her words by calling out the YouTube personality over her parents’, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, involvement in college admission bribe.

    Dec 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Despite Olivia Jade Giannulli’s’ public apology over college admission bribe, “The View” co-hosts didn’t seem to be soften towards the daughter of Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli. In the December 8 episode of the talk show, the ladies of “The View” dragged Olivia following her appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith’s “Red Table Talk”.
    Of the interview, co-host Sunny Hostin, whose two children are both student athletes, said, “I don’t think she went far enough, but I do put most of the blame on her parents.” She went on adding, “They should have taught her better. It’s been very difficult for me to understand. Because while my children have grown up with a certain amount of wealth, as I did not, we made sure to teach them that cheating is never appropriate.”
    “For many Black children, being an athlete is one of the only entrances into college,” Sunny explained. Referring to Lori and her husband’s attempt to fraudulently admit Olivia and her sister Isabella Gianulli to USC as part of the crew team, she continued, “And for Olivia Jade to try to take one of those legitimate spots from another athlete I just think is deplorable. And she didn’t address that.”
    Sara Haines agreed that it might take a while for people to accept Olivia’s apology. “It was a step she had to take, but she’s got about 99 more before she’s earning respect back, and I think her actions will speak louder than her words,” she opined. “I’ll give her a minute. But I don’t buy her ‘I grew up in a bubble’ excuse. She’s 20 years old; I expect more from my four-year-old.”

    While Whoopi Goldberg opted to not give harsh comments, co-host Ana Navarro didn’t mince her words by calling out the YouTube personality. “I really have no interest in talking about this entitled brat and her enabling parents,” she said. “I don’t really have the bandwidth to give a hoot about Olivia Jade wanting her platform back.”

    Olivia addressed her parents Lori and Mossimo Giannulli’s involvement in the college bribery scandal in the Tuesday episode of Jada, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris’ Facebook Watch show “Red Table Talk”. “There is no justifying or excusing what happened because what happened was wrong,” the social media personality admitted. “And I think every single person in my family can be like, that was messed up. That was a big mistake.”
    “I think for anybody, no matter what the situation is, you don’t want to see your parents go to prison, but also I think it’s necessary for us to move on and move forward,” she went on saying.

  • Sara Haines Returning to 'The View' as Co-Host

    Instagram

    The 42-year-old TV personality is no stranger to the Hot Topics table as she previously joined the show as one of the co-hosts for two seasons from the fall of 2016 through the summer of 2018.
    Aug 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sara Haines is back to “The View”! The 42-year-old TV personality is set to return to the ABC morning talk show as a co-host for season 24 in September, according to Variety. She is said to be filling in the empty seat following Abby Huntsman’s exit in January.
    Sara is no stranger to the Hot Topics table. She previously joined the show as one of the co-hosts for two seasons from the fall of 2016 through the summer of 2018. She also frequently made guest appearances on the show. In upcoming season 24, Sara will be joining Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and the show’s only conservative co-host Meghan McCain.
    Sara previously left “The View” to co-host “Good Morning America Day” with Michael Strahan. The now-canceled show was later dubbed “GMA3: Strahan and Sara” before eventually changing to “Strahan, Sara & Keke” after Keke Palmer joined them. ABC announced that it pulled the plug on the show in March.
    During Keke’s recent appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”, she shared that the decision was “expected.” She explained, “Here’s the thing, when the pandemic hit, that’s what became all on our mind, was the pandemic – corona, understanding COVID. So I kind of knew that, if our show did come back, it would have to be much, much, much later because our show is really about an audience.”
    She went on saying, “When you think about it, that’s what we do. We do a little bit of news, but it’s entertainment news. It’s really fun conversations and lightheartedness. So it’s a different time now, and some of the conversation has changed, and I think it just kinda pushed (‘Strahan, Sara and Keke’) out.”

  • Meghan McCain Looks Annoyed Over 'The View' Question: I'll Return

    Bravo

    Meghan, the only conservative co-host on the show, has been rumored to be exiting ‘The View’ as she often argued with co-hosts, prompting her to insinuate that she would leave the show if her opinion is unwanted.
    Aug 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Meghan McCain is not leaving “The View”. During her appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen”, the 35-year-old assured fans that she would be returning to the talk show after giving birth.
    “Why does everyone have to ask me if I’m getting fired or quitting every 20 minutes? No other host has to deal with this BS,” Meghan, who looked annoyed by the question, explained in the Wednesday, August 5 episode. “Yes, I’m coming back. It’s an election cycle. I hate this.”

    Meghan has been rumored to be exiting “The View” as she often argued with co-hosts, prompting her to insinuate that she would leave the show if her opinion is unwanted. On July 16, she confronted Joy Behar for being “snippy” with her. “I’m being paid to talk,” she said. “If you have a problem with it, I don’t have to come to work today.”
    Co-host Whoopi Goldberg even had to cut Meghan to commercial break during an on-screen argument between Meghan and Joy as they discussed reopening states amid COVID-19 pandemic. Meghan, who is the only conservative co-host on the show, insisted that it was “Democrat wish list.” She yelled during the argument, “I think what’s exhausting is coming on this show every day and being told that Republicans don’t care about anything, we just want people to die, we want children not to be educated, nothing matters.”
    This is not the first time Whoopi and Meghan were butting heads, but the latter explained that there are no hurt feelings between them. “You know, it’s live TV and it’s really intense, stressful times for anyone. I adore her; she apologized off air, she apologized on air,” she said on “WWHL” in January. “We all f**ked up on the show. It’s live, it’s every day and I forgive her and I love her.”
    Meghan even said that she wouldn’t continue being on the show should Whoopi leave. “Whoopi is the anchor of the show, my life there; she always picks us up when we’re down. But, if she jumps, I jump. I adore her and I need her as the moderator,” she explained.

    Rosie O'Donnell Stops Watching 'The View' Because It Changes

    WENN

    The 58-year-old TV personality, who used to serve as co-host on the morning talk show before abruptly exiting in 2007, notes that the show has ‘been dumbed-down a lot.’
    May 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rosie O’Donnell has a lot to say when it comes to “The View”. The former co-host of the morning talk show reveals in a new interview that the show has changed drastically, noting that it has been too politically correct than it used to be.
    “I don’t watch it anymore because it upsets me, and because I think it’s been dumbed-down a lot,” she explained. She went on saying, “Everyone seems to think they have their two-minute sound bite and they want to get everything in but in the old days, ‘The View’ had much more of a real conversation happening live, and it doesn’t feel like that’s happening anymore.”
    The 58-year-old also recalled that when she returned to the show in 2014 following her 2007 departure, it stopped her from discussing the sexual assault accusations against Bill Cosby. “They didn’t let us talk about [it]. I was overtly told, ‘We are not discussing it, Rosie.’ One of the hosts told me that,” she shared.
    Rosie joined “The View” in 2006 before abruptly exiting the show following an explosive fight with then co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck about the Iraq war.
    In related news, “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” host addressed her feud with President Donald Trump. “I said some things about him — not nearly as bad as I could have said … but I just talked about him not being a self-made man, having money from his father, and saying he went bankrupt — and it made him go berserk,” she told The Daily Beast this week. “He went on a tirade for a good decade that hasn’t ended today.”
    “I think he can’t let go of a strong woman standing up to him. He won’t let it die,” she added.

    'The View' Alum Paula Faris Denies Meltdown and Whoopi Goldberg Beef

    Instagram

    Unlike what had been reported, Paula shares in her new book that she and Whoopi had a mature talk with Whoopi about her decision to ‘step back’ from the morning show back in 2016.
    Apr 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “The View” co-host Paula Faris has set the record straight about the rumors surrounding her exit from “The View” back in 2018. The 44-year-old detailed her departure in her new memoir “Called Out: Why I Traded Two Dream Jobs for a Life of True Calling” which was released on Tuesday, April 21.
    Addressing the alleged beef she had with former co-host Whoopi Goldberg, Paula said, “The writer (whom I refuse to call a journalist) spun a fantastical tale about how I’d been told I was being cut in my dressing room, how I’d lost my cool and blamed Whoopi.”
    “And though the article wasn’t true, though I hadn’t had a dressing-room meltdown and hadn’t blamed Whoopi for any of it, none of that mattered. The tabloids had set the narrative,” she went on speaking of the 2016 Daily Mail report.
    Unlike what had been reported, Paula shared that she and Whoopi had a mature talk about her decision to “step back” from the morning show, adding that Whoopi “understood” her decision.
    “I muscled my way through the rest of the convention and cried myself all the way back to New York,” Paula wrote in her book, recalling the times when reports that Whoopi was “elated” that Paula was “axed” from the show hit the web. “I considered my potential failure on ‘The View’, and that’s when the fear came. In fact, the fear seemed to metastasize, to shapeshift, to turn into something more like a reality. I didn’t wonder whether I was a failure; I knew I was.”
    However, Paula admitted that she used to be having a tension with Whoopi, saying that “there was a growing disconnect between my amazing co-hosts (all of whom I still love) and me.”
    Seemingly blaming her non-partisan stance for the tension, Paula said, “Show after show, the tension mounted. Co-hosts were agitated as I avoided taking sides during interviews, discussions of current events, and political debates. After each taping of the view, I returned to my dressing room fully aware that I was the odd woman out.”

    Whoopi Goldberg Returns to Co-Host 'The View' via Video Call as Coronavirus Precaution

    Instagram

    During the March 18 episode of the talk show, the ‘Ghost’ star admits to making the decision after receiving mixed messages from local officials about the danger of COVID-19.
    Mar 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Whoopi Goldberg has taken to co-hosting her U.S. talk show “The View” from her New York City home after placing herself under self-isolation.
    The “Ghost” star, 64, skipped Tuesday’s (March 17) studio taping of the programme to pay a precautionary visit to her doctor, a year after battling a near-fatal bout of double pneumonia.
    Goldberg returned to TV screens on Wednesday’s episode of “The View”, which she co-presented via a video call from her private residence amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
    On the show, the actress explained to her fellow panellists, Sunny Hostin and Meghan McCain, she had been given the “all clear” to head into work by her doctor, only to then receive mixed messages from local officials, who are battling over plans to potentially place New York City on a temporary lockdown in an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19, which can be deadly to the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
    The lack of a clear directive prompted Goldberg to remain in isolation for her own safety: “My brain said, ‘You know what? Until they can figure out what they’re doing, I should not go in,’ so that’s why I’m here.”
    She joins comedienne and co-host Joy Behar, 77, in choosing to stay away from the Manhattan studio to protect herself from potentially contracting the coronavirus.

    “The View” is just one of two daytime programmes, along with self-help series “The Dr. Oz Show”, still in production in the Big Apple, where they are currently being filmed without the usual studio audience and with limited staffmembers.
