The announcement has, predictably, sent shockwaves through The View’s cast and crew, many of whom have become household names thanks to the show’s high-profile platform. Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, both veterans of the show, reportedly took the news with a mix of surprise and defiance.
“Whoopi’s reaction was exactly what you’d expect,” said one staffer. “She rolled her eyes, sighed deeply, and said, ‘Well, I guess it was time. But cancel culture? Really?’”
Joy Behar, never one to mince words, was reportedly more direct in her response. “They’re canceling The View? Good luck with that. I’ve survived worse than this,” Behar allegedly told producers. “This is just another day in the life of Joy.”
Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines, both newer additions to the panel, are said to be in shock but hopeful about what’s next for their careers. “I mean, it’s not every day that you get to be part of something as iconic as The View,” Hostin reportedly said. “But maybe my next gig will involve fewer shouting matches and more actual conversations.”
Producers, meanwhile, are scrambling to tie up loose ends and figure out how to wrap up the show’s final season. “There’s still some hope that the backlash will be so strong, ABC might reconsider,” said one insider. “But honestly, after 28 seasons, we’re kind of surprised we made it this far.”
With The View officially canceled, many are wondering what could possibly fill the void left by the show’s iconic status in daytime television. After all, The View wasn’t just a talk show—it was a cultural institution. It gave rise to a number of similar panel shows, and its influence on the genre is undeniable.
But ABC’s CEO insists that the network has something fresh and exciting in the works. “We’re committed to bringing something new to our daytime lineup—something that speaks to the viewers who are tired of the same old arguments and want something a bit lighter.”
Rumors are already swirling about what might take The View’s place, with some speculating that ABC is considering a shift towards more lifestyle-focused programming. Others have suggested that the network could be eyeing a talk show with a more humorous bent, similar to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which recently wrapped its final season.
