Whoopi Goldberg Absent from The View, Currently in Italy
New York, NY - Fans of *The View* were met with a surprise this morning as co-host Whoopi Goldberg was absent from her usual seat. Joy Behar, typically off on Mondays, stepped in as moderator, leading the discussion. Ana Navarro filled Behar's usual spot at the Hot Topics table.
The absence of Goldberg sparked immediate curiosity among viewers. The last time she appeared on the show was last Thursday, where she engaged in a discussion with Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The reason for Goldberg's absence was quickly addressed by Behar at the beginning of the show. Goldberg is currently in Italy, where she is accepting an award for her memoir, *Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me*. Behar jokingly expressed envy, adding that Goldberg would be out for the entire week.
Viewers can expect Goldberg to return to the show on Monday, June 30th. *The View* airs weekdays on ABC at 11/10c. The show is also available for streaming on the ABC website with a valid cable login, as well as on platforms like Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV.
BNN's Perspective: While the absence of a key personality like Whoopi Goldberg is always noticeable, the show's ability to seamlessly adapt and continue the discussion is a testament to its format. The news of Goldberg's award and her temporary absence provides a welcome change of pace, and we look forward to her return.
