Whoopi Goldberg was absent from the Season 27 premiere episode of The View today due to yet another case of Covid, though many usual viewers throughout the country will miss the show too: The View did not air today in markets impacted by the ongoing clash between Disney and Spectrum.
In New York City, for example, where the daytime series originates, viewers attempting to tune into the show were greeted with the same Spectrum message that’s been on the ABC affiliate channel all weekend: “The Walt Disney Company, owner of this channel, has removed their programming from Spectrum,” the message begins. “We offered Disney a fair deal, and yet they continue to demand an excessive increase.”

In any case, here’s what those Spectrum viewers missed during the initial moments of today’s View: Co-host Joy Behar, sitting in the moderator seat usually occupied by Goldberg, began the show by noting the new set (including a big, shiny table that, she said, resembles a casino blackjack table). “This is the premiere show of our 27th year,” Behar said. “I was here for all of it, except for two when they canned me, when they sacked my behind.”
Behar then explained Goldberg’s absence. “She has Covid,” the co-host said. “It’s back. It’s back. But she’s on the mend, she’s at the tail end and she’ll probably be back this week.”
Goldberg suffered a bout with Covid at the start of 2022 and then again in November 2022. When she returned last time, she said the second go-round was especially

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Whoopi Goldberg is defending Hasan Minhaj, who has ignited a fierce debate after admitting to embellishing stories in his stand-up routines over the years. “That’s what we do,” Goldberg said on “The View” about the role of the comedian (via Entertainment Weekly). “That’s what we do, we tell stories and we embellish them.” “If you’re gonna hold a comic to the point where you’re gonna check up on stories, you have to understand, a lot of it is not the exact thing that happened because why would we tell exactly what happened? It ain’t that interesting,” she also said, adding later, “There’s information that we will give you as comics that will have grains of truth, but don’t take it to the bank.
