A new report indicates that ABC’s “The View” will not air live on June 30 or the days that follow. Supposedly, this is because all five co-hosts, including Sunny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, are currently on hiatus.
These five recently took a Memorial Day weekend vacation, and now, as Decider describes it, they’re leaving for an extended Independence Day vacation.
“New episodes of The View will return on Monday, July 10. In the meantime, we hope they are soaking in the summer sun and attending as many barbecues as they can during their week off,” Decider wrote, the report further added that the show will air reruns during their time off.
According to both ABC and Decider, the lineup for the next while is:
Friday, June 30 — originally aired May 2, 2023 — Ellie Kemper; Deborah Roberts

Whoopi Goldberg announced “a new man behind the camera” last week while holding back emotions.
Goldberg began the segment with an announcement that the network and show have undergone some adjustments, including the addition of a new cast to “The View.”
Before commencing the customary conversation, Goldberg introduced the newest member of the crew.
“We got a new man behind the camera. Hey Paul,” She said, as the other members of the table followed, saying “Hi, Paul.” The table further spoke about the writer’s strike that has taken down many shows in Hollywood.
Whoopi held up a notecard as the program was drawing to a close and she welcomed viewers back from the commercial break, asking a producer if this was the moment she had been dreading – the announcement of the show’s producer, Rob Bruce Baron, leaving.
Baron has worked in television for over forty years and has been employed by “The View” for all twenty-six seasons.
“Is this this? Ohh, yeah,” she exclaimed with tears in her eyes as she regarded the notecard.
“Rob is retiring today after 40 years in television. Rob has been with The View since Day 1, 26 seasons.”
“Don’t leave!” Whoopi told Rob as she held back tears.
Whoopi’s statement that “American Idol” was the “beginning of the downfall of society” sparked a dispute from executive producer Brian Teta and criticism from her colleagues.
Iam Tongi, an 18-year-old vocalist from Hawaii, won Season 21 of “American Idol” Goldberg began this entire ordeal with a segment in which he elaborated on this fact.
“We, as a society, love to watch stuff to judge folks,” Goldberg said. “You know, I’ve always thought that the beginning of the downfall of society was with ― what’s the name of that show? I always tell you that,” she continued on, looking at Teta.
“ABC’s ‘American Idol,’” Retorted Teta as the crowd began to laugh. ABC notably is also the network that airs “The View.”
