LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The View' hosts are constantly under the radar, facing mockery from their fans for their intolerable banter, disrespectful behavior towards co-hosts on live TV, and especially for airing pre-recorded episodes. Recently, fans brutally slammed American talk show host Whoopi Goldberg for "pretending to be live" during a previously recorded episode.
During the broadcast of 'The View' on Friday, June 9, host Whoopi Goldberg, who is typically absent from Friday's segment, surprised viewers by appearing on the show. She was filling in for co-host Joy Behar, who was unable to attend due to health issues. However, instead of receiving a warm welcome, Whoopi was subjected to mockery from fans who felt she was not being truthful about the episode being pre-recorded. The viewers were left furious when a notification stating 'previously recorded' appeared on their screens, particularly in light of the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump.
‘Great day to not air live’
During a recent episode of 'The View', fans of the show were left disappointed when it became evident that the episode was not being broadcasted live but rather was a pre-recorded episode. This revelation came to light when a small notification appeared on the bottom left corner of the screen, stating "Previously recorded." Following the appearance of the notification, Whoopi Goldberg, one of the hosts, made a statement, saying, "Do not adjust your television set." She then proceeded to announce her presence on Friday's segment, saying, "It is Friday and I am here." The audience initially cheered, but their excitement quickly turned into disappointment when Whoopi explained, "Joy is under the weather." Despite her explanation, the crowd's mood remained somber, and Whoopi responded, "I know, but I'm here."
The segment began with 'The View' hosts, including Sunny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro, engaging in a discussion about the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. They also touched on the White House's plans to support this community as announced through press releases. Unfortunately, the hosts did not address the major news of the day, which was the indictment of Donald Trump. This omission left fans extremely disappointed, and they took to Twitter to express their frustration at the show's failure to discuss the latest news. One Twitter user wrote, "Pretending to be live...bad, bad look, especially today. You should be embarrassed," while another tweeted, "Wow. You advertise live??? Shameful. Or did no one watch the news in the last 16 hours?" Another user criticized the hosts, saying, "Was today's show a rerun? I can't believe these ladies did not talk about Trump. Did I miss something?"
'The View' faced heavy criticism and trolling for being a show that claims to share live news but failed to cover the latest and most crucial news for its viewers. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the episode on Twitter, with one fan stating, "Disappointed in a pre-recorded show with the news of Trump's Indictment! No Hot Topics on Indictment!" Another user commented, "So topical, not. What's that about? Great day to not air live." Yet another fan expressed suspicion about the show, stating, "Whoopi Goldberg says, "Today is Friday," at the start of what is very obviously a prerecorded episode of #TheView. How about trying to be honest with your audience, Whoopi?". The viewers' discontent with the episode prompted them to voice their concerns on social media platforms.
Is Joy Behar OK?
Meanwhile, concerns were also raised about the well-being of 'The View' host Joy Behar, who has been absent from the show in the past week. She was replaced by Ana Navarro in one of the episodes, as Ana typically appears only on Mondays and Fridays. During Thursday's segment, Whoopi addressed the viewers, saying, "Joy is not here today. She's out, she's under the weather." Ana and Whoopi filled in for Joy for two weekly episodes. Fans expressed sadness and concerns upon hearing the news, to which Whoopi teased, "I know. We tried to force it, but, you know, when you're out, you're out."
