THE View fans have raged online, claiming the talk show should be canceled and blaming the hosts for its fluctuating ratings.
Social media users called for the daytime TV show to be axed due to the hosts’ controversial views.
As tensions continue to rise on The View between the panel — including Whoopi Goldberg, 68, Sara Haines, 46, Joy Behar, 81, Sunny Hostin, 55, Ana Navarro, 52, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35 — with their heated arguments policies, fans are weighing in at home.
However, they are not joining the conversation, but rather begging ABC to remove The View from its schedule.
“Cancel The View now,” wrote one user X.
“Can we cancel The View? I have never seen such hateful human beings,” said another.
MORE FAN REACTIONS
“@ABCnetwork cancels The View. It’s disgusting!!!” a third pleaded.
“@Disney for real, cancel The View,” echoed a fourth.
“The women in the exhibit are horrible. They lead the pact for this type of behavior,” added a fifth, sharing again a debate that women had on the program about President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the electoral race.
“Who is their audience? How is this show still on the air?” a sixth wondered.
“OK!! who thinks it’s time to cancel and end the show THE VIEW. Face it, it hasn’t been the same since Barbara Walters left it, how many years ago. It’s literally a circus. By that time, the show would have already been cancelled,” said a seventh.
The View – which began in August 1997 – has long been known as an open space for the all-female panel to express their opinions on politics and Hot Topics, and the panel regularly invites celebrities and political guests to join their discussions.
But the show and its hosts have received significant backlash over the years, as viewers often disagree with what is said on camera.
This has been reflected in the series’ rollercoaster ratings over the past few months, leading many to wonder how long the show will last.
In September 2023, fans accused Whoopi and her co-hosts of staging a shocking exchange between her and Alyssa to boost ratings.
The preview hosts
The View is an American talk show that airs on ABC from 11 am to 12 pm EST, Monday through Friday. It features a diverse group of women discussing the day’s “Hot Topics,” ranging from hard-hitting news to celebrity gossip. The six co-hosts include:
During the episode, Whoopi abruptly interrupted a serious argument with Alyssa to ask if she was pregnant.
Alyssa was completely surprised by Whoopi’s question, which The View veteran said she asked because she “felt a vibe.”
The moment went viral, making many think Whoopi’s sudden outburst was planned.
“Whoopi asking if AFG was pregnant was staged… It was supposed to make headlines and make news. Why for ratings, in this business everything is about ratings, even your local and national news,” one person theorized in a popular message board.
“If this was NOT staged, then I have to believe Whoopi had absolutely no respect for AFG for just blurting something like that out on National Live TV,” reacted another.
Rumors are circulating that Whoopi and Joy are retiring soon, although they claim they have no intention of stepping aside just yet.
However, they have been reducing their time in the studio, as Whoopi has every Friday off, while Joy has Mondays off.
