Thank you, this is the premiere show of our 27th year on the air. I was here for all of it, except for two, when they canned me.
When they sacked my behind,” Behar said. “As you can see, Whoopi is not here, she has COVID,” she continued. “Yes, it’s back, it’s back, but she’s on the mend, she’s on the tail end, and she’ll probably be back this week.
But, sorry she’s not here, for those of you that were looking forward to seeing her.” Goldberg has missed tapings of “The View” before, including in November 2022, when she was forced to miss several episodes after contracting COVID-19.
