It’s Official: The View is Losing Two Beloved Co-Hosts
It’s hard to believe it’s been 21 years since The View first premiered, and over the years, the show has seen its fair share of changes. But now, as we say goodbye to Paula Faris and Sara Haines, the ABC daytime talk show is about to get another major shake-up. If you’re a fan, you’re probably wondering: Who will replace them, and what does this mean for the future of the show?
According to an insider who spoke exclusively to Closer Weekly, the atmosphere behind the scenes is a mix of excitement and anxiety. "Everyone is stressed out," the source revealed. "They're genuinely happy for Sara and Paula, but there's a lot of uncertainty about who will step in next and whether their own jobs are secure. It’s a big moment for the show, and everyone’s watching closely to see how it all unfolds."

Whoopi Goldberg: Controversy and Concerns
Just a day later, on July 19, Whoopi Goldberg, a long-time co-host since 2007, found herself in the middle of a heated debate with guest Jeanine Pirro, a regular on Fox News. The exchange quickly became headline news, and the tension didn’t go unnoticed by the rest of the cast. "The co-hosts were really worried for Whoopi," the insider revealed. "There was concern that her outspoken nature might put her job at risk. But Whoopi’s been a staple of the show for over a decade, so it’s hard to imagine the table without her." Despite the drama, Whoopi remains a key part of The View, and her passion continues to drive some of the show’s most memorable discussions.
Sara Haines: Moving On to New Adventures
Then, on July 23, Sara Haines, who joined the show in 2016, announced she would be leaving to take on a new role with ABC alongside Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan. Starting in September, Sara will be bringing her charm and energy to a fresh daytime project. "Two new co-hosts to start," the insider hinted, pointing to potential replacements like Ana Navarro, a regular guest host, and Catt Sadler from E!. The View is known for its dynamic lineup, and these changes are just the latest chapter in the show’s ever-evolving story.
