As the ladies of The View enjoy a brief hiatus this week, fans have devised a theory about a major panel shake-up that could be on its way.
The daytime show, which is set to return to ABC screens on July 11, is currently hosted by moderator Whoopi, 66, Joy Behar, 79, Sara Haines, 44, Sunny Hostin, 53, and Anna Navarro, 50.
Following this week’s short break, episodes will air as usual until the season wraps up on August 5.
However, some fans believe that Whoopi, who has been a co-host since 2007, could be on her way out.
It comes following a series of on-air blunders from the Oscar winner, and her controversial comments about the Holocaust earlier this year.
Online, one fan proposed that the show is preparing to bring on a conservative panelist.
Another noted: “They should announce who is getting the conservative seat before they leave for a break!”
It comes after Republican panelist Meghan McCain quit the show in July 2021.
Earlier this week, The New York Post reported that the show is preparing to announce its next conservative co-host before the season ends in August.
According to the outlet, 33-year-old Alyssa Farah Griffin is the frontrunner.
She was the communications director for former President Donald Trump and has made numerous guest appearances since Meghan quit.
Many viewers will be ready for a shake-up because they are unhappy with some of Whoopi’s on-screen comments this year.
One social media user wrote: “They [The View producers] probably have some secret plan behind this big announcement, although all we want is for Whoopi to get fired.”
“Yes!” another agreed.
WHOOPS A DAISY
Last month, The View fanatics launched an online petition to fire the longstanding host.
Whoopi got into hot water with fans in January after she claimed the Holocaust, which involved the murder of six million Jews and other victims, was not “about race.”
She was briefly suspended from the talk show, and many viewers haven’t forgiven the actress for her remark.
A petition circulated on Change.org, insisting that Whoopi be let go of her hosting duties for her “repulsive actions.”
BAHAMAS BLOOPERS
Last week, The View broadcasted from the Bahamas to celebrate the 25th season of ABC’s daytime mainstay.
However, some fans were not too happy with the ladies and accused them of flaunting their wealth as they shared social media pictures of themselves living it up at the beach.
Meanwhile, Whoopi made a series of on-air blunders.
While introducing guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, Whoopi had a bit of trouble pronouncing the name of their podcast, Las Culturistas.
After trying and only being able to say it as Las Culturastas instead, she eventually just gave up.
In another episode, Whoopi forgot her co-host’s Sunny’s name after introducing musical guest, Ne-Yo.
She also pronounced Saturday Night Live’s Chloe Fineman’s name incorrectly
Those are just a few of the failures Whoopi experienced in one week.
She has also been slammed for her rude behavior lately after she snapped at Sunny for not revealing enough about her upcoming movie.
MEGHAN MADE WAY
Since abruptly leaving The View, Meghan has slated the show as a toxic work environment.
The daughter of the late Sen. John McCain also said that she felt there was no political balance for the audience at the home.
The View is yet to make an official announcement about a potential new co-host.
