‘The View’ Is Making a Big Change for the Upcoming Season
Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors
The View is undergoing some major changes. During the season 27 finale, which aired on Friday, August 2, roundtable co-host Sunny Hostin revealed that the iconic morning talk show is getting a new home.
“After 10 years and 2,143 episodes, this is the last show we’ll do from this studio,” said Hostin. “We’re sad to say goodbye but we are thrilled to be moving to a brand-new studio downtown — brand-new, state-of-the-art — and we will see you there in September for the premiere of Season 28.”
Upon The View‘s premiere in 1997, the show was taped and broadcast from ABC Television Studio 23 in New York City, which was also home to the set of the famed soap opera All My Children. The View moved studios in 2014, taping at the ABC Broadcast Center.
According to the ladies, the process of relocating to the new studio has already begun. Hostin then began sharing details of the move, saying, “We’ve had to, for the past couple of weeks, box up things, get rid of things… We were allotted, each host, five huge cartons. I took up two, Sara [Haines] took up all five and was looking for more!”
She also revealed some things that co-host Ana Navarro can’t live without.
“And Ana please don’t say that you were a purger, because I think you had over 50 pairs of shoes in your room,” Hostin joked.
Navarro justified her large shoe collection, saying, “They are all my shoes, I love all my shoes! I have no children, my children are my shoes. I’m a childless shoe lady!”
The View‘s 28th season will premiere this September after Labor Day on ABC.
