At the end of Wednesday’s broadcast, Whoopi shared some sad news with viewers.

She announced the hosts would be saying goodbye to one of their View family members at the end of this season, which wraps up later this week.

Whoopi told viewers: “There’s another big change happening on The View next season.”

The moderator revealed “it’ll be the first season without” one of their crew members, the show’s “outside property manager.”

In a sweet note, Whoopi shared that he’s been part of the talk show since it premiered in 1997.

“[He’s] been at ABC for like 44 years, has been at The View since day one,” the actress said. “He’s also been a firefighter for the past 25 [years] and is now a chief at the Carlsbad Fire Department.”

She said as she looked out at the crew member in the audience: “He’s retiring from The View, and it won’t be the same with out you, D.”

This announcement arrived just one day ahead of another big reveal that’s set to take place on The View.

Earlier this week, the show teased that its new full-time host would be announced on Thursday.

The newcomer will fill the seat that was left empty after Meghan McCain’s exit last year.

Despite The View’s official hosting announcement not arriving until Thursday, DailyMail.com reported the identity of the newcomer last week.

Three sources informed the news outlet that Alyssa Farah Griffin, who has often guest co-hosted on the show, will be joining in a permanent capacity.

The insiders said Alyssa will be joining Sara Haines, Whoopi, Joy Behar, and Sunny Hostin for The View’s 26th season, which begins in September.

One of the sources said about the news: “My jaw dropped when I was told that she was the pick. It makes no sense.

“Part of me wishes they just leaned into MAGA and hired Kimberly Guilfoyle, at least it would better reflect part of the audience and there would be fireworks every day.”

Another insider told the news outlet: “Her soon-to-be co-hosts are very upset. They feel she isn’t authentic and changes her opinions based on who her paymaster is.

“Ana Navarro especially feels let down as they are hiring someone who was an essential part of the movement that destabilized this country.”

“Her appointment will also cost us bookings,” a third source said. “Wanda Sykes pulled out because she didn’t want to be on the show with her.”

Many slammed the show over their reported choice of new conservative host, with some even threatening to boycott the program.

One blasted on social media: “I’ll be quitting #TheView permanently!”

“Every day now I am going to wake up in a RAGE,” another said about the news.

A third insisted: “Nope to @Alyssafarah.

“Keep her off your air @TheView. She does not have an ounce of sincerity in her, not an ounce.”
