THE VIEW fans think they have figured out when the show will announce a new host.
Reddit fans have spotted clues about the potential shake-up after Whoopi Goldberg has exuded rude behavior and suffered major blunders on the show.
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 and when.
They recently made their way to the Bahamas to celebrate 25 years of the show.
The daytime show, which is set to return to ABC on July 11, is currently hosted by moderator Whoopi, 66, Joy Behar, 79, Sara Haines, 44, Sunny Hostin, 53, and Ana Navarro, 50.
After the week-long break, the ABC show is set to air all-new episodes until the end of the season on August 5.
However, when the new season returns, the host panel could see a different face or two.
Many fans believe Whoopi could be on her way out following a series of on-air fails and bad behavior.
Although nothing is confirmed, many viewers think that she could be out and a new host will be announced.
Fans on Reddit had their theories on when the show could potentially replace Whoopi.
“They will likely announce a new host at the end of July or early August before they go on their summer hiatus. They probably have some secret plan behind this big announcement, although all we want is for Whoopi to get firedddddddd,” wrote one platform user.
Another chimed in, “The women will be back July 11th. They will do live shows until the first week of August to finish out season 26. Then they will be off for Summer break until September. Also, they should announce who is getting the conservative seat before they leave for the break!”
So a new host could be announced around August 5, just as the season ends.
NEW HOST?
As talk of a new host swirls online, fans think the show will bring on another conservative host.
“They should announce who is getting the conservative seat before they leave for a break!” one fan noted.
It comes after Republican panelist Meghan McCain quit the show in July 2021.
Since leaving the show, the former host has slammed the show for a toxic work environment.
She also felt that there was no political balance for the audience at home.
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.
Reddit fans also begged the show to bring back guest host, Ana Navarro, 50, to replace Whoopi permanently.
WHOOPS-I
While the show jetted off to the Bahamas, Whoopi made a lot of on-air blunders.
She was also rude to some guests and her co-hosts, which has caused fans to rally around her being fired.
The actress mispronounced guests’ names, told the audience to settle down after a guest arrived practically shirtless, and suffered a mishap where her cards blew all over the place as the wind took them.
She even forgot one of her co-host’s names.
Fans also don’t like how Whoopi continues to invite guests back to co-host the show and then never makes good on the promise.
She also told the seasoned host, Joy Behar to be “quick” with a story she was telling.
Whoopi suffered blunders all week that caused fans to react negatively towards her.
The View airs weekdays at 11 am on ABC.
