The View had a horrible surprise mid-show today as two of their hosts learned they had tested positive for COVID. Hosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin were asked to leave the show in the middle of the segment by a producer. The four were waiting to interview Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris was on set backstage waiting.
Watch the shocking moment unfold in real-time below:

What’s The View’s COVID Procedure?
Twitter was quick to point the oddity of the situation and ask a few questions about the proper procedure.
Note that they’re both vaccinated and didn’t show any signs of illness earlier in interview, so it’s hopefully just breakthrough case with little to no symptoms.

Why would a show announce mid-show someone tested positive? Wouldn’t you want that info before a show starts?
Lol how do the View hosts test positive mid show? What exactly is the process over there? Rogan tests people before every podcast and no one gets their results mid show.

Others wondered if The View and its audience would have to go by the procedures some schools undergo when they have a positive case:
According to the rules demanded by teachers unions, the other two hosts of The View are also required to quarantine at home for 8 days now. https://t.co/92deoelfDI

A View On The View
I wish Ms. Navarro and Ms. Hostin a speedy recovery.
Thankfully they are both vaccinated. However, I can’t help but wonder, what is the point of The View?
It seems little more than a show for the Hollywood left to bash everyday Americans. They always have a “token” Christian woman on set, usually to harass and harangue.
I know The View isn’t made for me, and I never watch it apart from the clips, but the show seems like more of a headache than it is worth.
I know Joy Behar is supposed to be a “comedian,” but I find her to be aggressively unfunny. About the only decent host, the show ever had was Barbara Walters. The best version of the View was the one from late-9os SNL. Check it out below:
