Whoopi Goldberg tested positive for COVID and will be absent from The View until she recovers. A day after it was confirmed she had fallen ill, the co-hosts of the ABC daytime talk show addressed Goldberg’s absence. “Good morning everyone and welcome to The View.
Unfortunately, Whoopi is out with COVID,” Joy Behar said at the top of the hour-long program. “So rest up and get back here Miss, when you feel better.” Behar served as moderator in place of Goldberg with Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin rounding out the table.
The co-hosts didn’t update on Goldberg’s current condition but at the end of the show, Behar once again sent the EGOT actor well-wishes. “Well, that’s our show for today.
