Television network A.B.C has reportedly decided not to renew the contracts of longtime co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar on The View, signaling a major shake-up for the popular daytime talk show. The decision comes amid claims that the network wants to distance itself from what insiders have described as “toxic” elements within the show’s dynamic.
Goldberg and Behar, both known for their outspoken political views and heated on-air debates, have been central figures on The View for years. However, tensions behind the scenes and increasing backlash from audiences and executives alike may have played a role in A.B.C’s decision.
According to sources close to the production, network executives believe that the show has strayed too far into divisive and polarizing discussions, alienating certain viewers. By parting ways with Goldberg and Behar, A.B.C is reportedly aiming to reshape The View with fresh perspectives and a more balanced tone.
Fans of the longtime hosts have expressed disappointment, with some accusing the network of censoring strong female voices. Meanwhile, critics argue that the show had become overly confrontational and needed a revamp.
As the network searches for new panelists, questions remain about the future direction of The View and whether it can maintain its relevance without two of its most iconic personalities.
