Whoopi Goldberg Misses Season 27 Premiere
Whoopi Goldberg’s seat on the panel was surprisingly empty during the Season 27 Premiere of The View. Fortunately, the panel did not waste any time explaining why the beloved moderator was missing. Turns out, she was diagnosed with COVID. While she was reportedly feeling better, she was stuck at home until testing cleared her to get back to work.
For now, Joy Behar stepped in as the temporary moderator.
The View: Joy Behar Hoping To Replace Whoopi Goldberg?
On Tuesday’s episode of The View: Behind the Table podcast, Joy Behar had the pleasure of sitting down with executive producer, Brian Teta. During this installment, Brian asked Joy her thoughts on the new season kicking off without Whoopi Goldberg. Moreover, Joy was asked how she felt being the temporary moderator for a new season.
Turns out, Joy Behar was not inconvenienced in the least. In fact, she was completely enjoying her role as the temporary moderator. Brian asked Joy how she felt when she learned she was stepping into the position for the first time during the Season 27 Premiere.
The TV personality laughed at the question before answering.
Well, I enjoy moderating. It’s no secret that I like it. I had my own show many times, and I like being in that position. I guess maybe I’m a control freak.”
Brian also laughed before agreeing that Joy could be a bit of a control freak. Joy, however, wasn’t offended by it and was happy to accept the title. On Twitter, some viewers speculated it sounded a little like Joy Behar was gunning for Whoopi’s spot at the head of the table.
When Will She Return?
Unfortunately, it is unclear when exactly Whoopi Goldberg will return to the show. Presently, it is looking more and more like it won’t be until sometime next week. When Whoopi spoke on the show via video she revealed she was still testing positive. And, it is unclear as to whether she can return as soon as she tests negative. Or, if they have a policy in place for how long she has to wait after she tests negative.
Regardless, Joy has made it clear she’s happy to stay in the moderator position until Whoopi returns.
