Recently, The View fans expressed their disapproval when taken off guard by a schedule change to the show. Many fans began to discuss how the show switched to reruns without notice.

What Is Going On With The View?

Unbeknownst to viewers, The View kicked off the holidays earlier than expected. While fans thought they would be seeing new material this week, the content provided has been old episodes. After the initial shock, fans ran to the Internet to find out what was happening. Although fans seem in the dark, Whoopi Goldberg, Ana Navarro, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin will all be back in the new year. Now, they are aware that this week and next will be full of reruns from the show while the hosts take off to celebrate the holidays. And they will ring in the New Year by returning in January 2024.

Fans Aren’t Happy About The Change

On Reddit, one user opened a thread titled: “Looks like The View is off this week…” Then they added, “I figured we would get this week and then just off next week? Did they even announce this?” Other users replied to the thread:

  • Seemingly, one user had the answer, “They take off the last two weeks of the year. The Darlene Love show is always the finale. I don’t know if they announced it or not. Brian Teta did on the podcast.”
  • “I wish they would re-run the older shows, not from this season, but back in the first few seasons before they became the majority hot topics.”
  • “@TheView just channel surfed, and I see where you are presenting an encore show from September. Don’t know why you would do that.”

Fans Think The View Hosts Get Too Much Time Off

However many of the Reddit users were focusing on the amount of time that The View hosts tend to take off. Most were disgruntled by the frequency as well. Notably, the show has substitute hosts knowing that the regular hosts have many things that require them to be absent, but holiday vacation is for the full panel.

  • “Yep just another week off like they just came off a long vacation they get way to much time off for what they make. So they will be gone till when Jan 2 now must be nice.”
  • “I agree they take a lot of time off haha.”
  • “Whilst they b*tch and moan about how the younger generations ‘just dont wanna work anymore’ even though all younger generations are asking/demanding is a decent, liveable wage for a days work.”
  • “Yep just another week off. Like they just came off a long vacation they get way to much time off for what they make. So they will be gone till when Jan 2 now must be nice.”
