An Insider Speaks On The Status Of The View

According to the source, “The larger issue is that while the show continues to be profitable for ABC and its affiliated TV stations, the audiences are declining every year and they’re getting older every year.” Undoubtedly, unsettling news for cohosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin. Furthermore, the insider adds, “That’s not a reversible trend and it’s why there’s a ticking clock on this franchise.”

However, they note, “With a female in the presidential race, The View can be an important place to discuss the election and even to hear from politicians themselves ahead of November’s vote.” Additionally, saying, “The next four months are everything as far as maximizing interest in the show and the team they have in place right now.” Seemingly, to save the show it will take a big showing over the next year. Reportedly, the source says, “They need big guests and they need to make news and if they can manage that, everybody will still have their jobs in 2025.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin And The Other Panelists’ Jobs May Be At Risk

Furthermore, Alyssa Farah Griffin and the current panelist are speaking their beliefs, and many things have changed through the years for The View. Although change is necessary, the jobs of the panelists may be in jeopardy. For instance, the insider says, “The fact that Barbara Walters has long since passed makes ending the show outright a lot easier.” Further making their case, they add, “The decision-makers at the network and at ABC news were afraid to mess with the show too much while Barbara was alive but now, all bets are off.” Sadly, the source indicates, “The show is profitable, but it’s trending downward and everybody involved knows it.”

    1. Yes, and she doesn’t have the snotty attitude that Meghan McCain has. She’s smart, articulate and has a personable demeanor.

    2. I agree also. I like Alyssa very much! She’s very sincere and I believe she will be back in September. Everyone on the panel were very happy and excited to be moving to a new location! (new studio) So I’m very sure The View will be back in September. I have no doubts at all.

    3. I sure hope that the VIEW continues with Alyssa. I also thoroughly enjoy the visitors and the general discussions. Only complaint is when the panelists speak over each other. I am certainly looking forward to watching the VIEW as we approach November Elections.

      1. Thia is me.. I watched the view every day .. how I started my day.. … but as soon. as this election started .. they changed .. they talk about Trump’s behavior but some of the things they would say crossed the fine line of hate talk… I can say at first I have my fav picks , we all do but each and everyone brought something positive to the talk .. now it’s just back bitte and it really discouraged me .. this country is so divided and against each other that it feels like at any moment it’s gonna be lit on fire and burn.. and we don’t want that, I have kids with kids and I love America borned and raised chicken fried country hick backwood dirt road queen with my back road kings amd princess I want my kids to know freedom is not free and to understand just cause I dont agree with everything you do that we as people need to find a comman place to meet and work our problems out … I don’t watch the view any more I was really let down by the way these lady’s turned in to what they was upset about with trump … we have to set examples not turn in to what we don’t want to invite in… if you act like a duck quack like a duck… your a duck.. and name calling back biting getting so upset you. cross the hate line.. sometimes we can’t get back… I don’t think I will be letting these lady’s in my home until the election is done but understand this words stick longer than bruses.. what trump did he did but these ladies became just like he is .. out of control.. and I hate it I was really freaked out about the way they treated there guest and the things they said … they got lost and I hope it don’t lead them to somewhere they can’t come back from… smh

        1. Bye….they reflect just what you see as a problem in the country. What ought they to do? Ignore what is top of mind of all who is worried about losing our democratic history going forward? It’s not Sunday school or a case of social chit-chat with the ‘ladies who lunch’.

  1. I agree with the answer above she is very interesting to listen to, and although our opinions may not always remain similar, her logic to her answers, makes total sense to me as well. I would hope that she will be back to share the view with all the other hosts that we have had this year.

  2. I’m a huge fan of The View… faithfully following the show since the beginning. I would hate to see it go. I am a staunch Democrat but I do like Alyssa’s views. So much so that I’m glad that I can appreciate her views and not Megan. She is a very angry 😠 person. It’s one thing to express your true self whether or not you are a Democrat or a Republican…but, to show anger when you are talking turns me off!!!

  3. I agree, as a Democrat too Alyssa has proven to be a great addition to the Views panel. The insight she brings with sound reason and logical interpretation has been truly enlightening.
    I would choose Alyssa over snobby not so Sunny any day if anyone didn’t return. I like Anna also.

    1. I agree Patricia, Alyssa is well versed in all of her opponions and said and done with grace unlike some others. I hope Ayssa as well as Anna stay apart of the View panel for years along with Sarah,Joy and Whoopi

  4. Shoukd be taken off air
    It’s all anti republican and bashing people
    Not watching never will
    Show was never like that til Whoopi
    Who has become a
    Critic of everyone
