The View Moderator, Whoopi Goldberg Steps In

As the moderator of The View, Whoopi Goldberg often takes cues from the producers to know when to wrap up or prep for a commercial break. Oftentimes, the panel is racing to edge in every little detail they want to be heard. But in a recent episode, Whoopi assertively halted the show to ease a ferocious fight between Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin. When Whoopi was failing to de-escalate the dispute, she shut everything down to interrupt the fuming.

The View Sunny Hostin Gets Out Of Control

With the recent election of President-elect Donald Trump, Sunny Hostin has been snapping at her co-hosts frequently. Undoubtedly, The View panel is primarily feeling dismayed over the current state of the union. When the topic of private school vouchers came up in Hot Topics, it all went downhill. Sunny adamantly was against school vouchers and shared her living experience. She notes that vouchers would steal from the money that is provided for the underserved population. Furthermore, she believes it would only benefit the rich and not effectively provide aid for less fortunate public school students.

Multiple times, she refocused the conversation to get her stance heard while Alyssa Farah Griffin couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Sunny continued to explain her strong opinion while Alyssa interrupted, “I don’t see it…” Sunny said, “Let me just finish this…” Alyssa inserts, “I’m not making this up.” Sunny cuts her off again and proceeds to speak to her point. Alyssa gets louder and begins to plow over Sunny’s voice saying, “If I may get in just to make it a conversation.” Instead of a back-and-forth conversation, Sunny took over the segment and wouldn’t allow other opinions. Previously, this has been an important and angering topic for Sunny. Notably, she wants others to understand the magnitude of a decision to make this change.

Whoopi Shuts The Show Down

Simultaneously, both Alyssa and Sunny shouted over each other to keep the attention on their view. Since the two couldn’t peacefully discuss the matter, Whoopi stomped down on the topic. At that point, no one could hear Sunny or Alyssa’s ideas so Whoopi said, “Because no one can figure out what is being said here right now…” Sunny says, “One final word…” Whoopi angrily announces, “No, there is no final word here…” Abruptly, Whoopi ends the chaos by sending the heated issue to a commercial break instead. However, right or wrong, Alyssa was disturbed she didn’t get a chance to state her views. Alyssa continued to argue and Whoopi wasn’t having it. She scolded both Sunny and Alyssa for their lack of respect for one another on the issue.

After The View returned from break, Whoopi Goldberg calmly said, “We are having a conversation, and sometimes it’s messy.” With the beat given, the panel was able to regroup and continue a more civil conversation.

  1. they should get rid of Sunny already she is such a conceited self-centered self-righteous b****. she just loves herself and she feels she is never wrong about anything grow up already at your age

    1. Sunny is totally fake! She got plastic surgery from her head to her toes! She thinks she knows everything but in fact she is full of sh..t! I can’t stand her along with Joy Behar who does not have one good thing to say about the USA. I have stopped watching their show.

        1. You seriously think the actual next president has time to comment on the view? TDS rears its ugly head. The party of joy, inclusion and unity. What a joke.

          America has spoken.

      1. Absolutely!!! Sonny and Joy need to leave the country!! I’d be honored to help them pack and usher them to their flight!! Get the hell out of here you ignorant bithches!

  2. Sunny needs to take a vacation and reflect on her recent behaviors. She is being so rude and overbearing to everyone. Either get it together or move on. What would Barbara Walter’s say??

  3. I remember when Sunny first appeared on the show, she was quiet and shy and even said that everyone is entitled to their opinion. the love a light switch she stood up for herself against joy and then they became the most obnoxious, rude,hateful and ignorant females in the shows history. if you think back she and Sara were pals then enemies, them they brain washed sweet Sara. If you don’t agree with those 3 then there’s Whoopie. Tb
    hose 4. need to be removed from the show collectively and replaced by ladies who know how to show other dignity, curtesy and respect. I was raised to believe that you won’t get respect you can’t command respect or recieve respect, if you can’t show it to others. And pretty is as pretty does, you can’t be pretty on the outside if you show the world you are not pretty on the inside and these 4 women show nothing but hate and distance for everyone but themselves and there little click, and on national television no less. Shame on y’all!!!

  4. The View needs to be cancelled. At least for the last four years, they have outright lied, told half truths, misinformed their audience and attacked both president elect Donald Trump and conservatives. What is Whoopi still doing here anyway? Didn’t she say she would leave the country if Trump was elected?

    1. turn the channel. do not watch, go do something. Why put yourself through what brings you obvious rage feelings? keep your self imposed frustrations to yourself. I love Woopi 😊

  5. they should cancel the show everyday they talk about the election or something relating to the election its down right sickening. ABC should let it go it make the network look bad it’s over the Republicans have won the house and the senate and these demo-rats are doing everything they can to undermine the incoming administration and it’s sad. when you try to voice your opinion on abc you can’t now you have to email your opinion they should let it go and move on it’s over therefore deal with it.

  6. Hostin is a hostin ,rude,unprofessional dunce. A true racist who just loves the sound of her own voice. The whole concept of this show is No one wants to watch these harpies voice their uneducated,uninformed opinions. Get rid. Of it starting with Hostin Disgusting group of women

  7. What are the ratings for this BS??? I know of no one who watches or is too embarrassed to admit! It’s Garbage television along the lines of Jerry Springer!!

  8. Why continue to let Sunny dominate the conversation? She is not only racist, she is a condescending jerk who thinks she’s better than everyone, including the rest of the panel. Get rid of her and move on from the election, where’s the joy?

  9. If everyone would just stop watching the View their ratings will go down and it will be cancelled. Problem solved. You can thank me later.
