Sunny Hostin Is ‘Sad To Say Goodbye’

Season 28 of The View kicks off this fall, but there is a major shakeup happening with the studio. “After 10 years and 2,143 episodes, this is the last show we’ll do from this studio,” Sunny Hostin shared with viewers during the August 2 episode.

She continued, “We’re sad to say goodbye, but we are thrilled to be moving to a brand-new studio downtown — brand-new, state-of-the-art — and we will see you there in September for the premiere of season 28!”

The first 17 years of the talk show have been taped at ABC Television Studio 23 in New York City. Then, in 2014, it was moved to the ABC Broadcast Center. Now, The View will start Season 28 in an all-new location.

The View Hosts Pack Up For New Location

Sunny spoke about how surreal it has been to pack up her belongings and get ready for the move. “We’ve had to, for the past couple of weeks, box up things, get rid of things … We were allotted, each host, five huge cartons. I took up two, Sara [Haines] took up all five and was looking for more!” she told the audience.

Then she revealed that Ana Navarro had more than 50 pairs of shoes in her dressing room. Ana said she felt “attacked.” She joked, “They are all my shoes, I love all my shoes! I have no children, my children are my shoes. I’m a childless shoe lady!”

The new studio was also mentioned on the official Instagram page for the show. They told fans to get ready for a new “View” before revealing the location of the new studio.

The caption read, “See you in September from our new, state-of-the-art studio in downtown Manhattan when we kick off season 28! Here’s a look behind the scenes of our photo shoot for this past season in studio TV1.”

There is no doubt the old studio in the Upper West Side holds many memories for each of the women on The View. They held groundbreaking interviews with celebrities and made shocking confessions to each other sitting around the table. Now, they’re moving on.

The View will be on hiatus for most of the month of August. It will return for Season 28 on September 3 at 11 a.m. EST on ABC.

  1. Adios Sonni Hostin! America certainly will rest easily knowing we won’t have to see or hear from you anymore. now if only Joy Behar would follow your example

    1. Looks like you ONLY read the clickbait headline. You’re hatred of #TheView made you type such a stupid comment.

    2. you should just not watch the view and leave the panel alone as is. it’s hard to establish the chemistry

  2. I was hoping they took it off the air. Such a propaganda show. Full of racism, and bias content. they don’t respect anyone else’s opinions.

    1. the show is not a news show. it’s a forum for someone to spew hatred and evil, coming from the highly paid panel who are told what to say and to embellish it with even more horrible comments. it never was a good show, but when it was started by BW, at least it was harmless fluff. Now it is full on mean propaganda. A sad commentary on the state of the U.S. that such a program exists. please cancel it.

      1. The View has never been advertised as a news show. Were you speaking about the View or the Fox NEWS Channel which is full of “mean propaganda” and out and out lies?

  3. nothing but disgusting hate in some of these comments. don’t watch the show if you have any problems with it. maybe some should look at their own behavior before or better you
    just keep your mouth shut. don’t you get tired of it? I certainly do.

  4. It’s funny that the people leaving remarks are the maga Republicans voters, they can’t handle the truth!!! Sorry too see Sonny Hostin leave but keep up the good work the view!!

  5. I’m looking forward to seeing the new location. This is the best group of women The View has ever put together.

  6. I love The View, look forward to watching it everyday. Can’t wait for September 3rd. This group of women are fantastic.

  7. I love the view the real they tell what’s on their mind they give their view. it’s the only political news I’ll watch

  8. I love the show with all the different views. For the people with all the ugly comments I suggest you stop watching.

  9. I LOVE this show! I hope the cast stays the same because it’s wonderful the way it is! Clearly, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it! Duh!
