As for Goldberg and Behar, neither has made an official statement since the news broke, but sources close to both hosts suggest that they are already exploring new opportunities. Goldberg, who has a successful film and television career outside of The View, is reportedly considering a return to acting full-time. Behar, meanwhile, is said to be working on a new book and considering launching her own podcast.
“Whoopi and Joy are both incredibly talented and resilient,” said one insider. “This isn’t the end for them by any means. In fact, it might be the beginning of something even bigger.”
While their next moves are still uncertain, one thing is clear: Goldberg and Behar’s departure marks the end of an era for The View. The show, which has long been defined by their fiery personalities and unapologetic opinions, will undoubtedly have a very different feel in Season 28.
With Goldberg and Behar out, ABC is reportedly planning to revamp the show with a fresh lineup of hosts. While no official announcements have been made, rumors are swirling about potential replacements. Some of the names being floated include conservative commentator Candace Owens, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, and actress and activist Alyssa Milano.
