Sunny Hostin is opening up about losing both her mother and father in-law to complications caused by coronavirus.

On Friday (January 8), The View co-host shared that both of her husband’s parents passed away during the holidays.

Sunny told viewers that even after rigorous contact tracing she still doesn’t know how they contracted the virus. “They were both physicians and they were both very careful,” she said. “They didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving with us because we all decided it wasn’t safe.”

She went on to thank the healthcare workers who took care of her in-laws and her fellow co-hosts for their support, as well as remind viewers to take the pandemic seriously. “We want everyone to know that you may think you’re healthy and you won’t be impacted,” she said, “But you may be an asymptomatic carrier. You could put someone you love at risk.”

The Talk co-hosts Sharon Osbourne and Carrie Ann Inaba also recently spoke out about their experiences with coronavirus – click here to see what they had to say.

Joy Behar did not hold back on The View in a moment that has now gone viral on Tuesday (January 5).

The longtime co-host sparred with Meghan McCain, who returned from maternity leave on Monday (January 4).

“On the one hand you have the Republicans,” Joy said, “and on the other hand you have the seditionists…Among the Democrats you have the progressives and the moderates which is de rigueur.”

Meghan interrupted, saying, “Are you kidding me?,” but then, Joy responded, “Excuse me, I’m not done.”

“Well it’s just that’s completely inaccurate. Joy you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave – you missed fighting with me,” Meghan said.

“I did not,” Joy said in response. “I did not miss you. Zero.”

“That’s so nasty,” Meghan retorted. “That’s so rude. That’s, like, so nasty.”

Whoopi Goldberg then interjected, “This is not the way to do it and I’m going to now become Whoopi and say Sara I’d like to hear from you right now.”

Meghan McCain is back.

After taking time off to give birth to her first child, the 36-year-old conservative pop culture and political commentator announced on Wednesday (December 30) that she is returning as a co-host on The View in January.

“It’s almost time…I’m so excited to take my spot as the conservative seat back at the Hot Topics table (virtually) @TheView on Monday! Did I miss anything while on maternity leave?!?” she wrote on Twitter.

Meghan and husband Ben Domenech welcomed baby Liberty back in September. You can see the first photo of baby Liberty here!

She decided not to share photos while she was pregnant, saying she wanted to keep journey private and out of the spotlight. However, she’s since shared some throwback photos.

The View is coming back!

Season 24 of the long-running television show is set to premiere on Tuesday (September 8) at 11 a.m. ET, ABC announced on Friday (September 4).

Sara Haines will be returning as a co-host, having already been on the show from 2016 to 2018 for Seasons 20-21. She also co-hosted ABC News’ GMA 3: Strahan, Sara & Keke more recently.

“I grew up watching The View, and what this show stands for – different women, different backgrounds and different points of view – just speaks to my soul. I feel like I caught a shooting star twice. To once again be a part of the dialogue where I can share, discuss and disagree alongside these powerful and strong women is a tremendous honor. I feel very lucky,” she said in a statement.

Season 24 will premiere with the majority of the co-hosts – Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Meghan McCain – appearing from home amid the pandemic, with Sara broadcasting from the show’s NYC studio.

Guests in the upcoming season include Michael Cohen, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Jane Fonda, Robin Roberts, former Ohio Governor John Kasich, Eva Longoria, Gabrielle Union, Pete and Chasten Buttigieg, Brian Stelter, Janelle Monáe and Gabourey Sidibe, Evan Rachel Wood and Chelsea Clinton.

Sara Haines is returning to The View!

The 42-year-old star, who co-hosted for two seasons from the fall of 2016 to the summer of 28, will return for Season 24 of the ABC daytime talk show, Variety reported Friday (August 14).

Prior to The View, Sara was an anchor for GMA Weekend.

She is set to the fill the seat at the table previously occupied by Abby Huntsman, who left the show in January of 2020.

Sara filled in occasionally on the show in recent months alongside co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Meghan McCain and Sunny Hostin, virtually engaging in conversations at home amid the pandemic. She is now the third co-host in the show’s history to make an official return, following Rosie O’Donnell and Joy.

Here’s the real reason why Abby Huntsman quit the daytime talk show…

The View hasn’t been without controversy over the years, it appears as if one of the show’s most recently departed co-hosts, Abby Huntsman, left over a reported toxicity.

In the new book, “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View” by Ramin Setoodeh, we learned about the conversations Abby had with producers.

“Abby, who had spent just over a year on The View, reached her decision after multiple conversations with ABC executives about the toxicity at the root of the show,” an excerpt from the book read (via Us Weekly). “When they didn’t respond to her, she told them that she’d like to move on, according to sources with knowledge of those conversations. Abby didn’t think that anyone at ABC was looking out for her.”

Abby announced her decision to leave the show earlier this year, and this is the reason she gave at the time.

Joy Behar is planning to retire from The View when her contract ends in the summer of 2022.

The 77-year-old co-host revealed the news in “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of ‘The View’” by Variety’s Ramin Setoodeh.

“I have a three-year contract,” Joy said in the book. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t leave if I want to, because they can’t really do anything to me at this point. I don’t see myself staying for more [time]. That’s it! I could be wrong. If I’m as fabulous in [2022] as I am now, I’ll think about. But the chances of that happening…You know, time marches on. I’m not a kid.”
