Is Whoopi Goldberg Still On ‘The View’?

There was a lot to unpack on this morning’s episode of The View — and one co-host was noticeably missing from the chat.

Whoopi Goldberg, who typically works Mondays through Thursdays, was not in her assigned seat this morning. Instead, Joy Behar — who is usually off on Mondays — stepped in as moderator to host a discussion about President Donald Trump‘s decision to bomb nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend, while Ana Navarro took over Behar’s spot at the center of the Hot Topics table.

The last time we saw Goldberg was on last Thursday’s (June 18) episode of The View when she argued with Alyssa Farah Griffin, claiming life in America is just as bad for Black people as it is for people in Iran.

So, why wasn’t Goldberg on The View today? And when will she be back? Luckily, we have you covered. Keep reading for everything we know!

Is Whoopi Goldberg still on The View?

Yes, Goldberg is still a co-host on The View! She was just missing from today’s episode. Behar addressed Goldberg’s absence at the top of this morning’s broadcast, revealing that the EGOT is in Italy accepting an award for her memoir Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me.

“We are all jealous of Whoopi today because she’s in Italy. I hope it’s 100 degrees,” Behar joked. “She’s in Italy accepting an award for her book Bits and Pieces so she will be out this week.”

When is Whoopi Goldberg coming back to The View?

According to Behar, Goldberg will be out this entire week, meaning we likely won’t see her back at the Hot Topics table until Monday, June 30.
