The view goes on and goes up. The ladies announced on this morning’s episode that they will mark the end of season 27 by switching to a new studio for season 28.
Sunny Hostin broke the exciting news on this morning’s episode when she told viewers, “We’re excited to be moving to a brand new studio downtown. Brand new, state of the art, and we’ll see you there in September for season 28 of The view!”
Later in the segment, Alyssa Farah Griffin also couldn’t help but rave about the new space and say, “Our new building is so cool. Like, state-of-the-art everything, the studio is nice.”
She then admitted with a laugh, “It was what I expected it to be when I got here and it wasn’t.”
After Hostin echoed, “You’re going to love it,” Ana Navarro tried to give a shout-out to everyone who made the exciting upgrade possible. Unfortunately, her words of gratitude were cut short.
“You know what, we have to, there are so many people who have worked so hard to make this seamless for us…” she began, but before she could continue, Behar interjected, exclaiming, “Okay, save Emmy- the number.”
The audience was shocked, but so was Navarro, who looked straight into the camera with an exaggerated expression of surprise before turning to her co-host and saying, “You’re really…” but she was cut off again by Behar, who inexplicably transitioned into a chat about Navarro’s “birthday present” to her … which came months before her October birthday.
“It’s not your birthday. Your birthday is October 5th!” Hostin exclaimed after Behar bragged that her co-hosts would be “so jealous” of Navarro’s present. Behar insisted, “Because now it’s my birthday. She doesn’t have to give me anything on my birthday because she gave me this wonderful gift.”
After all the fuss, Navarro revealed what the gift had been: A framed copy of The New York Times announces Donald Trumps conviction. We can’t think of a better gift for Behar — and thankfully, she confirmed it’s coming with her to the new studio.
The view airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
