The View was forced to improvise Friday after two of its hosts tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Friday’s episode was underway when co-host Sunny Hostin and guest host Ana Navarro were asked to leave their seats just moments before sitting down with Harris for her first in-person talk show appearance since taking office.
When the show returned, co-host Joy Behar announced that Hostin and Navarro had tested positive for COVID-19. The interview with Harris went ahead with remaining hosts Behar and Sara Haines, although Harris appeared on the show remotely in light of the news.

And on they went…
“I just want to say, I hope you’re in a safe spot right now,” Behar told Harris. “We did everything we could to make sure that you were safe, ’cause we value you so much.”
“Sunny and Ana are strong women and I know they’re fine, but it really also does speak to the fact that they’re vaccinated and vaccines really make all the difference because otherwise we would be concerned about hospitalization and worse,” Harris responded.
Harris then called upon Americans to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I’ve been watching, like many of you, with heartache, with the videos of people who are in an ICU bed, who did not get vaccinated, pleading with their family members,” Harris said.
“The vaccine is free. It is safe, and it will save your life. So folks just need to get vaccinated,” she added.
A White House official told CNN that Harris did not interact with Hostin or Navarro before the show.
The View returned for a 25th season this month with Behar, Haines, Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg as hosts. The Season 25 premiere marked the first time the show hosted an in-person studio audience since the COVID-19 shutdown.
“It’s exciting. Yeah, if they trust us, I trust them. We got our masks, and everybody’s just trying to get through this,” Goldberg said of the pandemic on Good Morning America this month.

Sunny, Ana and Kamala, three peas in a pod or in other words, three phony communist liberals.
I wonder. THEY tested positive, but does that mean they actually HAD COVID, or just signs of it?
My opinion is that the few people that watch this show were being set up again for more China Virus propaganda !! I have never seen a show that the stars speak out on so many things they no NOTHING FACTUCAL ABOUT and fail to look at the truth.
Some people on another site were saying this was a setup to draw more attention to The View. The only people who watch it now are liberal naggers.
Speaking of liberal naggers there’s a big fight going on in this area over HOA’s. Homeowners Associations. I was reading through the comments and realized that the people defending the HOA are the same people who demand that everyone wear a mask. They have that same bossy nanny nagging personality. The other side is the people who would like to breathe without their neighbor telling them what to do.
That’s why i REFUSE TO ever buy a house that is IN A HOA..
So, how often are Holstein and Navarro tested? How long did they have Covid? How many people did they already infect? But I’m sure no one cares about the mere Peasantry as long as the Nobility is safe eh? Interesting timing on this. How many were looking forward to the mask less, close-contact hugs and kisses with Harris?
Hmm, the Dem Party “scientists” must be doing some real head-scratching to figure out how to explain why the vaccinated & masked are now the ones spreading the virus.
They will no doubt come up with some blame Trump reason & will possibly mandate full body biohazard suits be worn by everyone who is not a Dem Party member in good standing.
AND why the hell did they wait TILL HARRIS almost came on stage, to pull those 2, who ‘tested positive’.
