Well, either way, the Hot Topics table will extend its reach to Saturdays and Sundays, as the ABC daytime talk show announced Wednesday that it will now air seven days a week thanks to its new The Weekend View streaming series.
The show's Friday panel — including Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin — will host the new 30-minute weekend edition of The View on the network's ABC News Live streaming platform, with moderator Whoopi Goldberg sitting out for the spinoff program as she typically has Fridays off.
Haines announced the news on Wednesday's episode of The View, noting that The Weekend View will debut on Saturday and Sunday mornings beginning this week.
The Weekend View will be produced by the same Emmy-winning team that handles the main series, and will center on headlines from entertainment and buzzy topics from social media, versus The View's political-leaning content. Segments from producer Brian Teta's Behind The Table podcast will also air throughout the episodes.
