🛑 Did Joy Behar Really Say “The View” Is Ending Next Month?

No credible evidence supports the claim that The View is being canceled. The rumor appears to have stemmed from misconstrued comments or satirical content online. According to Snopes, the claim that ABC is not renewing The View or ending the show is false (reddit.com). In fact, ABC has confirmed that the show is returning for another season in September 2024, and its contracts with hosts like Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg remain in force (the-sun.com).

What Joy Behar Actually Said

On the June 23 episode, Joy referred to Whoopi Goldberg being off-screen because she was in Italy receiving an award. This caused a brief summer hiatus announcement—but not cancellation (ew.com). There was no mention of ending the series next month.

Why the Rumor Spread So Quickly

    Misinterpretation: People may have misunderstood her reference to the routine summer break, interpreting it as an indefinite end.
    Online Misinformation: Clickbait headlines and satirical takes played a major role in amplifying the false narrative.
    History of Missteps: Joy Behar has a track record of accidentally sharing behind-the-scenes info—like the Rosie O’Donnell announcement— which sometimes got her in hot water (the-sun.com, decider.com, pagesix.com).

The Reality: The View Is Here to Stay

The show is wrapping up its current season and will return in September from a new Manhattan studio (the-sun.com).
Contracts with key personalities like Joy, Whoopi, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin have not been cut (the-sun.com).

Final Takeaway

Relax, View fans!
Joy Behar did not announce the show’s cancellation. What she actually referenced was Whoopi’s temporary absence and the usual summer break. The rumor of The View ending next month is false—it’s simply heading into its routine hiatus and set to return in the fall for Season 28.

Want more clarity?

For official scheduling: The View resumes in September after its summer break.
For host updates: Joy herself addressed Whoopi’s absence, not a shutdown.
