1. good lord. what next!!

[Walleye]

2. Thanks I just turned in and was trying to figure out what happened

[badhair77]

3. It was definitely attention-demanding tv.

Things keep changing but they’re going to interview KH by remote instead of on set.

[Totally Tunsie]

4. Watching now. Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro were asked

to leave the stage b/c of testing Positive.

VP Harris will be interviewed remotely from another room rather than appearing on stage as a matter of precaution.

6. Are they not vaccinated?

Surely they are ?
🤔


✌🏻

[badhair77]

7. Yes. Both are vaccinated.

[Totally Tunsie]

8. Yes...Breakthrough cases

Both are fully vaxxed.

10. Ana Navarro was recently receiving backlash for her activities

She was being scolded on social media for irresponsible behavior as to COVID. Not wearing a mask, etc.

I like her and wish her well. But it’s not going to look good for her testing positive after being chided.

There was a picture yesterday of her and Eva Longoria hugging. Not saying this is wrong or right, just stating facts.

5. Maybe the show could get the test results back before it starts?

[Totally Tunsie]

9. They have the results...Positive.

That's why they were removed.

23. "two of the hosts just tested positive for COVID in the middle of the show...

...and had to leave the stage

11. That was a real cluster****, But Joy Behar held down the fort...

... An entire hour of audience questions, and Sarah Haines (I think), the surviving host along with Joy, was coughing the entire time... She was even coughing through Kamala's remote interview.

I suspect The View will be a repeat tomorrow or they will revert to their all remote format.

I hope nobody loses their job... The scrambled to keep it together on live TV.

[Totally Tunsie]

12. They did their best with half their tablemates being removed.

I was impressed with how quickly they switched gears and solved the issue.

No View tomorrow - it's Saturday.

WHY would anyone lose their job over this?

[targetpractice]

13. I feel dumb...

I have no idea what day it is.

They are getting a lot of heat on Twitter... For example, Mika Brzezinski seemed appalled that they let people on set without having the results of the daily test complete for on-set personalities. That does seem like a bad policy or slip-up.

I hope no one does lose their job... I doubt they will.. That was a dumb comment on my part... Shit happens and they recovered.

[Totally Tunsie]

14. LOL - the first thing I do upon waking

is ask "What day is it?" It sometimes takes a moment to come up with the answer. You're not alone!

It does seem they should have had the results before showtime to be completely effective, but I wonder if the backstage pre-show routine wasn't a bit chaotic with VP Harris on premises. Perhaps there was a delay in testing them and TPTB didn't have the results until they were a few minutes into the show. In any event, I think they acted appropriately and got through the remainder of the show. "The show must go on!"


Psssst...you're not dumb!

19. Since retiring, I have to check my weather app to learn the day & the date!

[targetpractice]

20. "Hey Siri, what day is it?" comes in handy. n/t

[tblue37]

21. I don't have Siri or Alexa.

[Tree Lady]

24. I laughed when I read this and said

It out loud and Siri answered me, lol they are always listening. 😛

[Sneederbunk]

15. Her coming out is a bigger story.

[Bucky]

16. Oh, THAT kind of "come out"

damn, but I misread that

[onethatcares]

17. me three.

whooo, that would have thrown the pukes into spasms....

[liberal_mama]

18. Ana recently tweeted a picture of herself unmasked at a large sporting event

I think Sunny was in the picture with her at the game!

22. The View handled this well
