Hold onto your coffee mugs, folks—rumors are swirling that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene might swap her congressional seat for a spot at the table on ABC’s “The View.”
According to Decider, let’s cut through the noise: speculation about Greene joining the show as a co-host has been fueled by social media chatter, while Whoopi Goldberg’s recent absence has only added fuel to the fire, though Joy Behar has firmly debunked any such notion.
Goldberg, a staple on “The View,” hasn’t been seen on the set since mid-November, leaving fans curious and some speculating about her future with the program.
Turns out, there’s no dramatic exit—Goldberg is simply off filming a soap opera in Italy, a perfectly reasonable gig for a Hollywood veteran.
She’s expected to return to her co-host chair shortly after the Thanksgiving break, ready to dive back into the daily debates that define the show.
But in the vacuum of her absence, the internet—specifically users on X—has been buzzing with theories, some more outlandish than others.
One user on X mused, “Marjorie Taylor Greene will now work as a private citizen on a grassroots level to get hired as a cohost on The View.”
Really? While creativity deserves applause, let’s not confuse wishful thinking with reality—Greene has no stated plans to join the show, and this seems more like online fan fiction than a career pivot. Another X user speculated, “Don’t be shocked if she’s a full-time anti-Trump host/commentator within a few months.”
Here’s a reality check for the keyboard warriors: that kind of ideological flip would be a plot twist even Hollywood couldn’t script, and there’s zero evidence to support it.
On a recent broadcast, Joy Behar, who’s been steering the ship at “The View” since its debut in 1997, tackled the rumors head-on with a reassuring quip, “Don’t worry, she’s not being replaced by Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
Thank you, Joy, for putting a pin in the balloon of speculation before it floated too far into la-la land.
Adding to the gossip mill, Greene recently announced her resignation from Congress, effective sometime in January, which naturally got tongues wagging about her next move.
While some conservatives might hope she’d bring a no-nonsense, America-first perspective to mainstream media, the idea of her joining a show often criticized for its progressive slant feels like a stretch—let’s be honest, it’s a cultural mismatch of epic proportions.
Still, it’s worth noting that “The View” remains a daily fixture on ABC at 11/10c, available for streaming on platforms like Hulu + Live TV or the ABC website with a cable login, for anyone eager to keep tabs on the real story as it unfolds.
