‘The View’ Going on Hiatus: Joy Behar Accidentally Reveals the News 1 Day Before Break
Joy Behar shocked her The View cohosts when she seemingly unexpectedly let news slip about the show’s upcoming hiatus. She shared the news at the top of the Thursday, July 24, episode.
“Before we go on hiatus, we only have one more show after this, I’m allowed to say that, right?” Behar asked, to which Alyssa Farah Griffin laughed and responded, “Too late now!” A producer chimed in from the background to add, “Doesn’t really matter.”
A source confirmed to TV Insider that “the show will be on its annual summer hiatus” beginning next week. The View goes on summer break every year in August and returns after Labor Day. This year, the break will begin on Monday, July 28, which seems to be a few days earlier than usual. That means there will just be one more episode (Friday, July 25) before The View is off the air for several weeks.

— TheBlaze (@theblaze) July 24, 2025
Earlier this summer, the talk show hosts also had a week off for July 4, which is typical, as well.
After Behar appeared to accidentally let the news of the hiatus slip out, the women continued to discuss the controversy surrounding Donald Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein files. The first segment of Hot Topics touched on the recent Wall Street Journal report that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump that his name appeared in the Epstein files “multiple times.”
The news of The View’s hiatus created a bit of a stir on social media, with many wondering whether the break will become permanent if the show gets the same treatment as Stephen Colbert‘s late night show, which was recently canceled by CBS following parent company Paramount’s controversial settlement with the president after he sued them.

OMG the media and the MAGA 's are obsessed with The View... They take a break every year at this time....since the show is on.... They are enjoying their highest rated season in five years, and the controversy only adds to the ratings high... The View isn't going anywhere.... ABC would have a huge problem if they pulled the View lol People get a life and chill out lol

Hey genius: How about you look up what US Aid is before making a stupid comment. I'll help you. The United States Agency for International Development is, de jure, an independent agency of the United States. It was responsible for US foreign aid from 1961 to 2025. USAID was established in 1961 during the Cold War by President John F. Kennedy to counter the Soviet Union with soft power across the world.

The hiatus is being used to coordinate the placement of special projects currently on hold while other talk show formats are considered. Like it or leave it, execs have decided the VIEW has run its course and they'll let it bow out during the hiatus. The story will read, the ladies felt like having new challenges after their "long and successful " careers on the View! Between unemployment compensation and/or social security, they'll get by with honorariums at speaking engagements .

I love The View...or used to. In the last few years, Sara has just become obnoxious, Whoopi is displaying how out of touch she is, Anna is borderline militant and so is Sunny on certain issues, and the one I now relate to most is Alyssa, God help me. I am no conservative (or liberal btw), but the conservative makes the most sense, the most often. The constant "we're in this together" from Whoopi just illustrates how out of touch she is. We aren't in this together at all. Those with money have far fewer worries than the majority of us who are barely scraping by every day. Whoopi actually gets to leave the country, because she can afford to, and can do so permanently if she wants. The rest of us are in a sinking, over-loaded boat where the idiot in charge has thrown any life preservers he can overboard, and has drilled holes in the life boats! No, The View is pretty useless at this point, so come back, don't come back....I don't think I even care anymore.
-
P
What IS the big deal? Why on earth would something they do every year need to be a big state secret? Kind of bizarre if they really didn't want that known. The hiatus is extremely long every year, but whatever. Rich people gotta have their months-long vacations. Must be nice.

We were just hoping it would be permanent.

I agree that democracy depends on different points of view but when do you get a different point of view on “the view“?
-
B
the people complaining that it should be canceled are the one's that do not want anyone having different view points than their own. and want the narrative controlled. Let's see......like Putin, Hitler, etc. They want control, not freedom. Look people. We are the United States of America, the free, the brave. Don't hide behind a one minded directive. We all live here we all have our views and they should not be stifled. Don't like their take on things then don't watch. I don't like fox news and their take on things, but I think it would be wrong to cancel them just because I think they are nuts!

I 100% disagree. Democracy depends on the hegemony of different points of view being publicly expressed to sustain positive change. The show isn’t going anywhere except on a break like they do every August. They have not been canceled. I’m a younger viewer and I don’t avoid it like the plague. Your younger viewers claim makes a hasty generalization that is simply not true. That tremendous chorus you boast is actually a small quartet. Thank you for playing. Please try again later.

@Commoncents85732 Honey lamb, Joe Biden never digitally assaulted E. Jean Carroll. The man you're defending most certainly did, and was convicted for it, on over 30 counts.
