‘The View’: All 6 Cohosts Returning for Season 29
The View‘s summer hiatus is almost over. Since Monday, July 28, the hit ABC daytime talk show has been airing encore episodes in its usual timeslot, but now, the end of the rerun cycle is almost here.
Key details about what’s ahead when The View returns for Season 29 are starting to come through, and we’re breaking down everything you need to know right here.
When is The View Season 29 premiere date?
ABC has confirmed The View will return for Season 29 on September 8 at 11a/10c.
Who will cohost The View Season 29?
There will be no changes to the current panel of cohosts, ABC has confirmed. Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro will return.
The news comes on the heels of one source reporting over the summer that there were talks about replacing Goldberg as moderator with Hostin. Plus, there were repeated calls from Donald Trump for the show to be canceled, especially following CBS’s cancellation of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Some fans have been worried that the future of The View and certain members of the cast’s jobs might be in jeopardy. After all, even Behar herself has expressed concern about the show’s ability to survive the current political climate, and there were reports of the cohosts receiving pressure from the network brass to tone down anti-Trump rhetoric.
Who are the guests for The View?
ABC has revealed the following first-week lineup for Season 29:
Monday, Sept. 8 – Season 29 premiere
Tuesday, Sept. 9 – Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court (author, Just Shine! How to Be a Better You)
Wednesday, Sept. 10 – Emma Heming Willis (author, The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path)
Thursday, Sept. 11 – America Ferrera (The Lost Bus)
Friday, Sept. 12 – Ken Jeong (co-host, 99 to Beat); Michael Urie (actor, Broadway’s Oh, Mary! and Shrinking)
The website 1iota, which provides access for live attendees of the broadcast, also gives further insight as to who will appear on the show as special guests.
For September 15’s show, actor and author Matthew McConaughey is on deck to appear, alongside former West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. September 16’s listing has three guests: famed psychic medium John Edward and actors Marlon Wayans and Robin Wright. The afternoon taping on September 18 (again, likely to air next-day) is Lily James. Appearing on the September 23 show will be Priscilla Presley, and Shark Tank stars Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John will visit the show on September 24. For September 25, it’s actress Regina Hall who’s on deck, with Gloria Estefan in the afternoon (likely Friday) slot. After that, Tim Allen visits on September 29, and Glen Powell and Eli Manning on September 30.
What else is there to know about The View Season 29?
In addition to The View‘s main broadcast, the show’s companion programs will also be back, including the daily podcast series Behind the Table, returning September 8, and the streaming The Weekend View edition, which begins September 13.

Love the View! One of the most HONEST Shows on TV! It is so sad that one person can have so much power in the USA! This show's hosts do not always agree and that is good. One can see and hear several views on a subject.
Just one of the BEST shows on our TV today. I may not always agree on some of the entertainment, etc., but that is what the "turn off knob" is made for.

"The View is by far the best, most honest and informative talk show on air now!
It would be an injustice for this show to be taken off "just because of Donald Trump's
wishes"! No other US president has had this power, and neither should Trump!

I’ve been watching the view since the beginning, I still love it, and will continue to watch as long as Joy and Whoopi stay on. If they leave so will I, and Joy’s made those kind of remarks about before, so why is he so bothered now.

Fed up why do you watch The View if you are wishing for them not to return. It’s very realistic and entertaining, I love it, if I didn’t I would change channels.

I know Whoopi won’t be around forever and the same for Joy. However if the powers that be promote Sonny to moderator I would definitely change the channel or catch up on other things. Whoopi is funny and serious, she’s got cred. IMO Sonny comes across so egotistical and turns everything about her. She often interrupts the panel and the guest to get in the spotlight (even during the View Your Deal segment see how many times she say I or me and count the number of times she interrupts the person presenting the deals. A moderator/leader should be someone comfortable in their skin, honest and able to speak their truth. The longest running moderators have been Meredith, Rosie (occasionally Joy, and Whoopi (and of course the group was lead by the incomparable legend Barbara. Those great moderators have kept The View afloat and have seen many changes at the panel table. These ladies all fit the bill for the ideal moderator in their ability to lead, their great sense of humor and the natural ability to know the show is about five women and their view on the topics of the day. None of them came across with a bit of an ego and didn’t hog the show. They are/were comfortable in their own skin. There is a reason each was chosen. Finding a replacement should be a thoroughly thought out process and should be some one new period.

I absolutely love the VIEW!!! I love love Whoopi and Joy!!! I love the other co-hosts as well but the 2 senior women are truly what makes this show so fantastic. We need women who speak truth to power. We are living in some very troubling times and waaaayyyy too many of our voices are being silenced. It's so refreshing to have outspoken well informed women sharing their thoughts and feelings about what's going on in the world. I thank God for them and hope that they will always stand up for themselves and us. God bless them all!!!💜💜💜

The View performs a very much needed role for our country. It is not just a TV show for entertainment. They perform a vital role by analyzing, discussing, and telling us things that may not be mentioned on the news.It’s ridiculous that Trump is given so much attention about his dislikes of TV stations. The TV stations need to take a firm position and not be bullied by his antics. And the audience who do not like the discussions on this show, should just change the channel like we all do if there’s a show that we do not like.TV stations stand tall, and do your part for democracy.

I can’t wait for Sunny to talk about her incredible estate sale that she had a few weeks ago with some incredible and knowledgeable antique dealers Vincent, Jim and Blinkie! I attended and had an amazing time and the prices were fair! Thank you for making the sale easy and seamless for the customers! Sunny, your house is beautiful!
Martha heard it was very successful as well!

Yes! I won’t either. These broadcast stations better wise up. I am done with cbs and paramount snd I can just as easily give up ABC and or NBC. PLENTY of streamint entertainment available if these stations are going to bow to the prresident who thinks he’s king. I really hope he gets what he deserves for his destruction of our democracy. Jees a president eho thumbed his nose at the crap SCOTUS he created. NO to donald trump and if necessary no to ABC.

I have been a fan for many, many, many years. I know these are smart ladies. Marge was on yesterday. I’m assuming that everyone was asked to be nice. I don’t think any of these women were really taken in by her new nice. I hope it was just good showmanship. The mean lady is still lurking in there and trying to get reelected. She has made us cringe on so many occasions. Her mouth is loud and big and ignorant. And she loves trump. To me, all of that says a ton more than this sudden awakening. She’s still the same jerk

I can not say I Watch much TV etc. However I don’t believe it is appropriate how specific party is conducting this. In here knowing one of the cast/panel mentioned knowing same has prior to being potus not because she did not herself have unnapropriate comments mentioned on one part written that she saw no evidence on potus connection with controversy. She did not need to. However she subtly warned that if he starts threatening it will immediadely make it apear If not be as If “admits of being a part of it” it took a strong educated woman to give doubt to allegations against him. The cast is not the same. However occasional specific shows I watched or listened to some. Cast/panel members have been from and I have watched or had small amounts from the show; it deserves a little more credit and respect but if you compare to most media today they generally have been accurate at least people must realize that yes hours a day editing may remove explanation and editors may need to take main part to fit time segment. I have been in a “live taping” filming 2 days what appears live for a maybe 2 hour special with a different show then commercials so if wcs same cast new name and show this is not okay. How many despite negativity towards cast members past would still try even to make it a better show and stand up by law for the individual threatening their work. Not often. So thank you view. But realize it is all of us. Any of us.

I’ve been a loyal viewer since the inception of The View, I’m no longer going to be so.
Whoopi seems to only be reading her dialogue from cards and often can’t get it correct. Annoying and intolerable.
She continuing to say many, many times that “we” have to give more, donate more, volunteer more are insulting to those who can’t!! I wonder how much she is giving, doing, donating being a person who can.
I will no longer be watching, sadly.

On today's show the View discussed less tourism from Canadians.
1) We are afraid of all the guns and daily shootings.
2) My husband is half Chinese, kind of looks Mexican, fear of him being grabbed by I'VE
3). With your present government threatening to overtake our country, and seeing how dictators around the world just muscle their way in and take what they want, we are concerned for our sovernty.

Love all the comments by women on here raving about how truthful this show is even though there's literally dozens of examples of where these cackling hens have been forced to retract false statements time and time again
These comments just reinforce my belief in repealing the 19th amendment because over and over women prove that they are hive minded, low information voters

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Get your lazy republican butt off the couch, find your remote or learn how to operate your tv without one, might have to take a course if you can’t figure it out on your own, and CHANGE THE CHANNEL instead of crapping all over a program millions LOVE.

But also law would not almost always exist if it was okay to just let it go. There comes a point where it is not wrong if you defend yourself.
Removing oneself from the situation is one way. One on one. If not big deal. Law could be worse but it is there as well as faith so we must remember that if we can’t change the poor actions or non action it is better but sometimes none of us can. This as anything can go either way but likely no do what you can to make it better if not possible it may feel like a loss but you won

Thank you Whoopi and Joy. Two that have been honest despite reality of media. I do not know some of the newer people but two that I have never seen try to make the world a better place and understand why some things are not acceptable. I had not seen either for a few years and I have never seen such an impression of caring for others as with themselves.
Perfect no. But compassion to how media is today if it goes awry please find a nich and network and keep going. Not many stand up for people who are putting them or colleagues past down non stop. So I do think maybe worst case together try a different way and stay positive together. But reality check even the kindest people do eventually get hurt and upset. So I can understand. “Never, never, never, never give up,” Winston Churchill said with FDR and yes actually ally Stalin but we do not live in uk Russia and trump is no FDR so you are better to me in action than his actions or non actions. Best understand that you can’t change others actions and whatever you do you left a lot more than the people or others that we can’t control or make the situation better. Otherwise I have seen these women on air been treated really poorly took it and that is a lot different. You are better than that. Thank you. When people treat me poorly no reason regardless of on tv or not learned to say no it is not okay what was just done so you are a little above average. However we all must remember we should not hold poor action against others.

Ladies please don’t give in to the 47… otherwise I don’t watch but saw one stand up for same thing when she did not need to do that. As far as joy people do not understand dry humor is not negativity so please know if it gets to you please know that you have done more good I have seen on clips to make the world hopefully better. I will agree with a lot of people in your situation it will not always go well for anyone especially since even in college students did not know English. Taught literary skills from good teachers

Today you spoke about Canadian tourism being "down". Some of our worries are 1) we are afraid of all the guns there 2) my husband is half Chinese, kind of looks Mexican, he may be grabbed off the street by ICE
3)Your present government has threatened to "take us over". We have many natural resources that President T wants, and watching how dictators take over territories, we are fearful!
