‘The View’: Savannah Chrisley Reveals Where She Stands With Panelists After Cohosting Gig
Savannah Chrisley wrapped up her week-long guest hosting gig on The View during the Friday, February 20, episode. Amid Alyssa Farah Griffin‘s maternity leave, Chrisley joined the panelists on the show for five episodes, and there were several tense moments throughout the week.
During her final episode, Chrisley kicked off the show by reflecting on her experience with Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro, and had surprising stories about her backstage interactions with the other women. Despite her various disagreements with the other women, Chrisley looked back fondly on the cohosting gig and said she’s leaving with positive impressions of the panelists.
“I just want to thank you all for giving me a voice and allowing me to sit at the table and believe totally differently, but have conversations that are hard and respectful,” Chrisley told Behar, Haines, Hostin, and Navarro (Goldberg is off on Fridays). “It’s the moments off camera that people don’t get to see, where we really do have more in common than differences.”
Hostin agreed and noted, “We have a lot in common and we didn’t know that!” Meanwhile, Haines joked that Behar is the “most unpredictable” of the panelists and revealed she’s been told that Behar provides the “best material” behind the scenes because it’s “not appropriate for television.”
Chrisley added, “I told my dad, Joy is my favorite! He was dying laughing. He’s like, ‘That’s unexpected, but I love it!'” Navarro joked that she was “glad we went through a week and no one needs electroshock therapy.”
To conclude the lovefest, Behar told Chrisley, “You were very good and very sweet. We all like you very much and are happy to have had you here.”
They then segued into a conversation about kids’ use of social media, where they all agreed that tech giants need to be held responsible for the dangers their apps create among young children. At the end of the discussion, Chrisley revealed some of the mean messages she’d received on social media during her stint as The View cohost, and Behar and Hostin urged her not to read the comments anymore.
It wasn’t like this all week, though. During the February 19 episode, the cohosts exploded on Chrisley as she defended Donald Trump and shut down the others when they called him racist.

Just like her PARENTS..... LOSER djt ENABLERS are ALL the same ‼️
WHY did ABC decide to go back to the days of Meghan McCain and turn the show into a pissing match ⁉️
She didn't offer a new point of view but she did show what MORONS the MAGA people are.....
By the way, her PRECIOUS parents are DELUSIONAL FELONS who should have STAYED in PRISON and finished their sentence for the conjob they pulled on other Americans..... TYPICAL trumpsters who will kiss the ring for their own selfish ideology ‼️🇺🇸🔥

She is a loser. Her Crooked parents that were pardoned because she kissed up to the dementia don. Didn’t watch this week because of her.

I think you're just jealous of a well put together young lady that no matter what she says just because of the the political side that she is on, you're going to bash her most of cuz you're jealous of her. You weren't even going to give her a chance to have anything to say. Anyway, you just want to be on here bashing somebody because you have such a pitiful life that you have to bash on somebody just to get your rocks off and to have a good day

I saw it a couple of times and she was refreshing! To much of one side all the time that’s why I can’t watch it everyday!

Even though, like ALL trmp voters/loyalist, she decided he wasn't a racist because of 1 or maybe 4 examples where he did A FAVOR FOR ANOTHER WHITE PERSON, that had some effect on a black person. HER EVIDENCE? she got her black friend out of jail by having access to the POTUS, and all she had to do was ask!
Yeah. Sure. We can all relate 🤪

I hear Elisabeth Hasselbeck is going to be filling in for a week so next to her Savanah Crissely is a breath of fresh air.

First of all, the grifter did not shut them down when they spoke about the racist man in the white house... and I have no idea why they would put the daughter of crooks on TV.. Only watched one show last week and that was enough for me, will not watch when Elizabeth is on either.

It was so refreshing to have another point of view instead of the usual negative energy doomsday rhetoric.

Don't watch! Period! You know you can ALWAYS change your channel. You do know that you have total control of what YOU watch in YOUR own home 🏡 💯
I really get tired of people complaining about a show, in which they do NOT have to watch. Everyone has an opinion; they're just like an $$@hole. Use it.

Alyssa is a conservative who just happens to agree with the others about Trump and his administration. She worked there his first term so she has actual first-hand experience with him. While she's on maternity leave they're having other conservatives fill in. If you want to hear negative energy doomsday rhetoric you can just watch Trump himself. Its non stop.
