‘The View’s’ Sunny Hostin & Ana Navarro Test Positive for COVID-19; Asked to Leave Studio Ahead Of V.P. Kamala Harris Interview
This morning on The View, an awkward situation arose, when while on the air, co-hosts, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro, where asked to leave the panel desk and exit the studio.
All of this happened before a live interview was scheduled to happen with Vice President Kamala Harris. It was revealed that Hostin and Navarro tested positive for Covid-19, and were ‘breakthrough” cases since they had been previously vaccinated.
Host, Joy Behar delivered the news to the audience at home so they knew what was going on with the bizarre moment playing out on live TV, sharing, “Ana and Sunny, at the last minute we realized they have tested positive for COVID so they have been taken off of the show.”
Harris, who had planned to join the ladies at the table, instead was going to be interviewed remotely from a different place in the ABC TV studio in New York, while Joy Behar and Sara Haines remained on the set.
As for Kamala Harris, Behar added: “It’s very important we keep her healthy and safe. The Secret Service is doing things to make her feel safe.”
While the delay was announced, Behar and Haines took questions from the in-studio audience.
Watch Behar below explain what was going on.
Then let us know, how do you feel The View handled the situation? Comment below.

BREAKING: Fully-vaccinated Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro have tested positive for COVID
Delta is EVERYWHERE and is evading the vaccine. Be safe and careful everyone!
I wish both ladies a quick and healthy recovery
But aside from that Sunny really needs a rest. Man, has she been cranky and a negative nellie constantly lately. I noticed as far as the new seasons concerned we really need a republican on the panel to balance the rest of the ladies especially Sunny. Geez. Hope she returns less shrill and grouchy. Love Ana though. I still think Jed she be brought back. Like Ana shes very clear and less emotional than say Sunny and Meagan. Its fine for most part but can be tiring when its all doom and gloom
I think Jed should be brought back, too! She is calm, clear headed and articulate – something that show could use more of…..
I have yet to see today’s episode of The View. I will watch it when it is released on Hulu in a few hours. According to a clip I saw on Twitter, the show acted urgently by removing Sunny and Ana off-set immediately prior to Vice President Kamala Harris joining the ladies at the Table. Thankfully, the interview with VP Harris was done remotely at ABC Studios. We have to protect everyone and especially our Madam VP. Can you imagine if they did the interview at the Table with just Joy and Sara and, what if, the Table had not been wiped down and sanitised? Thankfully, again, they conducted the interview remotely.
I feel awful for Sunny and Ana, even though both are vaccinated, I wish them both a speedy recovery. With Whoopi out due to her sciatica and Joy recently had the sniffles, the show may have to return to filming from home for a few weeks. They’ve got to make sure Joy and Sara, the producers, and all crew and all the players that help create the show daily, and make sure everyone is tested and retested. I don’t know how they can return to studio on Monday with Whoopi, Joy and Sara… is it safe for the rest of the crew, producers, hair and make-up team, etc… to return to in-studio after what transpired this morning? I bet ABC is sorting this out. I look forward to watching the entire episode in a few hours on Hulu. From the clip, I watched, Sara looked nervous and scared, though I have yet to see the entire segment.
Thank goodness, VP Harris was not brought on to set and the interview was handled accordingly to protect her safety and others. Wishing Sunny and Ana well and the entire team at The View.
These vaccines seem to be wearing off.
Totally fake! Done for ratings and whatever other political reason. We are to believe they JUST found out and it took everyone surprise at the last minute? Please! Desperate for viewers much?
If they did just find out, there should be some accountability (heads rolling). The safety measures taken were lax, especially where the second most powerful person in the leadership of our country is concerned!
Joy and Sara carried on with such ease. The humor was too notch! It reminded me of Carol Burnett Show.
The ladies should do a one variety show. They all the humor so well.
Oops.. I should proofread… “The ladies should do a comedy/ variety show for an episode. They all do humor and comedy so well.”
