The View Announces Hiatus From Disney TV Days After Trump Predicts Show’s Cancellation, Calls Joy Behar ‘Irrelevant Loser’

by

The popular daytime talk show, “The View,” known for its progressive discussions, is taking a break and going on a temporary halt at an intriguing time. On the episode aired on July 24, 2025, co-host Joy Behar, who is now 82 years old, hinted off-camera that the show will be taking a hiatus following only one more broadcast.

🚨 JUST IN: The View is TAKING A BREAK.

This is their second-to-last show, for now, Joy Behar says.

“Before we go on hiatus – we only have 1 more show after this.”

MAKE IT PERMANENT! First Stephen Colbert, now cancel The View.

Just before our break, there’s only one show left,” she mentioned, whispering a little, “Am I allowed to share that with you?

Alyssa Farah Griffin chimed in with a laugh: “Too late now.”

According to ABC sources, the usual summer break starts on July 28th and ends after Labor Day. However, this schedule has sparked speculation, particularly after a fierce critique from the White House.

Yesterday, on July 23rd, I was labeled as “an irrelevant loser” with a severe case of so-called ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ by the Trump administration through their spokesperson Taylor Rogers. Quite a characterization, don’t you think?

Rogers directly stated that, based on declining ratings allegations, the current president might order the removal of “The View” from air. This statement was made following Behar’s criticism of Trump, where she suggested his envy towards Obama and highlighted the Republican Party’s internal disputes over the “Epstein Files.

Social media conservatives exploded with chatter, suggesting that the break could mean the end of whatever was on hold. One Facebook page exclaimed, “LET’S MAKE IT PERMANENT!” seeming to mirror the president’s views.

However, the situation becomes more complex as rumors emerge from within Disney, the company that owns ABC. In May 2025, it was alleged that CEO Bob Iger and ABC News head Almin Karamehmedovic requested their hosts to tone down their criticism of then-President Trump and overall political commentary.

Some reports suggest that the panel, known for its strong views, was not open to change – some publications even stated they flatly refused to soften their stance. Could this internal resistance have led to the current break? Experts in the industry suspect that Disney might be considering a shift towards more neutral content to attract a wider, centrist audience in an era of divided media landscapes.

The hosts of the show have had plenty of instances that make people talk about controversial topics and fuel theories. In June 2025, Whoopi Goldberg caused an uproar around the world by stating that Black Americans face similar dire conditions as those in Iran, which sparked a heated debate with co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin over the comparison. Iranian dissidents found it offensive, and critics like Rep. Wesley Hunt strongly criticized the claim, pointing out significant differences in freedoms.

Additionally, Sunny Hostin often finds herself reading retractions or clarifications due to her statements about individuals such as Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth being particularly contentious, in the past few months.

Showing a downtrodden demeanor, Hostin has explained away denials from legal representatives, as no charges have ever been brought against her. Some people conjecture that this trend could make both her and the show a potential risk, particularly in light of ABC’s $15 million settlement with Trump over unrelated allegations.

The break in broadcasting for “The View” mirrors the sudden termination of CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” from last week, which was attributed to financial reasons but has been viewed by progressive media outlets as a political concession following Trump’s $16 million court victory.

Regarding X, numerous theories circulate: Is Disney yielding to pressure or just aiming for viewers who prefer non-partisan content over polarizing debates? In a media landscape where algorithms lean towards extremes but networks yearn for consistency, could this shift indicate the decline of unabashedly biased “entertainment”?

According to Behar’s perspective, things may be changing for the better. It’s unclear if The View will come back renewed, redesigned, or won’t return at all – a mystery that has everyone guessing amidst the turbulent whirlwind of political and television dynamics.
