Whoopi's Absence Explained
Now, let's talk about something that's been on a lot of fans' minds. If you're a fan of The View, you've probably noticed that Whoopi Goldberg has been absent from the show since February 5. And for those who love the show, it just hasn't been the same without her. Well, today, her cohost Joy Behar finally opened up about why the beloved 63-year-old has been missing from the daytime talk show for so long.
During an episode on Wednesday, February 20, Joy Behar shared the truth with the audience. "She's not feeling well," Joy, 76, revealed. "She's actually recovering from pneumonia. I saw her last night, and I have to tell you, she's still as funny as ever. We had a great laugh. She's on the mend, but it's going to take some time." It's been quite the journey for Whoopi, and we're all hoping for her speedy recovery.

The Oscars Rumor
Now, let's talk about the Oscars. This year, the Academy Awards will be broadcast without a host for the first time in 30 years. But wait, there were rumors swirling around that Whoopi, the star of Ghost, was secretly preparing to take the stage and host the Oscars this weekend. Joy Behar put those rumors to rest right away. "There are all these conspiracy theories on the Internet that she's not really sick and she's secretly preparing to host the Oscars," Joy explained. "That's just not true. She's not even well enough to host this show right now, let alone the Oscars." That's the truth, folks.
How the Rumor Started
Meghan McCain also weighed in on the situation, explaining how the rumor started. "This conspiracy started because @Peterknegt started the conspiracy and said, 'never started a conspiracy theory before, but turns out being stoned while watching The View is productive,'" the 34-year-old shared with the audience. It's clear that sometimes, a little creativity can spark some wild ideas.
There's no word yet on when Whoopi will be returning to the show she's been a part of since 2007. But we're all hoping it's soon. In the meantime, we're sure the ladies will keep her seat warm until she comes back. While there might be some arguments between them, that's just part of the charm of The View.
Behind-the-Scenes Drama
Speaking of drama, Meghan McCain once revealed on Watch What Happens Live! that as much as she fights with Joy Behar on-air, they are pretty civil when the cameras are off. "The thing about Joy and I is if you extract politics, we are very similar women," John McCain's daughter told host Andy Cohen. "We leave it all out on the table, we fight like boxers, and then we leave and I’m like, 'Do you want to get a drink? Are we cool?' She's really funny, and at the end of the day, I try and hate her but I can't. I'm telling you, I've never had more fun fighting with someone on TV than I do with Joy Behar."
