Goldberg recently discussed the daytime show's new work environment, over a year after McCain's departure.
In an excerpt of her bookin October 2021, McCain discussed her exchange with Behar, which happened shortly after she’d returned to work from a three-month maternity leave. McCain writes that she teasingly told Behar: “Joy, you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave! You missed fighting with me!” Behar responded:“Nothing anyone has ever said to me on camera since I have been giving interviews since I was 22 years old ever hit this hard,” McCain wrote in her memoir, according to Variety.
McCain, who is now a columnist at the Daily Mail, also criticized Goldberg in her memoir, saying the EGOT winner holds “so much power in culture and television, and once she turns on you, it can create unfathomable tension at the table.”“I found her open disdain for me more and more difficult to manage as the years went on and it became more frequent,” McCain wrote of Goldberg.
Goldberg is not the only “View” co-host who has addressed the show’s dynamic since McCain’s departure. After “The View” announced in August that Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former White House director of strategic communications under former President Donald Trump, was joining the show as a permanent co-host, Behar toldthat she thought the show would run “smoother” with Griffin than it did with McCain.
“Alyssa’s got a whole different personality, so I think it will be smoother, frankly,” Behar said at the time. “I like both of them but I think this girl is going to do very well.”that Ana Navarro would serve as a permanent co-host, joining Griffin as another new conservative voice on the panel. The new panelists join Goldberg, Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sarah Haines. The show kicked off its 26th season last month.
