Overview
- Sara Haines was absent from the September 29 live broadcast, and Whoopi Goldberg told viewers she was serving jury duty.
- The studio audience groaned at the announcement, and cohosts noted she could be selected for a full trial.
- Joy Behar was also off the panel that day, consistent with her typical Monday schedule, while Haines is usually on Monday through Friday.
- ABC and The View have not announced any lineup changes or a return date related to Haines’ jury service.
- Haines first joined The View in 2016, departed in 2018 for GMA Day and its later iterations, and returned in 2020 as a series regular known for an independent voice.
