The View Opens Halloween Episode With Freaky Body-Swap Skit and Jamie Lee Curtis Cameo

Producers used a brief pre-taped opener in place of the usual costume spectacle to preserve live election-week coverage.

Overview

  • A pre-taped segment titled A Freaky View kicked off the Oct. 31 broadcast, with People debuting the clip exclusively.
  • The skit riffs on Disney’s Freakier Friday, which is set to start streaming on Disney+ on Nov. 12.
  • Body swaps included Sunny Hostin with Sara Haines, Joy Behar with Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro with executive producer Brian Teta.
  • Jamie Lee Curtis appears in Whoopi Goldberg’s dressing room with a playful Ghost nod, while Goldberg does not appear in the bit.
  • Executive producer Brian Teta previously said the show would forgo costumes this year to remain live in the days before the election.
