Daytime viewers were left stunned this week when The View abruptly vanished from the airwaves, prompting confusion and concern from its loyal fanbase. But while fans searched for answers, conservative commentator Tyrus took the opportunity to mock the show’s absence, claiming, “They finally know justice.” His biting remarks have sparked backlash online and reignited fierce debate over the show’s controversial reputation and cultural influence. ABC has yet to release a full explanation, only fueling the speculation.
Find out what’s really going on behind The View’s sudden disappearance and why Tyrus’s comments have ignited such a firestorm—read the full story now before the drama heats up even more.
Fox News contributor Tyrus ignited a media firestorm after confronting the hosts of ABC’s ‘The View’ over their remarks about Black conservatives, particularly Senator Tim Scott and Justice Clarence Thomas. During a live broadcast, Tyrus accused the panel of perpetuating racial double standards, stating, “Any Black man that’s successful on his own and has his own way of thinking, clearly can’t be Black.” He further criticized the show’s rhetoric, suggesting it undermines the individuality of Black conservatives. The exchange quickly went viral, sparking intense debate across social media platforms. Supporters praised Tyrus for challenging what they see as biased narratives, while critics accused him of oversimplifying complex issues. The incident has reignited discussions about race, media representation, and political ideology.
Experience the full exchange and the reactions it has provoked down below.

There are television moments, and then there are explosions you feel across the country. What happened this week on The View falls into the second category.
Fox News contributor Tyrus didn’t just appear on the show — he stormed in with brutal honesty and refused to play by the polite daytime rules. His takedown of the show’s long-running racial rhetoric stunned the panel and ignited a firestorm on social media.
Viewers have always had mixed feelings about The View, but what Tyrus did wasn’t just criticism. It was a straight-up demolition. He called out the show for what many have long suspected: a pattern of racially charged, one-sided commentary that often alienates the very audience it claims to serve.
“You don’t need to find Trump supporters,” he said to the stunned hosts. “You need to fire your race-baiters.”
The air left the room.
Tyrus didn’t stop there. He named names. He brought receipts. And he pointed directly to hosts like Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg, accusing them of weaponizing race and silencing voices that don’t fit their narrow view of the world.
“You’ve had conservatives on before,” Tyrus said. “But you ran them off. Meghan McCain nearly cried every break. You want diversity, but not if it disagrees with you.”
It wasn’t just a comment. It was a challenge.
Tyrus urged the show’s producers to take real accountability. “If you’re going to let people come on your show and bash entire groups of Americans, you better expect people to push back,” he added.
The clip went viral within hours.

Online reactions exploded. Millions viewed and shared the segment across platforms, with hashtags trending nationwide. People weren’t just reacting to Tyrus — they were agreeing with him.
Many felt he finally said what others were too scared to say. The View, they argued, has become a bubble. A predictable, often preachy platform where disagreement is drowned out and nuance is thrown out the window.
And let’s be real. It’s not like Tyrus said anything outrageous. He just flipped the mirror.
He pointed out the hypocrisy of allowing sweeping negative statements about white Americans, while any comment in reverse would immediately lead to cancellation and public outrage. It’s not about silencing one side — it’s about playing fair. Something The View doesn’t always seem interested in.
Take Sunny Hostin. She’s been known to mock minority conservatives, accusing them of “voting against their race.” And yet, no pushback. No apology. No consequences.
Ana Navarro once made a comment implying all nannies are Latina. Still no apology.
The media stays silent.
Tyrus argued that this double standard is part of why The View is losing touch. While pretending to stand for progress, the show has become a bubble of elitism — preaching from on high without understanding how regular Americans think.
Even past co-hosts have admitted the environment behind the scenes is tense. Candace Cameron Bure once described the job as exhausting and emotionally draining. Research? Balance? Respect? Hard to find when your opinion isn’t approved in advance.
“You get one scared Republican on the panel,” Tyrus said, “and the moment she speaks, she’s cut off. That’s not debate. That’s performance.”
Critics online agreed. They called the show an echo chamber, a political machine masquerading as a talk show. Viewers aren’t getting thoughtful analysis — they’re getting recycled talking points.
This latest dust-up is bigger than just one moment. It’s part of a broader shift in media where audiences are demanding real conversation, not curated outrage.
As Tyrus put it, “Clean it up.”
The irony? The View often calls for inclusivity and representation. But where’s the balance? Where’s the willingness to hear something uncomfortable? If only one viewpoint is allowed, what are you really offering?
Maybe it’s time the producers start listening to the very people they’ve been ignoring. The ones turning off their TVs. The ones tired of being told how to think.
Tyrus gave them a lot to think about. Whether they do anything with it — that’s the real test.
‘The View’ will air rerun episodes during the week of April 14

The View has been airing episodes reruns this week — and fans are wondering why.
The daytime series kicked off its 28th season on Sept. 3, 2024, straight from their brand new state-of-the-art studio, located in the Walt Disney Company’s new and improved Manhattan headquarters. Though the show was airing from a new location, its panel included the same familiar faces, as co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin returned for more debriefs and discussions on everything going on in the world.
But while there are plenty of “Hot Topics” yet to be discussed, the show paused its live episodes for the week of April 14, leaving viewers (yes, pun intended!) wondering what’s going on with the beloved ABC talk show.
So, why isn’t The View on this week? Here’s everything to know about the talk show’s break, including when live episodes will return.

Even your favorite talk show hosts need a break! The View regularly takes a week off during the spring season. The show’s other holiday hiatus typically falls around the winter holidays.
The six co-hosts most recently took some time off between Dec. 23, 2024, and Jan. 6, 2025.
During the holiday break, Haines appeared to spend some quality time with her husband and children. On Jan. 6, she shared photos on Instagram that seemed to be taken from her vacation, featuring her son fishing and her daughter dressed up for her birthday.
Meanwhile, Griffin shared an Instagram photo on a boat with some friends during the break, captioned, “Out of office. .”
According to Navarro’s Instagram, she used her time away from the talk show to make new memories with her husband on vacation, which included whale watching!
Why wasn’t Joy Behar on The View last week?

Behar last appeared on The View on Wednesday, April 9, before she missed the Thursday, April 10 and Friday, April 11 episodes. Goldberg, who normally has Fridays off, filled in for her co-host on April 11, joking that the viewers must be thinking, “‘Wait — what the hell is going on here?’ Yes, it is Friday.”
The commentator went on to explain that she was stepping in while Behar was out sick.
“But Joy is under the weather today, and you know, I can’t leave y’all hanging,” she said. “So I wanted to make sure I was here.”
When will The View return with live episodes?
