In a classic case of trading places, as one co-host makes a comeback, another takes a leave. This morning’s episode of The View marked the return of Whoopi Goldberg from her week-long hiatus, but Alyssa Farah Griffin was conspicuously absent from the Hot Topics table.

Goldberg had stepped away from The View last week to venture into the world of soap operas in Italy. Just as she resumed her role as moderator, Griffin seemed to take a day off. This left the panel with only four of its usual five members: Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro.

Curious about Griffin’s absence from today’s show? Wondering when she might reappear? We’ve gathered all the information available.

Where is Alyssa Farah Griffin today? Was she fired from The View?

Rest assured, Griffin has not been dismissed from The View. At the top of the show, Goldberg simply stated, “Alyssa is out today and I am back today,” without providing any details on Griffin’s absence or her expected return.

It’s worth mentioning that Griffin is approximately seven months pregnant, which could mean her absence was for a prenatal appointment, dealing with morning sickness, or perhaps enjoying an early, well-earned babymoon. Whatever the reason, we eagerly anticipate her return to The View soon!

When will Alyssa Farah Griffin be back on The View?

We’re not sure when Griffin will be back on The View, but she’s not one to miss more than one day. With that in mind, we’re hoping to see her back sitting at the Hot Topics table tomorrow morning.
