Joy Behar Reveals ‘The View’ Is Going on Hiatus: ‘Only One More Show’

Joy Behar caught viewers and her co-hosts by surprise during the Thursday, July 24, episode of “The View” when she casually mentioned that the show would soon go off the air for its summer break.

“Before we go on hiatus, we only have one more show after this,” Behar said. “I’m allowed to say that, right?” Alyssa Farah Griffin laughed and responded, “Too late now!” A producer could be heard chiming in from behind the scenes, adding, “Doesn’t really matter.”

‘The View’ Takes Annual Break Starting July 28

A source later confirmed to TV Insider that The View will begin its annual summer hiatus starting Monday, July 28. That means Friday, July 25, will be the final new episode before the show goes dark for several weeks.

The daytime panel show typically takes a break in August and returns after Labor Day. This year’s hiatus is starting slightly earlier than usual. The show also took a brief break earlier this summer for the July 4 holiday, as is tradition.

Behar’s unplanned reveal sparked buzz on social media, with fans questioning whether the hiatus could be extended or even permanent. Some online chatter linked the break to recent late-night programming cuts, such as CBS canceling ‘The Late Show’ with Stephen Colbert amid its parent company Paramount’s legal troubles.

While there’s no indication “The View” is ending, speculation continues as fans draw comparisons to other recent talk show shakeups.

Will ‘The View’ Face The Same Fate As Other Talk Shows?

No. Fans don’t have to fret over it! While Joy Behar’s unexpected announcement stirred lighthearted buzz, the hiatus is a regular tradition for the long-running daytime talk show, and viewers can look forward to the panel’s return with more Hot Topics and headline-making moments in the fall. The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.

What Happened to The ‘Late Show’ With Stephen Colbert?

During the July 17 taping of “The Late Show”, the longtime beloved host revealed to his studio audience that CBS will officially end the series in May 2026.

The announcement also marks the end of “The Late Show” franchise, which began in 1993 with David Letterman. “Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night,” Colbert said. “Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May.”
