Sara Eisen, a fill-in conservative cohost on “The View,” has shared her experience working with the panelists on the show, as she temporarily fills in for Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is on maternity leave. During her second day on set, Eisen expressed her enjoyment of the dynamic on the show, engaging with her fellow panelists—Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, and Ana Navarro—about the unique atmosphere of the program.
Eisen, who is accustomed to a more business-centric reporting style due to her role at CNBC, described the discussions on “The View” as both more enjoyable and spontaneous. “First of all, you guys are all wonderful and gracious. It’s a pleasure to be here, as someone who’s watched the show forever,” she noted. Her observations highlighted the authenticity of the conversations, which, while appearing seamless on television, embrace a level of spontaneity. Notably, she remarked on how many cohosts forgo earpieces, further fostering the natural flow of dialogue.
Eisen’s comments reflect a broader theme shared by recent fill-in cohosts. Amanda Carpenter and Savannah Chrisley, who have also taken temporary roles on the show, echoed similar sentiments about the importance of open communication and respect, despite differing beliefs. Chrisley, in particular, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to engage in difficult discussions while highlighting commonalities among panelists.
Looking ahead, several guest cohosts are scheduled to fill in for Griffin, including comedian Whitney Cummings and former cohost Abby Huntsman, alongside controversial alum Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who has had her share of public criticisms of the show.
“The View,” which airs weekdays on ABC, continues to evolve with its rotating roster of hosts, offering an engaging platform for diverse perspectives. Eisen’s positive experience thus far suggests a welcoming atmosphere, further enriching the show’s dynamic discussions.
