Brand new episodes of SceneA whole new look at one of the talk show’s temperamental co-hosts.
Ahead of Tuesday’s Season 28 premiere of the long-running show, ABC released the following promotional photo of Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farrah Griffin.
Can you explain the reason why it created such a stir on social media?
Sunny Hostin’s new look in ‘The View’
As you can immediately see, Hostin’s hair is much shorter than before… perhaps she changed her look in response to her youngest child going off to college.
He is now an empty-nester.
They have more time to focus on their style.
We mean… compare Sunny Hostin above to the one who posed on the red carpet just a month before the September 3 rerun of The View:
Yes. It’s really the same person.
“Is Sunny gone??” One social media person actually asked after seeing the first photo posted here, with another prompting this person to correct it by saying that she is “on the far left, next to Joey.”
Another fan added:
“Didn’t recognize you in the group photo. You look absolutely 100% amazing, my love.”
Is the new season too political?
As for the substance of Scene Season 28?
Executive producer Brian Teta said, “We’re excited to again discuss the topics our audience really cares about.”
“The breakneck pace of the news cycle fuels our co-hosts’ opinions, resulting in some of the most incredible conversations.
“This show really thrives during presidential election season, and with the move to our new downtown studio for Season 28 just two months before Election Day, I think the best is yet to come.”
In preparation for the big day in November, the hosts welcomed several of the left’s biggest political stars. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Governor Josh Shapiro, Representative Nancy Pelosi, and of course, Vice President Kamala Harris, whose appearance was a key stop on her campaign.
In the weeks since the election, the panel has clashed at times, with Hostin and Goldberg being the loudest voices against Trump’s return to the White House.
It’s possible that next year, not just Ben Hostin, but the entire panel will be unrecognizable.
