Why Is Sara Haines Missing From ‘The View’ Today?

Whoopi Goldberg had a busy schedule as she was in Los Angeles the previous night to pay tribute to Quincy Jones at the 2025 Oscars but still made it back to New York in time for Monday’s episode of The View. Surprisingly, fellow co-host Sara Haines was conspicuously absent from the Hot Topics table during the show.

On Monday’s episode, viewers were greeted with a smaller panel comprising Goldberg, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, with regular co-host Joy Behar missing, as she typically takes Mondays off. The absence of Haines from the show left fans wondering about her unexpected break.

In the previous episode featuring Haines, she was engaging with her co-hosts and the guest host Ariana DeBose until Behar injected some dramatic moments into the conversation. Despite the absence of Haines, the remaining panel members carried on with the show, diving into intriguing discussions and hot topics.

During a discussion about some Real Housewives beef over who made more money, Behar wondered if anyone at The View had “ever gone that low” during an argument.

While most of the co-hosts stayed silent or said no, Haines gave suggested “maybe” when Behar kept grilling for answers. DeBose, of course, sat quietly and sipped from her View mug, much to the delight of the audience.

Without Haines around today, we’re all wondering where she’s been and when she’ll be back. Here’s what we know so far.

When The View opened its Monday show, Goldberg did not say much about Haines’ absence. After the ladies walked out to the Hot Topics table, she told the audience, “Sara is out today,” then was distracted by Navarro briefly dropping her notecards. After that, the conversation seamlessly transitioned into Oscars chatter.

We’re not yet sure when we’ll see Haines again, but we’ve got our fingers crossed that she’ll be back on the show tomorrow. DECIDER has reached out to The View for more information.
