Overview
- Behar, 83, rejoined the Hot Topics table on Tuesday, Feb. 3, during a baby-shower episode honoring Alyssa Farah Griffin.
- She had been off the air since the Jan. 23 broadcast, missing six consecutive episodes, two of which were pre-scheduled due to the show’s rotating days off.
- During her return, Behar did not detail the illness that kept her out, leaving the precise cause undisclosed.
- Whoopi Goldberg had told viewers last week that Behar was out because she was not feeling well and urged her to return soon.
- The View adjusted its lineup during the absence, with Goldberg moderating on her usual Friday off and Ana Navarro filling in as needed.
