Overview
- Savannah Chrisley guest-hosted The View from February 16–20, filling Alyssa Farah Griffin’s conservative seat during her maternity leave.
- Her stint featured a tense exchange with Sunny Hostin over whether President Donald Trump is racist, with Whoopi Goldberg citing examples including a racist post about the Obamas and actions targeting DEI.
- On The View’s Behind the Table podcast, Chrisley said she misjudged Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar and described an off-camera conversation with Hostin that eased tensions.
- Executive producer Brian Teta and Hostin defended inviting Trump supporters as part of the show’s mission to feature different viewpoints and praised Chrisley’s composure at the table.
