So, here’s the deal. Sara Haines, the always-charming co-host of The View, recently opened up about an awkward—but totally relatable—moment she had with none other than Andrew McCarthy backstage. And let me tell you, it’s the kind of story we can all relate to, especially if you’ve ever been starstruck in a professional setting.
Andrew McCarthy Joins The View to Discuss His New Doc
Andrew McCarthy, the legendary actor who turned 61 this year, stopped by The View to talk about his latest project, a documentary called Brats. This isn’t just any documentary—it’s a deep dive into the legendary Brat Pack of the '80s, the group of young actors who practically defined coming-of-age films back in the day. Now, Sara Haines, who’s 46 and a huge fan of those classic movies, was absolutely thrilled to have him on the show.
Why the Documentary Resonates Beyond the Brat Pack
During The View’s “Behind the Table” podcast, Sara shared her excitement about the documentary, calling it both fascinating and nostalgic. She mentioned how it’s not just for Brat Pack superfans but for anyone who’s ever felt intimidated or unsure about life. The documentary, according to Sara, offers a powerful lesson about how we perceive challenges and successes. “It’s not just about the Brat Pack,” she said. “It’s about what you take away from their stories, and how you apply it to your own life.”

Backstage Chaos: Sara’s Embarrassing Moment
Sara admitted that she was so hyped about meeting Andrew that she practically went into overdrive. “I was so gunned up,” she confessed. In her eagerness, she decided to approach Andrew backstage during a commercial break. “I told him everything I could think of as fast as I could because I kept hearing the countdown,” she laughed. But her excitement didn’t stop there. Once Andrew was back on set, Sara continued chatting with him during the segment, and even after the cameras stopped rolling, she couldn’t help but keep the conversation going.
“I was watching the camera because I knew everyone would want to talk to him, and I wanted to make sure I got to ask him my question,” she explained. “So I kind of ambushed him right after the cameras were off. People were circling around for a group photo, and I was still talking to him. It was a little much, to say the least.”
The Awkward Interruption
Just as Sara was trying to wrap up her conversation with Andrew, Whoopi Goldberg stepped in, leaving Sara feeling a little lost in the moment. “It was like this awkward sentence hanging in the air,” she recalled. “I didn’t quite finish what I wanted to say, so I kind of hovered around him. I was following him, and when he finally walked away, I could feel the heat rising in my face. It was so mortifying. His body language was like, ‘Girl, enough already.’”
The Aftermath: Sara’s Apology
Feeling embarrassed, Sara decided to reach out to Andrew’s representatives to apologize for her overzealous behavior. “I sent a note to our PR person because she works with his team, and I was like, ‘Can you apologize for me? I was just so excited,’” she laughed. Thankfully, Andrew seemed to take it all in stride. “She told me not to worry about it. He loved what I had to say,” Sara added. “But honestly, I was thinking, ‘Yeah, sure, he’s just being polite. Super weird and socially awkward, girl, stop.’”
