Picture this: you're about to start your morning show, and suddenly the alarms blare, forcing an unexpected evacuation. That's exactly what happened to the co-hosts of The View on a chaotic Wednesday, April 10. Despite the disruption, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin showed their true colors by proving that the show must go on, even when life throws curveballs.
Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin were just moments away from going live when they had to rush out of the building. The source of the chaos? A fire that broke out in the neighboring studio where The Tamron Hall Show is filmed. It's the kind of story that could only happen in New York City, where drama is always just around the corner.

Thankfully, the fire was quickly contained by the brave fire fighters, who worked tirelessly to ensure everyone's safety. Once the coast was clear, the The View hosts were allowed back into the building to prep for the episode. To lighten the mood and acknowledge the morning's unexpected events, they made a playful entrance to Billy Joel's iconic 1989 hit, "We Didn’t Start the Fire." It was a clever nod to the situation and a reminder that sometimes laughter is the best medicine.

It was clear that the experience had shaken everyone, but the hosts turned the situation into an opportunity to bond and laugh. Alyssa, the youngest member of the panel, shared her immediate concerns after the evacuation. "It really made me understand my priorities," she joked. "Once I saw all the hosts were fine, my next thought was, 'Where’s my glam team?' I mean, leave Brian Teta, our executive producer, behind, but as long as hair and makeup are safe, we’re good to go!" Her quip brought a wave of laughter from the audience and her co-hosts.
Whoopi, ever practical, revealed her first instinct during the evacuation. "I grabbed my purse," she admitted with a grin. "When that happens, and you’re evacuating, you snatch up your purse because that’s your ID, your life, your whole world!" Her honesty resonated with the audience, reminding everyone of the small but crucial details we cling to during emergencies.

Host Ana Navarro had a unique experience during the fire. She was traveling to NYC from Miami when the incident occurred. Instead of being evacuated, she joined a meeting via Zoom, only to find an eerie silence and flashing alarms on the other end. "I was coming in from the airport and pressed the Zoom link, thinking I’d find all of you on the call," she recounted during the broadcast. "Instead, it was dark, empty, and filled with alarms and flashing lights. I thought, 'Holy hell!' It was surreal." Her story added a layer of humor to the already chaotic morning.

Tamron addressed her audience with grace, saying, "Hi everybody, welcome to the show. I know this looks a little different around here. I’m live in front of a black screen because something unprecedented has happened in the five seasons of the show. Unfortunately, we’re not able to air the show scheduled for today." Her calm demeanor reassured her audience, showing her professionalism even in the face of adversity.
