The Chrisley Knows Best star joined Whoopi Goldberg<\/a>, Joy Behar,<\/a> Sara Haines<\/a> and Sunny Hostin<\/a> on the show for a week amid Alyssa Farrah Griffin’s maternity leave,<\/a> and the experience was not what she expected it to be.<\/p>\n “I came into this with some ideas of what was gonna happen,” Chrisley, 28, told the show’s executive producer Brian Teta on The View’s Behind the Table<\/a> podcast as she reflected on her experience as a guest host.<\/p>\n “I thought Whoopi and Joy were gonna be a pain in my ass and just these mean women, and I was wrong,” she said. “And it goes to show: stop judging.”<\/p>\n In fact, Chrisley said that she and Behar “had a blast off-camera” and she called the longtime host “hysterical.”<\/p>\n “She was asking me about my parents, and she’s like, ‘What did they go to prison for?’ I go, ‘Joy, you should know, you called them tax cheats,’ ” Chrisley revealed of their off-camera conversations, referring to Todd<\/a> and Julie Chrisley<\/a>‘s 2019 indictment on 12 counts of bank and wire fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy<\/a>. The couple was pardoned<\/a> by President Donald Trump<\/a> in May.<\/p>\n “It’s the funniest thing, though, you literally tell her something and she talks about it and then she forgets it,” Savannah said of Behar.<\/p>\n Teta told Savannah what Behar had to say about her, too. “She enjoyed you today, too, she told me, which is fun,” he said.<\/p>\n “I was nervous,” Savannah admitted. “I’m the only one at the table who believes differently … I thought there was gonna be some contention.”<\/p>\n ABC<\/p>\n Savannah did not emerge completely unscathed during her week-long guest host term, though. On Thursday, Feb. 19, she caused quite a stir as she defended Trump, 79, against the other hosts’ claims that he is racist<\/a>.<\/p>\n After a clip of what Goldberg described as Trump “tout[ing] his relationship with the Black community” was played, Savannah said that she understands people taking issue with Trump\u2019s \u201crants,” but \u201cwhat\u2019s so hard for me to witness is people stating that the president is a racist, because I\u2019ve seen him firsthand.\u201d<\/p>\n Hostin was quick to counter that and assert that Trump “is a racist,” but Savannah continued: \u201cHe saved one of my best friends’ lives. A Black woman who has been with him for 18 years.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo he has a Black friend,” Hostin said. “He’s a racist.”<\/p>\n![\"Savannah](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/37dbf4bc5c733265fed95c1b5aa54f84.jpeg\"\/)
