“The View” will return on ABC for Season 29 on Sept. 8, the network announced.
The top-rated daytime talk show features hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
“This is why you should always keep coming back to ‘The View,’ because you never know what’s going to happen,” Goldberg says in a teaser clip of the new season released on YouTube.
According to 1iota, the free ticketing service used by the series, upcoming guests for “The View” include Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Hemming Willis, and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Sept. 9. On Sept. 11, “Barbie” Oscar nominee America Ferrera will join the program, which will tape a show with “Shrinking” actor Michael Urie, presumably to air the following day.
Matthew McConaughey will appear on the Sept. 15 show alongside former Senator Joe Manchin. John Edward, Marlon Wayans and Robin Wright will be on “The View” on Sept. 16, and Lily James will appear later that week. Guests in the following days include Priscilla Presley, “Shark Tank” stars Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John, Regina Hall, Gloria Estefan, Tim Allen, and Glen Powell and Eli Manning.
Created by Barbara Walters, “The View” aired its first season in 1997. The show has always featured a multi-generational panel of women who analyze and debate topical issues relating to politics, culture and entertainment. The series has long been embroiled in controversy and, dating back to Rosie O’Donnell’s tenure as a host, has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. In July, after Behar claimed on the program that Trump is “jealous” of former President Barack Obama, a spokesperson for Trump blasted “The View,” calling Behar an “irrelevant loser” and saying the show is “the next to be pulled off air.”
