Whoopi Returns: The View's Empty Chair Mystery Solved
24 Feb
Summary
- Whoopi Goldberg returned to her physical chair at The View after a virtual appearance.
- The show experienced an empty studio audience due to a major snowstorm.
- This marks the second time in a month the show lacked a live audience.

Whoopi Goldberg has returned to her physical chair at The View's Hot Topics table following a virtual appearance during a recent blizzard. The previous day's broadcast saw the show's audience risers empty due to a significant snowstorm that blanketed New York City.
While Goldberg rejoined her cohosts in the studio, the audience remained absent for the second time in under a month. The Jan. 26 telecast also lacked a live studio audience due to severe weather conditions in the city. The empty chair on Monday was reportedly a stylistic choice for Goldberg's virtual reveal, with the chair later removed.
The cohosts engaged in lighthearted banter about Goldberg's return and the persistent snow. Despite the weather's impact on the live audience, the show continued its Hot Topics segment with the on-air talent present in the Manhattan studio.
