September 2021 marked one of the only times the “The View” hosts had a Q&A segment on the show. Half of the hosts weren’t present for the taping after testing positive for COVID-19, which left Joy Behar and Sara Haines to carry on the hosting duties. “We’re taking questions from the audience, which we never do,” Behar said. “But it’s better than just hearing us talk to each other.”
And because fans of the show seemed interested in getting advice from the hosts, they started a new Q&A segment called “View & A,” but it’s already proven to be hit or miss. On the March 7 episode, viewers could tell that Whoopi Goldberg wasn’t a fan of the new segment from the start. And when the hosts tried to give advice to a mother whose children weren’t on talking terms with each other, Behar said, “This is too heavy for me.” By the end of the segment, they still hadn’t come up with a piece of advice to solve the mother’s problem.

The talk show hosts showed how light-hearted and fun the new segment could be in the February 28 episode. They were trying to give advice to a husband who had an oversharing co-worker, and the discussion seemed to turn out better.
