The View faces a shocking absence as Alyssa Farah Griffin’s sudden disappearance leaves fans questioning what really happened.NH
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin was strangely absent on The View on Wednesday, October 5, the day after Election Day. The conservative panelist was present for the popular ABC talk show on Monday and Tuesday during the week, particularly for the interview with political firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene. The host also appeared on a panel with CNN on Tuesday night when she covered the live results for various races in New York, California, and other states with Van Jones and Anderson Cooper. So it’s surprising that she was absent on The View on Wednesday to comment on the results.
Whoopi Goldberg shares possible reason why Alyssa Griffin is absent
At the top of The View episode on Wednesday, fellow cohost Whoopi Goldberg said to the audience, “I have to let you know, Alyssa’s not here today. She’ll probably be back tomorrow. Feel better soon.”
This suggests that Griffin is sick and needs to recover before returning to the program.
It should be noted that the former press secretary for President Trump is expecting her first child with her husband, Justin Griffin, after publicly struggling many years with infertility. It required several years of IVF treatments for the 36-year-old host to become pregnant.
Griffin announced that she was expecting on The View in early October when she was around four to five months pregnant, given that she said the baby was due in February 2026. So it would be understandable that the host would want to play it safe if she was not feeling well to recover at home instead of appearing on the program.
Some fans of the show speculated on X (formerly Twitter) that Alyssa didn’t appear because Democrats swept the elections on Tuesday. One commenter wrote, “Alyssa is at home crying after last night’s election.”
As Goldberg mentions, Griffin is slated to return to The View on Thursday. It’s still unclear when the host could leave the show temporarily for maternity leave.
