New York was shaken by a 4.8 magnitude earthquake on Friday morning, surprising people across the country. However, the hosts of “The View” had fun with it, beginning the show with a pretty appropriate song.
The women entered the stage to Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move,” and Joy Behar joked “It looks like we’re alive! We’re alive and live in New York.”
Before they could even get into it, the ABC hosts were interrupted by their phones ringing with an emergency alert, presumably about the earthquake. ABC censored the sound, and Ana Navarro’s explanation was only partially audible on the television broadcast.
Apparently, only half the hosts actually felt the earthquake. According to Sunny Hostin, she was listening to Beyoncé in her dressing room and totally missed it, but host Ana Navarro was alerted to the situation by her dog barking.
Behar was pretty unfazed by it all, saying that she’s experienced three earthquakes in her life now, one of which was also in New York. Friday morning’s quake also wasn’t a first for Alyssa Farah Griffin, but it was far less scary, in her opinion.
“The last one I was in, it was in DC in 2011,” Farah Griffin said. “I had to hide under a desk with Laura Ingraham. So you can imagine how terrifying that was.”
“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
