You never really know where a topic will lead on “The View.” For example, on Friday morning, a conversation about the solar eclipse led the hosts to veering off into a series of jokes about pleasure.
Celebrating Earth Day ahead of time — since “The View” will be on hiatus next week — the hosts brought on ABC News Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee to talk about environmental topics. Naturally, Zee also reported live on the solar eclipse from Illinois, in the path of totality.
It turns out Zee was quite moved by witnessing the total eclipse, which mainly just confused Behar, who confessed she stayed indoors watching Netflix during the event. So, she asked Zee what all the excitement was about.
“What did I miss, exactly? Was there like some kind of pleasure I was supposed to have?” Behar joked.
Host Alyssa Farah Griffin smacked her forehead while laughing with the other hosts, as Ginger Zee joked that the time of totality brought a joy that was indeed similar to pleasure — one that lasted more than four minutes.
“Can you imagine, you missed that? Tough to re-create!” Zee joked.
Sara Haines joined in on teasing Behar about how long the eclipse lasted, before host Ana Navarro chimed in with similar feelings of regret as Behar.
“I missed it too and right now, after this conversation, I’m having a lot of remorse and regret!” Navarro said. “Four minutes?! When is it coming back?”
The conversation did manage to get back on track though, with the ladies simply giggling through it.
“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
