Elisabeth Hasselbeck Returns to ‘The View’ as Guest Host & Shares Surprising Message
Elisabeth Hasselbeck temporarily returns to The View to cover for Alyssa Farah Griffin during maternity leave, joining the panel for the show's hot topics segment.
- On March 2, 2026, Elisabeth Hasselbeck returned to The View more than a decade after leaving in 2013, joining co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro for the "hot topics" segment.
- Filling in for Alyssa Farah Griffin, Hasselbeck served as one of several temporary guest hosts while Griffin is on maternity leave after welcoming a son earlier this month.
- During the "hot topics" segment, Hasselbeck emphasized, 'We might have differences of opinion, but we love each other and we're stronger,' adding it's important for young people to see unity.
- With Behar off the table Monday, Hasselbeck's past criticism over Carrie Underwood's 'Un-American' comment may hinder reconciliation when Behar returns Tuesday.
- As a former "Survivor" contestant and conservative commentator, Elisabeth Hasselbeck's return prompted public reaction, with Rosie O'Donnell calling the fight with Hasselbeck a 'set up' amid past disputes between co-hosts.
