Whoopi Goldberg is taking an extended break from "The View," her co-host Joy Behar announced Monday on the daytime talk show.
The comedian and actor was absent this week from "The View" panel as Behar explained to the audience the reason for her hiatus. Filling in for Goldberg on Monday was Alyssa Farah Griffin, political commentator and former White House director of strategic communications under the Trump administration.
"If you're wondering where Whoopi is, the girl's got a movie she's making and she will be back when she finishes whatever she's doing," Behar said. "So she's gone for a while."
