“Well, you know, they say there’s no place like home for the holidays and that’s exactly where we are today, so Happy New Year from all of our living rooms,” said Joy Behar in opening The View's first show of 2022 in place of Goldberg. “As you can see what back in boxes and doing the show remotely.” Behar went on to say that the current plan is to stay home for the week, adding, “but you never know because this omicron thing is all over the place. All over the place.” Behar said Goldberg will "be back probably next week. But since she’s vaxxed and boosted, her symptoms have been very, very mild.” ALSO: Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest host Live remotely "out of an abundance of caution."
