The injury created an unusual opening at the center of the Hot Topics table because the show\u2019s regular moderator, Whoopi Goldberg, was already away for a previously scheduled acting job.<\/p>\n<p>Sunny Hostin broke the news at the start of the October 1 broadcast. \u201cUnfortunately, our dear friend Joy dislocated her shoulder,\u201d she told viewers, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/joy-behar-dislocates-shoulder-misses-the-view-12151431\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, before adding that Behar is recovering and \u201cwill be back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither Behar nor the show has publicly explained how the 83-year-old injured herself, and no specific return date has been announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With Goldberg unavailable and Behar unable to step into her usual backup role, Hostin became Thursday\u2019s moderator. Former cohost Sherri Shepherd was also at the table, but her return had already been scheduled before Behar\u2019s injury and was not part of the last-minute reshuffling.<\/p>\n<h2>Hostin Found Herself in the Moderator Chair Instead<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/joy-behar-dislocates-shoulder-prompting-last-minute-moderator-shake-up-on-the-view\/about:blank\" width=\"500\" height=\"463\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-rocket-lazyload=\"fitvidscompatible\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fentertainmentweekly%2Fposts%2Fpfbid04d6MPsupCZ5PUPioGKrncVtwpjjzdHvvLKjW4SerGKVG65jT4rgwxsAqRHTd6giJl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fentertainmentweekly%2Fposts%2Fpfbid04d6MPsupCZ5PUPioGKrncVtwpjjzdHvvLKjW4SerGKVG65jT4rgwxsAqRHTd6giJl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"463\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Hostin acknowledged immediately that sitting in the center seat was unusual. With Goldberg and Behar both absent, she joked that \u201cthe two OGs are out today\u201d and that the assignment had apparently gone to the \u201cnext oldest\u201d cohost before revising that description to \u201cseasoned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hostin has been a permanent <em>View<\/em> cohost since 2016, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/abc.com\/cast\/72204caf-9f95-4119-aff9-faf818df6eff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ABC\u2019s official biography<\/a>. She regularly leads individual discussions at the table, but the formal moderator role has generally belonged to Goldberg, with Behar serving as the principal substitute when Goldberg is away.<\/p>\n<h2>Goldberg\u2019s Absence Had Been Planned for Weeks<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/whoopi-goldberg-the-view-hiatus-why-she-wont-be-on-show-12125633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Entertainment Weekly previously reported<\/a> that Goldberg would miss several broadcasts over a roughly two-week period while filming the Netflix movie <em>Women Like Us<\/em>, while still returning for Monday episodes when her shooting schedule allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Production on the movie officially began in late September. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/tudum\/articles\/women-like-us-cast-release-date-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Netflix\u2019s Tudum<\/a> lists Goldberg alongside Jenifer Lewis, Vanessa Williams and Vivica A. Fox in the dramedy, which follows a recently widowed woman taken to the Hamptons by her sister and longtime friends on what would have been her 30th wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>The film is directed by Tasha Smith and produced by MACRO Film Studios and Higher Ground, the production company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama. Netflix lists Michelle Obama as an executive producer for Higher Ground, making the movie the reason Goldberg was already away when Behar\u2019s injury disrupted Thursday\u2019s hosting plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Sherri Shepherd\u2019s Return Was Already on ABC\u2019s Schedule<\/h2>\n<p>Shepherd\u2019s presence could have looked like another emergency substitution, but ABC had announced her return well before Thursday\u2019s broadcast. The network\u2019s official September 25 schedule listed Shepherd as the October 1 guest cohost as part of a series of former <em>View<\/em> personalities temporarily returning during Goldberg\u2019s filming absence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detpress.com\/abcnews\/pressrelease\/guest-lineup-on-americas-most-watched-daytime-talk-show-the-view-sept-28-oct-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ABC\u2019s weekly lineup<\/a> scheduled Lisa Ling for September 29, Debbie Matenopoulos for September 30 and Shepherd for October 1.
