The View host Whoopi Goldberg said the show is “backing everybody up” in the Hollywood actor and writer strikes while hosting their first live television show since the Screen Actors Guild joined the Writers Guild of America on strike.
"Listen. We want to start with an explanation of why we’re still working when there is a SAG-AFTRA strike," Goldberg began the ABC show on Monday.

“Like the soap operas and game shows and news shows, we work under a different kind of contract which is called the network code which means that we are allowed to continue on,” the actress and television personality explained. “As we’re not actors at the table acting The View, it’s a different kind of context. So that’s why we’re still able to work.”
Goldberg added that she "supports" the efforts to "get a balance" in Hollywood and understands that they may need "do it as long as you need to it."

While The View hosts are not acting in their capacity as television hosts, the strike rules could mean that their A-list celebrity guest list could be sparse, if not nonexistent, for as long as the two Hollywood strikes continue.
In June, actor Dermot Mulroney made an abrupt exit on an appearance on The View while promoting his new Disney+ Marvel series Secret Invasion to show solidarity with the writers in the ongoing WGA strike.
