Elisabeth Hasselbeck returns to 'The View' after slamming Joy Behar

Elisabeth Hasselbeckis back on"The View,"over a decade after leaving her post at the morning talk show in 2013.

Hasselbeck,a onetime"Survivor" contestantand current-dayconservative commentator, returned to the show Monday, joining hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro for the "hot topics" segment.

Joy Behar, a "View" titan who does not appear on Mondays, was absent − perhaps for the best given Hasselbeck's comments in 2025 slamming the 83-year-old comedian's criticism ofCarrie Underwood'sperformance at President Donald Trump's second inauguration.

"Civil discourse is not dead. We might have differences of opinion, but we love each other and we're stronger," Hasselbeck said during her appearance March 2. "I actually think for the young people watching it's important to see that … we can hold our positions in one hand, and each other's hand in the other, and be able to just live as Americans with the freedom that we have and speak our hearts and minds."

"We get to do that all week. It might get a little spicy at times, but we do not hate each other, we love each other," she continued. "We have the freedom to do it, and it's important to remind everybody of that."

Following comments from Behar calling Underwood "Un-American" for performing at Trump's 2025 inauguration, Hasselbeck took her former coworker to task, accusing her in a Fox News appearance shortly after of attempting "to attach her name to Carrie Underwood's name so that she maintains relevance because she knows the ship is sinking."

Whether the two are truly ready to bury the hatchet remains to be seen, however, with Behar's return to the table slated for Tuesday.

Hasselbeck is one of several temporary guest hosts scheduled to fill in for Alyssa Farah Griffin, "The View's" current conservative commentator and former Trump White House staffer. Griffin is on maternity leave after welcoming a son earlier this month.
