Whoopi Goldberg is giving fans a different View to kick off the week... the view from her home!
The View co-host, 70, opened the show's Monday, Feb. 23 broadcast by revealing that she was calling in remotely from her home amid New York City's latest snowstorm.
After a major Nor’easter slammed the East Coast the night before, Goldberg and her fellow panelists began The View on Monday by letting viewers know that they were without Goldberg — who decided to participate instead via a video call as her seat at the Hot Topics table was left empty.
"I’m coming to you remotely because this crazy, historic blizzard that is slamming the East Coast has snowed me in," Goldberg, 70, said.
"We even told the audience, ‘Stay home!' I mean, come on! Look at it out there, it’s a little nutty."

Indeed, The View was without its usual audience on Monday, as a live shot showed several other empty seats in the show's studio. Still, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro appeared at the Hot Topics table, along with conservative commentator Amanda Carpenter joining as guest co-host.
Both The View and Live with Kelly and Mark previously went without their audiences on Jan. 26, following the city's last notable snowstorm. Live with Kelly and Mark was also without a standard audience on Monday, as Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos revealed they had to make their own adjustments before their latest episode.

"Mark and I spent the night in a hotel last night," Ripa, 55, told viewers.
"The hotel across the street from the studio. Which, I thought would be an easy commute, but as it turns out, it was a very difficult commute because drudging through the snow [was hard] and the wind was very blustery," she added.
The latest storm to hit New York City is being billed by officials as potentially one of the 10 worst to hit the city in 150 years, per NBC News. The Nor’easter will continue to pummel the Eastern Seaboard through Wednesday, Feb. 25, according to the National Weather Service.

During the show's Jan. 26 episode, after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency due to dangerous weather conditions following the state's previous snowstorm, The View's panel jokingly waved at empty seats when they walked out on set.
"Hello, hello, and welcome to The View, y'all," Goldberg said before noting that they had no live audience for the day. "I have to tell you, we hope that everyone watching is safe from the storm that walloped a lot of the country this weekend."
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
