Explained simply
The View is an American daytime talk show in which a group of women discuss news and popular culture. It began in 1997 and is known for bringing together presenters with different backgrounds and opinions.
Whoopi Goldberg is one of the programme’s co-hosts, alongside Joy Behar, whose family has Italian roots. The show’s connection with Italy also includes Goldberg’s guest appearance in the Italian soap opera Un Posto al Sole.
The programme’s anniversary is a milestone for a long-running US television format. Broadcasting abroad can also give the show a chance to connect its studio discussions with another country and its culture.
