The View didn't air a new episode on Friday, April 3 - but when will the show return? The long-running talk show kicked off its annual spring hiatus on Friday. The View typically does not air a new episode the Friday before Easter, which falls on Sunday, April 5. In its place, ABC aired a repeat of The View that featured Elisabeth Hasselbeck as a guest panelist alongside cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines and Ana Navarro. The show has been rotating a series of guest hosts since Alyssa Farrah Griffin went on maternity leave in February.
