‘The View’ cohost Joy Behar confirmed ‘we’re alive’ after a New York City earthquake led to requests for tequila, screaming dogs, and Beyoncé distractions: ‘I’m going to church this weekend.’
The View hosts call for tequila amid NYC earthquake chaos: ‘We’re alive!’
“Between the earthquake and the eclipse, I’m going to church this weekend,” Ana Navarro said.
Who do we turn to for emergency preparedness measures when the earth literally rattles under our feet? Seismologists? No. Science-subscribing government officials? Absolutely not. The correct answer is: the ladies of The View, who confirmed live on air that they did indeed survive Friday’s shocking New York City-area earthquake that shook the Hot Topics table harder than a vibration from Joy Behar’s cell phone.
Minutes after the 4.8-magnitude earthquake barreled through the region, the cohosts walked out to start Friday’s show with Carole King’s 1971 hit “I Feel the Earth Move” playing overhead, before Behar issued firm confirmation that all involved soldiered through the disaster.
“It looks like we’re alive!” Behar said as the audience applauded. “Alive and live in New York, where we just had a 4.8! Did you all feel it?”
“I need some tequila now,” Ana Navarro joked, before turning attention to her beloved dog, ChaCha Cardeñas. “This is too much for me. My dog started barking and running down the hallway, like, mom, the earth is shaking, get your ass up and run with me.”
While the studio audience, Behar, and Navarro — who said she’s “going to church this weekend” following the nearly near-death experience — appeared somewhat shaken by the earthquake, legal expert Sunny Hostin hilariously revealed that she “didn’t feel a thing” when it began.
“Our offices are right next door to each other. I was listening to Beyoncé, ‘Jolene,’ talking to my fabulous hair and makeup team,” she said, to which Navarro responded: “Maybe because you have no feelings.”
Conservative panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin recalled a similarly harrowing time in 2011, when an earthquake shook the east coast while the former Donald Trump White House staffer worked in Washington, D.C.
“I had to hide under a desk with Laura Ingraham,” Griffin recalled of her safety measures at the time. “So, you can imagine how terrifying that was.”
Before moving on to cover other Hot Topics of the day, Behar revealed that Friday’s quake was the third she’d felt in her lifetime. “The second one, I was in the Bronx in bed with my husband. He used to live in the Bronx,” she told her colleague. “I said, ‘I feel the earth shake under me, was it you or was it the earthquake? But, I gave him a 4.8.”
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC. Watch the cohosts discuss the New York City earthquake above.
