After The COVID-19 Fiasco On “The View,” Ana Navarro Says She’s Tested Negative Twice

September 25, 2021 / Posted by:

On yesterday’s live taping of The View, the show got two unexpected guest hosts in the form of positive COVID-19 tests. One quick Whoopi fart second before Vice President Kamala Harris was supposed to come out, co-hosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin were told by a producer to GTFO because they had just tested positive for Coronavirus. It was a moment almost as awkward as Kelly Osbourne thinking she really did something when she asked Donald Trump who’s going to clean his toilets if he deports Latino immigrants. Okay, not nearly as messy as that. But after some screamed STUNT and others thought that this was all a ruse to get out of asking Kamala Harris the tough questions about the situation at the border, Ana Navarro piped up to say that they were all ready to ask the hard questions and added that she’s since taken two more Coronavirus tests and both came back negative.

The View is back in the studio this season after the pandemic kept their asses at home last season. Producers say that they’re taking all kinds of precautions. All of the co-hosts (Ana, Sunny, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and Sara Haines) are reportedly vaccinated and they get tested regularly. Ana and Sunny got a rapid test before yesterday’s show and left the set after they were told their tests were positive. The show went on with just Joy and Sara and the Kamala interview happened, but it was cut short and Kamala did the interview via live feed from backstage.

Ana, who is quarantining in a hotel room, talked about it on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 last night. Now, if I was Ana, I would’ve started the interview by asking Anderson Cooper to tell me more about how his mom, the late Gloria Vanderbilt, wanted to be his surrogate at 85 years old. But instead of talking about that, Ana went into the COVID test drama on The View and said it was like out of an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Um, if Larry David wasn’t sitting in the front row plugging his ears with his fingers, it was not like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Ana told Anderson that none of the co-hosts ever came in contact with Vice-President Kamala Harris and that they were all ready to hit her with tough questions but then those positive COVID tests hit them instead:

“It takes so much work to do an interview like this and it’s something that we were excited about,” she said. “We were prepared to ask some tough questions. We were very proud to have the vice president come on The View and all of a sudden it turned into like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was just surreal.”

She added, “Now, because of COVID the table at The View is like the size of an aircraft carrier. Joy [Behar] is clear on the other side. I don’t think she sees the commotion of what Sunny and I are told by the executive producer, Brian Teta, that this is happening. And of course it’s a very awkward moment. It’s puzzling. You’ve got a hundred things going through your head.”

It was reported that both Ana and Sunny immediately took another rapid antigen test backstage and both came back negative. Ana confirmed that to Anderson and also said that she took a PCR test and that came back negative too. So Ana thinks her positive test was a false positive. Sunny hasn’t said shit about this yet.

And of course, The View terror turned Daily Mail writer, Meghan McCain, couldn’t stay quiet and probably got smug about this on Twitter. After hearing that some of her former co-workers may have caught COVID, Meghan tweeted (and later deleted) about trusting your instincts. via Popculture:

Hours later, McCain Tweeted, “Trust your instincts, kids,” along with a social media moving GIF featuring Clint Eastwood’s Blondie character in the 1966 movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Fans took it as a shot that McCain feels she made the best decision to leave to show after four years as co-host.

“Trust your instincts,” said the mess whose instincts regularly told her to plop a mop of bleached blond fuckery on her head.
