"The ladies of The View are maintaining their right to express theirs. The current cast - Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro - finally discussed their network, ABC, suspending Jimmy Kimmel Live! following threats from the FCC that scared television-station owners. Though Kimmel's show was first suspended on September 17, The View didn't discuss the topic until Monday, September 22, just hours before Disney announced Kimmel's return."
""Did y'all really think we weren't going to talk about Jimmy Kimmel?" Whoopi Goldberg asked during the episode. "I mean, have you watched the show over the last 29 seasons? No one silences us." She started by explaining they "took a breath to see if Jimmy was going to say anything about it first." Goldberg noted, "We did the same thing for Stephen Colbert.""
