The View’s Sara Haines jumps in to defend Whoopi Goldberg after the co-host chases after her in an awkward live moment

THE View’s Sara Haines was quick to defend Whoopi Goldberg on a recent episode of the talk show.

The 45-year-old has tried to sternly correct co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin after watching the presenter live on air.

The awkward back-and-forth happened during Thursday’s broadcast of The View.

The hosts welcomed actor Kit Harington to the table for the first time, and there was a bit of a dispute over who’s the biggest fan of his show Game of Thrones.

The fight was between Alyssa and Whoopi, and while the latter didn’t feel the need to defend herself, Sara did it for her.

After Whoopi asked Kit a few questions and spent some time with him, Alyssa tried to move things forward to get her own time with the actor.

Alyssa held out her arms and chimed in, “You’ve got to let the biggest Game of Thrones fans talk at the table!”

She then added, “No, I’m just kidding,” but Sara then interjected, still focused on Alyssa’s first comment.

The Chase star held up her index finger and simply said, “No, no, no, no, no,” but she couldn’t say more before Alyssa started asking Kit her questions.

After the newcomer was done, Sara brought everything up again to continue defending Whoopi.

“Well, Alyssa said she’s the biggest Game of Thrones fan, but Whoopi has a real Iron Throne in her dressing room,” the host said.

Whoopi laughed and the show put up a picture of it with the decoration on the wall behind the toilet.

It was the spikes of the throne that sat on the toilet in her dressing room.

“And the seat is heated,” joked Sunny.

Whoopi then said they had tried to get everyone from Game of Thrones to be on The View since the drama aired, but the schedules never worked out.

After finally figuring everything out and getting Kit on the show, Whoopi shared how happy she was.

The presenter told him: “This is a show I’ve loved to watch from day one.

“And still, if I want to see something really funny, that’s where I go.

“Because it’s a great show, and thank you for that!”

The day before Alyssa and Whoopi’s argument, the couple were having other issues with each other on the show.

The newcomer left the presenter confused during the live show after failing to return to the stage after the commercial break ended.

After welcoming viewers back to the show, Whoopi looked around in confusion and asked, “You know Alyssa isn’t here?”

The camera panned out to reveal an empty seat where Alyssa would normally be sitting.

Whoopi asked, “Where is she? Does anyone know?”

The hosts looked around to see if they could figure out where Alyssa had suddenly disappeared to.

“No,” Joy Behar replied before Alyssa walked back to the set.

Carrying a poster of Joy, which Alyssa previously revealed had happened to have been left in her dressing room, she said she went to retrieve it to “return it to its rightful owner”.
