For more than twenty years, a group of qualified women have talked about some of the most important topics of the day. These topics could range from politics to music, movies, news stories, and everything in between. This show is called The View and was created by the legendary Barbara Walters. It is currently hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sunny Hostin, Sarah Haines, and Ana Navarro.
Recently, the ladies of The View were talking about an incredibly controversial ruling from an Alabama court. The court decided that frozen embryos counted as children, which had far-reaching ramifications for the women in the state. Many reproductive centers helping couples on their IVF (in vitro fertilization) journeys paused their operations.
One of the things that draws viewers in is hearing the women share their opinions on hot topics. However, one of the cohosts — Alyssa Farah Griffin — got a little off-topic. That led to a very uncomfortable moment, where she apologized to her cohosts, the audience, and even to herself.

Instead of talking about frozen embryos, Farah Griffin began talking about sperm. And her sperm thoughts had absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Instead, she mentioned an interesting way one could use sperm.
“You can freeze sperm, thaw it back out and use it to, uh… As a nice face cream.”
Farah Griffin quickly realized how awkward she had just made the conversation and apologized to everyone. She threw her hands up in the air and said, “Sorry, that’s gross.”
This is not the first time that hosts of the view have made headlines for outrageous things that they have said on air.
Actress and host Whoopi Goldberg has been at the center of controversy more than once.
In February 2022, ABC suspended the controversial cohost after she made some disturbing remarks about the Holocaust. Goldberg left the audience speechless when she claimed that the Holocaust was not about race. Instead, she said it was about “man’s inhumanity to man.” She ended up apologizing, and said that she had been taught more about the Jewish people and how they were a race of people.

In its more than 20 years on the air, The View has hosted everyone from former presidents like Barack Obama to pop stars, including Britney Spears. The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m.
