ABC’s daytime juggernaut The View isn’t taking its foot off the gas. Now deep into its 28th season, the show is packing the week of June 2 with a high-wattage guest slate that mixes politics, pop culture, and Broadway—all in line with its Hot Topics-first DNA.
Former President Bill Clinton and longtime collaborator James Patterson are booked for Thursday, June 5, to plug their latest joint novel, The First Gentleman: A Thriller. That headline appearance is part of a broader play to anchor each day with marquee names and buzzy projects.
Monday, June 2 kicks off with Ralph Macchio teeing up Karate Kid: Legends, which is currently part of Sony’s ongoing effort to extend the franchise beyond Cobra Kai. Tuesday brings Andy Cohen on the BravoCon beat and model-actress Kara Young promoting Broadway’s Purpose.
On Wednesday, Taraji P. Henson swings by to talk Straw, while Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells team up to hype their comedy I Don’t Understand You. That episode leans heavier into scripted content, matching the show’s push for crossover relevance with premium film and TV titles.
Thursday, in addition to Clinton and Patterson, will feature a musical performance from Broadway’s Dead Outlaw—keeping the show’s longtime theater pipeline alive.
Friday closes with Mark Hamill discussing The Life of Chuck, the Stephen King adaptation, alongside Brianne Howey, fresh off another round of Ginny & Georgia for Netflix.
Executive produced by Brian Teta and directed by Sarah de la O, The View continues to dominate the daytime landscape with a mix of unscripted firepower and headline-making bookings. Airs weekdays on ABC.
