Behar’s play has scheduled stops in Paris and London. She said she will spend time moving from France to the United Kingdom. The production will run at the Boulevard Theatre in London’s West End.

She added she will perform alongside Jackie Hoffman and two British actors. Behar said the trip will be full of performances as well as time for writing and cultural visits.

Teta confirmed Behar will remain on “The View” through the end of the week. He added multiple guest cohosts will rotate in while she is away.

Those replacements include comedian Sheryl Underwood, who previously filled in amid earlier absences on the panel. Podcast host Kara Swisher is also scheduled to fill in.

Ana Navarro, who regularly appears on specific days of the week, is expected to appear more while Behar is away.

Whoopi Goldberg, who normally takes Fridays off, is expected to appear on those episodes during the gap.

“I don’t think she knows yet, but I’ll let her know that she’s going to be here,” Teta joked of Goldberg having to come in on her days off.

Behar, a long-running voice on the panel, has remained a central figure since returning to the program in 2015 following her original run during the show’s inception in 1997, per the outlet.
