‘The View’ Keeps Medics on Standby During Alyssa Farah Griffin’s On-Air Baby Shower

Oh, baby! Things got extra real on The View this week.

On Tuesday, February 3, the daytime talk show went live with emergency medical personnel on standby as hosts celebrated mom-to-be Alyssa Farah Griffin — just in case she went into labor mid-show, per The Wrap.

The ABC set was transformed into a full-blown baby shower for Griffin, 35, who is expecting her first child, a baby boy, later this month. Adding to the suspense, the studio audience was purposefully packed with other pregnant women, prompting producers to prepare for every possible scenario.

“Today, we are leaving nothing to chance,” quipped Whoopi Goldberg at the top of the episode. “There’s a doctor, a nurse on standby, paramedics on call, and an ambulance ready to go outside.”

Cameras even panned to prove medical professionals were in place, though, thankfully, no emergency deliveries were needed.

The show marked a full circle moment for Griffin, who has been open about conceiving via IVF and previously revealed her pregnancy on-air in October — a moment that stunned her cohosts. The announcement also doubled as payback after Goldberg, 69, once jokingly asked if she was pregnant on live TV in 2023.

“You’re going to be very tired, but you’ll be happily tired,” said Goldberg in a montage of well wishes from her View cohosts that Griffin shared to her Instagram post-show.

“I can’t wait to celebrate this new person with you.”
