Elisabeth Hasselbeck is back on "The View," over a decade after leaving her post at the morning talk show in 2013.
Hasselbeck, a onetime "Survivor" contestant and current-day conservative commentator, returned to the show Monday, joining hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro for the "hot topics" segment.
Joy Behar, a "View" titan who does not appear on Mondays, was absent − perhaps for the best given Hasselbeck's comments in 2025 slamming the 83-year-old comedian's criticism of Carrie Underwood's performance at President Donald Trump's second inauguration.

"Civil discourse is not dead. We might have differences of opinion, but we love each other and we're stronger," Hasselbeck said during her appearance March 2. "I actually think for the young people watching it's important to see that … we can hold our positions in one hand, and each other's hand in the other, and be able to just live as Americans with the freedom that we have and speak our hearts and minds."
