Sara Haines took to Instagram with a little playful post basically saying: “Feel like we nailed it…” The indifferent caption allowed for any interpretation, but the video definitely placed viewers in at least a small light-hearted moment of pure joy between Haines and her View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin. Whether a win or a loss was never really spelled out in the video, but seeing glee between two television personalities was worth it.

Almost immediately, this post drew hundreds of comments from viewers who just couldn’t get enough of their chemistry. One said, “You two are so cute,” while another added, “I love the joy these two ladies share.” A flood of responses meant so much to the fans that love to watch the co-hosts share such a true friendship off-camera.
And then the few doubters would come through. One commenter admitted, “Ok that ended up being a win, I was not hopeful,” followed by a laughing-wincing face emoji, as if saying this playful moment could have been quite awkward for a few seconds. Even then, it was mostly all praise for their goofing around.
The View’s Lara Spencer also logged in: “I got moves like that. See you in the hallway for the next one,” followed by a dancing emoji, suggesting there would be plenty more good times happening behind the scenes. In fact, this comment implies that such spirited exchanges really are nothing new in The View ranks.
Truthfully, some people couldn’t keep politics out of the conversation, with one saying, “I can’t stand these 2 Trump supporters!” That comment kicked off a mini-debate in the replies on the supposition regarding these hosts supposedly celebrating the ex-president, with others defending the hosts. One replied, “They always talk about not being able to stand him!” The political back-and-forth thus demonstrated how quickly these lighthearted posts can sometimes escalate into more serious discussions about The View’s hosts.
Heartwarming was the comment saying, “Love the bond between you two! For many more years of happiness! Alyssa, I pray over you for that beautiful baby. Don’t give up! Just relax and declare it.” This was just the sort of soul-warming comment referencing Farah Griffin’s journey to motherhood that turned the post from overwhelming silliness into something a little sweeter.
Another eagle-eyed fan said with great curiosity, “Wait, are those The View slippers?” to which Farah Griffin confirmed, “oh yeah! We’ve got merch!” This brief glimpse allowed the fans to see some unofficial behind-the-scenes swag while showing how quick their hosts are with engaging their audience.

From the very beginning, anything ranging from pure love to political gnashing of teeth to spotting fashion wear follows from this. That is representative of everything and more that make Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin such interesting characters-they are able to speak with serious political urgency as well as silly chatter, expressing two totally disparate voices in relation to the viewers. Though sheltering a tiny moment, said Instagram moment was warmly appreciated by fans that yearned to see more of the heartfelt off-screen camaraderie between the ladies. That crisp raw vibe on-the-record or barely-holding-it-together-just-off-stage keeps resonating with the crowd-a loud voice whose crowd is probably screaming for a few more risqué moments to shine in.
