Overview
- Tuesday’s broadcast showed empty audience risers in the Manhattan studio as the cohosts, including guest panelist Amanda Carpenter, took their seats.
- Whoopi Goldberg hosted from the studio after joining Monday’s show remotely when the storm kept her from entering the building.
- Entertainment Weekly reported that the on-air reveal of Goldberg’s empty chair Monday was a deliberate stylistic choice before the chair was removed in later segments.
- A few crew members were heard applauding on Tuesday in place of a live audience as Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, and Sunny Hostin walked out.
- This marked the second audience-free episode in about a month, following a Jan. 26 telecast during an earlier snow emergency in New York City.
