What Time Is Joe And Jill Biden’s Interview On ‘The View’? How To Watch

Former President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden will appear on The View this week in their first interview since Joe Biden left office.

Joe Biden, of course, ended his campaign as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee on July 21, 2024, and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the White House. However, Harris and her vice presidential running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, lost the 2024 presidential election to former President Donald Trump and his VP running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, in November of 2024.

Show panelist Whoopi Goldberg announced on The View on May 1 that former President and First Lady Biden would be appearing on the ABC-TV daytime talk show on Thursday, May 8.

The Bidens will be interviewed for the first time since Joe Biden left the White House by Goldberg and her fellow View panel members Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sarah Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro.

“We’ll ask about his legacy, accomplishments, regrets and of course, the current political landscape,” Goldberg noted in the announcement.

Thursday’s episode of The View will air at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. CT/PT on ABC-TV. Cable, broadband and satellite TV users can also stream The View live on ABC.com but will need to sign in by selecting their television provider to access the programming.

President Joe Biden Was The First Sitting President To Appear On ‘The View’

While The View is getting the exclusive first chance to interview former President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden since leaving the White House, it doesn’t mark the first time that the former Commander-in-Chief is appearing on the talk show.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Joe Biden became the first-ever U.S. president to appear live on the show. He joined The View in September of 2024 to discuss his exit from the presidential race and said he was “at peace” with the decision.

In total, THR noted, Joe Biden has been interviewed on The View 10 times, including “several times” when he was vice president and another time after he announced his presidential run in 2019.

THR reported that former President Barack Obama also previously appeared on The View in 2010, but the interview was pre-recorded.

Joe Biden and Jill Biden’s live interview on The View is set for Thursday at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. CT/PT on ABC-TV.
