Update, with video Not since Chuckles the Clown’s funeral has a giggling fit seemed harder to contain: Sara Haines couldn’t get through today’s The View discussion about Jeffrey Toobin’s recent Zoom blunder without a real tears-down-the-cheeks guffaw, even as her cohosts looked on with mostly straight faces.
Toobin, of course, is the New Yorker writer and CNN legal analyst who was suspended from the magazine and took a leave of absence from the network yesterday after he was caught on a New Yorker staff Zoom call (discussing the election) participating in, reportedly, some socially distanced virtual sex on a separate video-call. Toobin says he didn’t know his staff call camera was still on.
The Toobin incident has drawn the expected jokes around the internet, but a more serious approach to the matter was initiated by View moderator Whoopi Goldberg and cohost, lawyer and former Toobin colleague Sunny Hostin.
