\u201cI missed you guys!\u201d Griffin said after her co-hosts welcomed her back on the festively-decorated show during Thursday\u2019s episode, which marked the first of the holiday season to feature the show\u2019s festively-decorated set.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m feeling totally better but getting sick while you\u2019re pregnant is no joke,\u201d she added before encouraging her co-stars to wash their hands. Co-host Joy Behar<\/a> then poked fun at Griffin, a former aide to President Donald Trump<\/a>, by referring to Trump\u2019s controversial and unfounded claims <\/a>that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism in children.<\/p>\n \u201cNo Tylenol for you!\u201d Behar jokingly said to Griffin. The soon-to-be mom laughed and responded, \u201cWell, I can\u2019t have anything.\u201d<\/p>\n ‘The View’ co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin has returned to the show after missing three days due to a stomach virus (ABC\/The View)<\/p>\n ‘The View’ decorated for Christmas for Thursday’s episode of the popular ABC talk show (ABC\/The View)<\/p>\n Trump and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced in September that they had found a link between autism and using acetaminophen<\/a>, which is the active ingredient in widely used Tylenol. The president even advised pregnant mothers to \u201cfight like hell not to take it.\u201d<\/p>\n Doctors and medical experts immediately pushed back on the claim due to the fact that there is no scientific evidence<\/a> to back up the connection.<\/p>\n The View co-hosts, who are famously outspoken critics of Trump, brought their outrage over the unsubstantiated claims to RFK\u2019s wife Cheryl Hines<\/a> when she appeared on the show in October to promote her new book. Griffin, who had recently announced her pregnancy, asked Hines what she would say \u201cto women who now feel anxious and nervous because their doctor\u2019s telling them one thing but the top public health professional is telling them something very different.\u201d<\/p>\n Hines clearly hesitated and then responded that pregnant women should consult their doctors.<\/p>\n Justin Griffin and Alyssa Farah Griffin are expecting their first child together (Getty Images for Webby Awards)<\/p>\n During Thursday\u2019s show, the talk show panelists celebrated the fact that Griffin will be the first host in years to bring a baby on the show. The political commentator is set to give birth to baby boy in February. She announced her pregnancy during an episode of the longtime talk show in October.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so overjoyed, and I shared with all of you that I went through [in vitro fertilization.] It was hard, it took us about a year, it took us five rounds. But he\u2019s here, he\u2019s coming,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Griffin married her husband in November 2021<\/a>, nearly a year after she left her role as White House spokesperson and assistant to Trump. After announcing their pregnancy, the couple told People<\/a> that they turned to IVF after two years of trying to conceive naturally. She told the outlet that the IVF process was an \u201cemotional roller coaster.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy first round wasn’t bad but I got over-confident and started my second right away, and let me tell you, it’s unlike anything I’ve experienced. You do feel somewhat out of control with your own body,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n![\"'The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/547eb9313887aeeedefe2581d1f226bd.jpeg\"\/)
