New York, NY – In a television moment blending family advocacy with daytime TV diplomacy, Savannah Chrisley is set to guest host The View this week—a noteworthy booking given the ABC talk show’s past criticism of her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, after they were pardoned by former President Donald Trump.
The reality TV star and podcast host, 27, confirmed the appearance on social media, writing she was “honored” to join the table. Her visit comes as she continues publicly advocating for her parents amid their legal and financial challenges.
A History of Tension
The View co-hosts have previously been vocal in their criticism of the Chrisleys’ pardon. In January 2021, after Trump commuted Julie’s sentence and pardoned Todd during his final hours in office, the panel questioned the fairness of the decision, citing the couple’s conviction on bank fraud and tax evasion charges.
At the time, co-host Whoopi Goldberg remarked, “There are a lot of people who probably deserved a second look who didn’t get it,” while others on the panel echoed concerns about preferential treatment for celebrities.
Savannah’s Role as Family Advocate
Since her parents’ legal troubles began, Savannah has become the de facto spokesperson for the Chrisley family. She’s used her platform on the family’s reality series Chrisley Knows Best, her podcast Unlocked, and social media to assert her parents’ innocence and criticize the justice system.
Her appearance on The View offers a unique opportunity to address the panel—and a national audience—directly, though it’s unclear whether the topic of the pardon will arise during her co-hosting segment.
Why This Booking Stands Out
Guest hosts on The View often bring personal or political narratives that spark conversation, but Savannah’s presence is particularly layered. It puts her in the same room with hosts who have publicly questioned the legitimacy of her family’s pardon—an unusual dynamic for the typically conflict-averse guest hosting lineup.
A source close to the show shared that producers welcome “respectful dialogue from all perspectives,” suggesting the segment may lean into Savannah’s personal story rather than reheated debate over the pardon itself.
What to Expect
Savannah is expected to contribute to discussions on topics ranging from family and wellness to current events. Whether the pardon or her parents’ case comes up will likely depend on the day’s headlines and the flow of conversation.
Regardless, her appearance marks a moment of convergence between reality TV, political commentary, and personal advocacy—all unfolding on one of daytime TV’s most influential stages.
