‘The View’ hosts confirm on air they’re ‘alive’ after NY area earthquake

The women of “The View” were shaken but not stirred by the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that rattled New York City Friday morning.

Within the same hour that tremors reverberated throughout the tri-state area, the co-hosts of the chatfest walked out at the top of the show to Carole King‘s 1971 hit “I Feel the Earth Move.”

“It looks like we’re alive!” Joy Behar said as the studio audience erupted in applause. “Alive and live in New York, where we just had a 4.8 earthquake! Did you all feel it?”

Just as the live broadcast was getting underway, delayed emergency alerts went off on some of the co-hosts’ cellphones about the earthquake affecting the New York City area.

“I need some tequila now,” Ana Navarro quipped, before revealing her dog’s reaction to the unexpected natural hazard.

“My dog started barking and running down the hallway, like, ‘Mom, the earth is shaking, get your ass up and run with me,’” she said.

Meanwhile, Sunny Hostin shared that she “didn’t feel a thing” when the earthquake hit The Big Apple — recorded at 10:23 a.m. — while they were preparing for their live show.

“I was listening to Beyoncé and ‘Jolene,’ talking to my fabulous hair and makeup team,” the resident legal expert said, adding that her dressing room is “anointed, protected and covered.”
