Sara Haines recalls hitting 'Rock Bottom' and struggling after daytime show cancellation

Sara Haines is reflecting on the dark times she experienced behind the scenes on, and off while shooting for a show. The daytime co-host, 46, appeared on the Behind the Table podcast on Monday and talked with executive producer Brian Teta about the ups and downs of her career in daytime television.
Haines mentioned that the two years she was not on The View and the cancellation of her show with Keke Palmer and Michael Strahan were low points for her.“I was in a dark place and when you’re depressed, you can’t distinguish reality from your created narratives,” she said.
Haines said that her time on Strahan, Sara and Keke was tumultuous because of what she was experiencing. When the pandemic hit and the show got canceled, Haines said she was feeling like “the dream I’d always had. Working with Michael Strahan and eventually Keke Palmer, I miss them all the time. The laughter, the joy, even the staff. But the show didn’t really have a chance out the gates. We fumbled, all of us, through the whole thing.”
She then said, "Meanwhile, I got through finding out I’m pregnant unexpectedly and really dropping into a depression, having major postpartum depression as I tried to race back and save a drowning ship, which was our show, six weeks after having a baby.”
