Mario Cantone Makes Triumphant 150th Appearance on ‘The View’ — Still Serving Laughter, Sass, and Unmatched Chemistry

There are few guests who can light up the set of The View quite like Mario Cantone. And on his milestone 150th-plus appearance, the beloved comedian, actor, and Broadway powerhouse did exactly what he’s known for: electrify the audience, leave the co-hosts in stitches, and remind everyone why he remains one of the most cherished guest stars in the show’s history.

Cantone, best known for his roles in Sex and the City and on the stage, returned to the daytime roundtable Thursday morning, sliding effortlessly into the chaotic, opinionated, and hilariously unpredictable world of The View. From the moment he walked out to thunderous applause, fans knew they were in for a treat.

A Long-Running Favorite

“150 appearances!” Whoopi Goldberg exclaimed as she welcomed Cantone to the table. “You might as well have your own chair at this point.”

“Don’t tempt me,” Cantone quipped with his signature sass. “I’ll redecorate the whole set.”

The comedian’s ongoing rapport with the ladies of The View has become legendary. Over the years, he’s tackled everything from politics and pop culture to Broadway gossip and celebrity impressions — often stealing the show with his rapid-fire humor and spontaneous rants.

Joy Behar joked, “At this point, Mario knows our cue cards better than we do.”

Still Bringing the Heat

This latest visit didn’t disappoint. Cantone launched into a hysterical impersonation of Donald Trump as a Broadway diva, complete with jazz hands and dramatic flair, and gave a side-splitting review of a recent Real Housewives reunion that had Sunny Hostin gasping for air from laughter.

The conversation also turned heartfelt. Cantone opened up about what The View has meant to him over the years, saying, “This place is like home. I’ve cried here. I’ve laughed here. I’ve insulted all of you, lovingly.”

He added, “Where else can you scream about politics, dance like Liza Minnelli, and still get asked back the next week?”

Fans Celebrate the Milestone

On social media, The View faithful flooded timelines with appreciation for Cantone’s consistency, comedy, and candid spirit.

“Mario Cantone is The View’s secret weapon. Nobody brings that energy like him,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote, “Can we PLEASE give this man a permanent Friday seat?”

Even the show’s official account posted a tribute montage of Cantone’s best moments over the years, captioned: “150+ times. Infinite laughs. Mario, you’ll always be part of our View family.”

What’s Next for Mario?

During his appearance, Cantone teased some upcoming stage work and hinted at a possible return to TV in a new scripted comedy. But when asked if he’d ever consider becoming a full-time co-host, he responded, “I’d love it… but I’d burn this place down with my mouth in under two weeks.”

That’s exactly why audiences love him — because he’s unpredictable, unapologetic, and always unforgettable.

Whether it’s his first appearance or his 151st, Mario Cantone continues to be a force of nature on The View, proving once again that no one does it quite like him.
