‘The View’ will air backstage footage as trial run

“The View” will air one of its shows next week from an entirely different perspective that lets fans know a little about what goes on backstage.

Producers of the daytime talk show will attempt the experiment with the episode airing Memorial Day, which was taped Monday. It features an interview with Dina Lohan and daughter Ali and a performance by Ryan Cabrera.

On May 30, “The View” will rerun a version of the show with backstage footage that explains what went into making it.

Only about half of the original show will be seen. The rest will explore what went on behind the scenes to put it together, such as the meeting where the co-hosts discuss in advance what they’ll be talking about on the opening “Hot Topics” session.

If it works, the episode may prove to be a template for future programs, says Executive Producer Bill Geddie.

Just don’t expect a glimpse of Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck or Sherri Shepherd pre-makeup.

“There are some things that will not be seen,” says Geddie.
