Sara Haines ‘cried every day' over ‘GMA3' with Michael Strahan, Keke Palmer: ‘Couldn't wait to leave'
Sara Haines is looking back on a 'failed' experience in her career. The TV host, 47, recently appeared on Danielle Robay's 'Question Everything' podcast and opened up about hosting 'GMA3' with Michael Strahan and Keke Palmer from 2019 until the program was canceled in 2020. Haines recalled that she was treated differently on the show when she returned to work after her son Caleb's birth. Advertisement 8 Sara Haines on ABC's 'GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke' in October 2019. ABC 'I do not at all feel any bad feelings towards the many women, but it was mostly a female staff, and they were young and they weren't at that point in their lives yet,' she explained. 'So I don't think they understand how that was received as they pitched it that way. I could still jump out of planes. Now they were like, 'Oh we can't have a mom.' Well guess what, moms do a lot of stuff.' 'I hadn't changed. Everyone else projected a change,' Haines continued, adding that she 'cried every day' on the show.

ABC 'Funny enough, there were a lot of great moments,' she explained. 'The staff was amazing. I loved Keke and Michael, talk about laughing until you hurt. It wasn't anyone's fault, that's the problem. As it played out, it felt like I was being dragged behind a car. For the first time, I couldn't wait to leave.' Haines added: 'I was one of those moms who felt better going to work. Now work was not a safe haven. Even though I felt like I clutzed around as a mom, I would rather do that with all my heart than what was happening at work. I just couldn't do it. That was a really low point.'

The program, initially titled 'GMA Day,' was renamed 'Strahan & Sara' and then 'Strahan, Sara and Keke' with Palmer's inclusion in 2019. 'Strahan, Sara and Keke' was canceled in March 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Haines was rehired by 'The View' later that year. 8 Sara Haines, Michael Strahan and Keke Palmer on 'The View' in Sept. 2019.

'You can't put a 'Kelly and Michael' show at that hour,' she explained. 'They needed to keep it branded [to 'GMA'] to make it that. If it was going to be a standalone, it couldn't be a replication. I wasn't the only one thinking it was like a 'Michael and Kelly.' I'm sure Michael was thinking that.' 8 Michael Strahan, Sara Haines attend CC Sabathia Celebrity Softball Game at Yankee Stadium in May 2019.

Last year, Haines admitted that she was 'depressed' and 'wrecked' when 'Strahan, Sara and Keke' got canceled. 8 Michael Strahan, Keke Palmer and Sara Haines with Jimmy Fallon on 'GMA3.'

'It was the dream I'd always had. Out of the gates, it almost never was that but I was so determined not to fail and not to let go, that I was being dragged behind a car, metaphorically.' Haines currently co-hosts 'The View' alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin. 'GMA3,' meanwhile, is now titled 'GMA3: What You Need to Know' and is anchored by DeMarco Morgan and Eva Pilgrim.

How a saga about banned erotic film has become an unlikely comedy hit
When Alexei Toliopoulos chanced upon a decades-old repeat episode of The Movie Show on an idle weekday, he had little inkling it would lead to one of the most talked-about comedy shows of this year's festival season. Not only did the 2003 episode see Margaret Pomeranz wax lyrical about 2 Fast, 2 Furious, it also saw her and co-host David Stratton urge viewers to take action over the classification board's decision to ban the Larry Clark-directed Ken Park. Pomeranz would later try to stage an illegal screening of the movie at Balmain Town Hall before police intervened. Now, Toliopoulos – best known for his comic investigative podcasts and TV appearances on the likes of Question Everything – has teamed up with Aunty Donna member Zach Ruane to explore the headline-making saga. Blending energetic comedy, audiovisual elements and verbatim theatre, Refused Classification is compelling – hard to describe, but easy to enjoy. 'It's an iconic story in Australian film history,' Toliopoulos explains. 'Going back to it, I couldn't believe how vivid it was, and how much it had stuck with me.' While a lesser show may have become didactic about the value of the film or the dangers of censorship, Ruane says the pair wanted to leave space for the audience to draw their own conclusions. 'I love the notion that if you can convey anything in a very simple, clear way, there's no reason to make it as art. Art lives in the ambiguity.' Toliopoulos dons a silver wig and a chunky necklace to channel his hero, Margaret Pomeranz, while Ruane – better known for his wild-eyed, manic sketch comedy – plays the buttoned-up Stratton.

If there's an egg shortage, how come there's no chicken shortage? A farmer explains why.
We are paying record-high prices for eggs. Sometimes you can't find them, or they are limited to one dozen per customer. At the same time, at the same store, you can get chicken breasts or thighs no problem. No supply issues at all. What gives? Well, that's exactly what so many of you asked us. Denise K. was one of several people who sent an email to our Question Everything inbox. She asked, "Here's a real head scratcher, why are eggs so hard to find but there's plenty of chicken to buy?" Unlike "why did the chicken cross the road?" we figured this would be easy enough to answer. So, WBZ's David Wade visited Nallie Pastures Farm in Dracut. Stephen Hall is the owner. He became a farmer a decade ago after quitting a boring job in business. "I started 10 years ago with seven chickens," said Hall. Now Hall has two pieces of land, 300 hens and 400 more on the way. He's been a busy man selling eggs and meat at his farm and at local farmers' markets. Why are eggs hard to find? Wade asked Hall, "why are eggs hard to find but there's plenty of chicken to buy?" "The answer to that is it takes a chicken 20 weeks to get a chicken to egg laying age," Hall said. He explained that when a farm must destroy egg laying chickens because of the spread of bird flu, it takes at least five months to get new hens to that egg laying age again. "Just the main problem is that it's going to take so long to get that replacement flock," Hall said. It's a formula for trouble. Fewer egg laying chickens means fewer eggs in the grocery store. Less supply with more demand means higher prices. But not for the meat of the chicken. Why? Well, first off, they're two different kinds of chickens. Two types of chickens Chicken breasts, wings and thighs fill the refrigerators and freezers at Hall's farm. It all comes from a "meat" chicken. It's also known as a "broiler", and it's bred different than a hen. "A meat chicken is much wider, grows quicker," Hall said. A broiler is bred for rapid growth. It goes quickly from a little chick to processing in less than two months. They're very quickly replaced. Because of the short lifespan, there is also less time to be infected with bird flu. So, supply hasn't been an issue. Egg laying chickens, or hens, are far more susceptible to bird flu. According to the USDA, of the 160 million birds that have been killed during the outbreak, 77% of them are egg laying hens. The hens simply live longer, so they have more exposure.
