The View's Sunny Hostin received backlash after Finding Your Roots surprising revelations

with over five years of experience covering the latest in entertainment.

When Hostin, whose father’s family is of African descent, confirmed the news, Behar appeared confused as she simply remarked, “What?”“It’s too much, people. That’s a lot,” Hostin agreed. “I still believe in reparations. I still believe this country has a lot to do in terms of racial justice.” Hostin also acknowledged that she feels “enriched” by knowing her family’s full history now, adding, “I’m enriched by knowing that my family has come so far from being enslavers to my mother marrying my father in 1968.”

The program also led her to discover that her grandfather “was not my grandfather” and that she now has “five uncles and aunts that I didn’t know about” — plus one pretty famous cousin, too. “He is my cousin and I reached out to him and it’s kinda cool because he was the youngest actor in the original Broadway play ofand he’s multi-talented,” she said as a photo of him was shown onscreen. “I’ve interviewed him before, but I didn’t know we were cousins! I interviewed him for the Puerto Rican Day Parade.
