Grease fire in ABC studio in NYC forces several daytime TV stars to evacuate

NEW YORK (WJET/WFXP) – Several daytime talk show hosts were forced to evacuate their New York City studio after a grease fire broke out Wednesday morning.

According to People, the daytime television show “The Tamron Hall Show” had a grease fire break out in their kitchen as they were preparing to go live at 10 a.m.

After the incident, the Tamron Hall YouTube channel posted an update video stating that everyone in the studio was safe and thanked firefighters for their quick response to the situation.

“We were in place, preparing for our live show today. The audience was in the holding area of the show, preparing to come out here and cheer and have a phenomenal show today. But as my friend Bevy Smith says, ‘Sometimes life be lifeing,’ and that happened to us today,” said Hall.

“The Tamron Hall Show” cast and crew weren’t the only ones who needed to evacuate, as “The View” tapes in the same ABC studio.

Shortly following the incident, “The View’s” X account posted a video stating that they had an “eventful morning.”

“This morning we had to evacuate the studio because there was a fire that we did not start,” said Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of “The View.” “We do not know who started it, we do not know what started it.”

Trying to make light of the situation, Goldberg joked that she and her co-hosts walked out of the studio to Billy Joel’s 1989 hit “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

No one was injured during this incident, and “The Tamron Hall Show” is set to resume on Thursday.
