SARA Haines has mocked The View’s producer about his job title while he shared his major career plans away from the show.
The View returned to usual programming this week after taking an extended break for the holidays.

What also resumed was the talk show’s daily podcast, The View: Behind the Table, hosted by executive producer Brian Teta.
Sara, 46, appeared on Thursday’s episode, where the host recapped her time off and other show moments from the week.
Toward the end of the recording, the conversation shifted to the duo discussing their competitive natures with their siblings.
After Sara noted that her sister “had to win everything,” Brian revealed he had the same attitude.
MAKING MOVES
However, he shared a major achievement that he believed put his sister above him in the family.
“I’m a little bit like that. And my sister has her doctorate, so she’s Dr. Ali, and that drives me a little nuts, and she knows that, so she won that one,” the producer said.
Sara then poked fun at her colleague and his status on the talk show.
“I could see you making her call you some formal title as an executive producer,” the TV star laughed.

In a mocking tone, she then said: “‘People in my business say Executive Producer Teta when we talk.'”
Brian brushed off Sara’s comment and revealed that he wanted to get an honorary doctorate to hang in his office.
‘CRINGE’ MOMENT
The pair are known for their banter on the podcast.
On the November 27 episode, Brian teased Sara over her interaction with legendary country star Dolly Parton, 77, during her previous appearance on the show.
Sara sang a rendition of Dolly and Kenny Rogers’ hit, Islands in the Stream, in front of Dolly herself a while back.
“When I was watching this…I immediately, when I saw Dolly, took me back to her last appearance on the show and this thing that happened on the commercial break where you serenaded Dolly Parton,” Brian said, referring to the episode.
He then played the clip of Sara breaking out into song while the 11-time Grammy Award winner listened via satellite.
“Alright, so this is what some…might call ‘cringe,’ but it was also really adorable…I was walking behind the stage, and I hear you singing, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God. What is she doing? Can Dolly hear her?'” Brian laughed about the moment.
“And then it quickly became, ‘Oh my God. Are we rolling on this because I need to make sure that America sees this?'”
Brian later joked that Sara didn’t have “vocal gifts” based on her impromptu performance.
Sara co-hosts The View alongside Whoopi Goldberg, 68, Joy Behar, 81, Ana Navarro, 51, Sunny Hostin, 55, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34.
