SUNNY Hostin has revealed she was refused to take the day off work after her boozy 54th birthday party.
The View host seemed hungover as she explained that she tried not to come in for Friday’s broadcast.

Sunny’s cohost Joy Behar told viewers it was her birthday on Thursday and asked if the presenter “had fun” at her party.
Giving a strained smile, Sunny said: “Sometimes one can have too much fun at their party.”
Joy probed: “Did you have too much fun?”
Sounding weary, Sunny replied: “I think I did.”
She then narrowed her eyes and looked at a producer offstage, snapping: ” I tried not to come in today but I didn’t get the day off from Brian.”
Joy then said: “Don’t you have to call in sick?”
Sunny looked pained and said regretfully: “That’s a better… I never do that though”
The TV personality added: “But yes, thank you to all my friends for showing up and surprising me at the house with servers and sushi and bartenders and all sorts of things.”

On Thursday, Sunny’s cohosts celebrated her big day by surprising her with a performance from R&B legends, The Isley Brothers.
Sunny, who had dressed up in a glam silver dress, got up on stage and danced along with the band as they sang.
SUNNY’S BIG DAY
The group was then joined by WABC news anchors Joe Torres and David Navarro and Whoopi Goldberg gave her an NSFW birthday gift which she suggested could be psychedelic.
She presented Sunny with a rainbow-colored gift bag and said, “This was made homemade for you,” before giving her a knowing look.
David Navarro chimed in, “It’s for the holidays,” before Whoopi commented, “It’ll make you happy.”
Sunny made a drinking motion with her hand as the 66-year-old host again interjected, “You can’t have it now,” seemingly inferring that it could be an edible.
While the group seemed to get along during the broadcast, Sunny experienced several awkward moments earlier that week.
ON-AIR CLASH
During a heated discussion with the panelists, she interrupted the conversation as Whoopi and Alyssa Farah Griffin butted heads over their political views.
In the midst of the battle, Sunny’s cell phone began to ring, directing Whoopi’s attention to the device sitting on the table.
“Hello, hello, hello,” the 66-year-old moderator commented, looking at Sunny.
“See who it is,” Sunny pointed her screen at Whoopi, seated at the other end of the panel.
“Who is it? You know I can’t read -” the actress remarked, noting the phone’s distance.
“Gabriel Hostin,” the 54-year-old replied, reading her son‘s name on the screen.
The ladies didn’t seem to pay mind to Sunny’s phone call and returned to their debate.
Sunny looked embarrassed by her outburst as she quietly silenced her phone and turned it upside down in front of her.
