Today, she wasn't there in the beginning and Joy said she missed seeing her (another Republican). Then, later on in the show, Nicolle, Joy and Rosie were talking to Antonio Banderas. Joy and Rosie were wearing the same clothes, so it was done on the same day. Very, very confusing. No mention of Nicolle was ever made. The segment appeared right after a commercial. 
I saw Nicolle on Dave Letterman about a week ago. When he introduced her, he made mention of the fact that she is a host on The View. When she sat down, The View was never, ever mentioned again and all they talked about was politics. She is very, very smart and ready with her answers. This is her forte. I really enjoyed listening to her. She was G.W. Bush's "communication" something or other. She had a really important job.
On The View, she is always sukking up to Whoopi. When Whoopi's chair broke, Nic rushed up to fix it. When Whoopi had lipstick on her face, Nic was there with the tissue to wipe it off. When Whoopi was in the hospital, Nic was the one to visit her for 3 hours and took a video to show on the show. Maybe it's just me - but hey, who knows??????
Right before the segment with Banderas, Rosie announced that they had taped that earlier, but Joy and Rosie did have the same clothes so it was probably done before the whole show today was recorded. Perhaps Nicolle got sick and went home before that recording. I agree, though, that it did make it a little confusing.
I did not see Nicolle's appearance on Letterman but it doesn't surprise me that he didn't bring up The View again (it is on ABC and not his CBS) because he loves to talk politics and more serious topics.
