NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘The View’ star Sunny Hostin has revealed that her dream career move would be to become a judge on the American version of the British reality television series ‘Naked Attraction’ if it's ever made.

Hostin spoke in some detail about her desire to be a judge on ‘Naked Attraction’ after previously declaring her fascination with the reality show.  

She appeared on Thursday's instalment of ‘The View: Behind the Table podcast’ hosted by executive producer Brian Teta and said she was ready to pursue this career change.

Sunny Hostin wishes to be a judge on American version of ‘Naked Attraction

The HBO Max’s reality series ‘Naked Attraction’ seems to have found yet another fan in Hostin. 

‘Naked Attraction’ is a dating game show where participants find their match by stripping down to their birthday suits. It's advertised as a social experiment inspired by the idea that people choose their partners based on physical appearance.

Hostin sat down with Teta on the show’s podcast to discuss various topics that came up on ‘The View’ recently.

Teta recalled Hostin’s obsession with ‘Naked Attraction’ and asked whether she would ever want to be a judge on the show.

The TV personality clarified that there are no judges and that the show already has a host Anna Richardson.

However, Hostin said that she'd love to take part in the US version if they ever made one. “I feel like I could host that show, the American version. I'm gonna pitch that somewhere.”

‘Naked Attraction’ became a hot topic of discussion on ‘The View’

In one of the latest episodes of the morning show, the hosts of ‘The View’ - Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farrah Griffin, had a heated debate about the reality show.

During the discussion, the co-hosts steered off into an NSFW commentary with Hostin talking about “pretty penises” on the show.

While Goldberg wasn’t happy with the format of ‘Naked Attraction’, the other hosts were completely onboard and wanted more of the show.

Navarro called the show 'Naked and Well-Lit” while Griffin shared that she feels comfortable naked if she is in the right position, not just standing straight like they were on the show.

Goldberg was unamused at this attraction and looked at Teta present in the studio, exclaiming, “You were worried about me?”
