The co-hosts of ABC’s The View have raised concerns about mentalist Oz Pearlman performing at the upcoming White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD), citing his past on-air stunt that exposed host Sara Haines’ ATM PIN.

During a Hot Topics segment, Haines and co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin discussed their apprehensions about Pearlman’s presence at the event, which President Trump is set to attend for the first time as president.

Haines made it clear that Pearlman’s involvement was more concerning to her than Trump’s attendance. Griffin echoed her sentiment, joking about the mentalist’s potential to reveal classified information.

“Is he going to shout the nuclear codes?” Farah Griffin worried. “Like, how can we trust this man?”

Haines responded with a warning to attendees:

“I’m going to warn everyone at that dinner, tell him nothing,” Haines said in a whisper. “Tell him nothing!”

Griffin added humorously:

“Don’t leave your phone near him either!”

The hosts’ concerns stem from a November 2025 appearance by Pearlman on The View, where he demonstrated his mentalist abilities. During the segment, he asked Haines to create a fake PIN number, which coincidentally matched the birthday of co-host Ana Navarro’s friend. Pearlman later revealed that he had intentionally asked for a fake code to avoid exposing Haines’ real one—only to accidentally disclose her actual ATM PIN later in the segment.

This stunt marked one of the rare occasions when Haines was censored for swearing on-air.
