Lauren Sanchez Promotes Children's Book on The View

Lauren Sánchez appeared on The View to promote her new children's book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, while reflecting on her past auditions for the show, which ended in rejection twice. Despite her initial nervousness, she shared a memorable piece of advice from Barbara Walters, who told her, 'If you’re going to go down, go down as yourself.' Joy Behar humorously reminded Sánchez of her rejections, stating, 'Look at you now, I don’t think you needed the job,' referencing her relationship with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Sánchez recalled that her failed auditions allowed her to appreciate her current life, mentioning that her son wouldn't have been born if she had gotten the job. She also expressed gratitude for Behar's encouragement during tough times on set. The conversation highlighted Sánchez's journey and resilience in the face of early career setbacks.
