On the Behind the Table podcast's Tuesday episode, Hostin, 'The View's' seasoned panelist and legal expert, disclosed that her spouse, Emmanuel "Manny" Hostin, expressed some displeasure while watching the hip hop icon approach Hostin on stage during a special performance on her Oct. 20 birthday episode.

"I don't know if you remember, during my birthday show when we had the 50 years of hip-hop, Doug E. Fresh came up to me and, in my husband's view, danced a little too close to me," Hostin, 55, revealed.
She shared the revelation with 'View' producer Brian Teta on the podcast responding to a playful fan question about her affinity for actor Idris Elba.
"I only looked into the audience and took one look at his face ... and scooted over so quickly," she remembered. "I didn't even think I had it in me to move that quickly. We got into the car, and he said, 'What the bleep was that?' "

Teta exclaimed, "Wow, Doug E. got fresh," to which Hostin replied, "Doug E. got too fresh for Manny, and he doesn't like it. You could say he is worse than I am. We don't like that stuff."

On Hostin's 55th birthday telecast, she told the audience that she "wanted to help celebrate 50 years of hip-hop with artists who are so iconic that it takes three to perform" The View's musical tribute to the genre. Hostin then welcomed Fresh, Rob Base, The Sugarhill Gang, and DJ Chill Will to the set, while she and her cohosts; Ana Navarro, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sara Haines, and Joy Behar, danced in the audience.
Just before the episode concluded, Hostin joined the performers on stage. Doug E. Fresh, best known for pioneering 20th-century beatboxing, broke from behind the group as the credits rolled and danced near Hostin for a brief moment before the show cut out.
