Jenny McCarthy Slams 'The View' and Says Return Would Happen ‘Over My Dead Body’

Former The View co-host Jenny McCarthy is making it clear she’s done with daytime talk show politics and she's not looking back. In a recent interview, the 53-year-old actress and TV personality torched her experience on the liberal talk show, making one thing abundantly clear:

“Over my dead body would I ever step foot in that place again.”

McCarthy, who co-hosted the show during its 17th season from 2013 to 2014, recalled how The View’s producers originally wanted her to bring some “light and fluffy” energy to the table but that didn’t last long.

“That lasted a week,” McCarthy said on The Katie Miller Podcast. “And back then, I didn’t consider myself to be a political person, which is why I thought I was perfect for the job. After a week, when they said they wanted to get political, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to do?’”

According to McCarthy, the show’s producers quickly shifted gears, throwing her into weighty geopolitical debates and moral dilemmas she never signed up for.

“They’re like, ‘Today we’re going to be discussing the hostage situation and whether the U.S. should pay the ransom.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ I just know who won Dancing with the Stars.”

Though she claims she wasn’t political at the time, McCarthy says that’s changed, thanks in large part to “our latest administration,” a clear nod to President Trump.

And she didn’t stop there.

• McCarthy took aim at Hollywood’s progressive echo chamber, slamming industry elites for being totally disconnected from “real America.”

• She praised Bill Maher for being one of the few entertainers willing to “pop the woke bubble.”

• She reaffirmed her support for the MAHA movement (Make America Healthy Again), and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sharing her ongoing skepticism of the pharmaceutical industry and COVID-era mandates.

“There are more conservatives than you would know hiding out in Hollywood,” McCarthy said in a December interview. “They’re just afraid to say anything.”

In a town where going off-script can end a career, McCarthy's blunt honesty is a breath of fresh air and a bold indictment of The View, which has morphed into a full-blown platform for leftist propaganda, alienating millions of Americans in the process.

Her refusal to return even for a reunion episode is another sign that Hollywood’s one-sided narrative is starting to crack, as more high-profile figures push back against the industry’s aggressive groupthink.

McCarthy may have once been the token “fun” co-host, but she’s now one of the few voices in entertainment willing to call out the media elite and she’s not apologizing for it.
