"Over My Dead Body": Jenny McCarthy Slams 'The View' and Praises Donald Trump in 2026 Interview
Jenny McCarthy slams 'The View' as a difficult experience and praises Donald Trump in a scathing new interview. See why she says she'll never return to the ABC talk show.
"Over my dead body." That's how Jenny McCarthy responded when asked about a potential return to ABC's long-running talk show 'The View.' In a bombshell episode of the Katie Miller Podcast, the former co-host didn't hold back, labeling her time on the show as a struggle and openly praising Donald Trump for her newfound confidence in speaking out.
Jenny McCarthy The View Criticism: When Pop Culture Met Hostage Politics
McCarthy, who occupied a seat at the Hot Topics table for just one season from 2013 to 2014, revealed that she was hired under the guise of bringing "light, fluffy, and fun" commentary to the panel. However, that promise lasted only one week. The show quickly shifted its focus to high-stakes politics, leaving McCarthy—who then prioritized entertainment news—feeling out of her depth.
She recalled a specific instance where she was expected to debate U.S. government ransom policies while she only knew "who won Dancing With the Stars." McCarthy described the experience as "really difficult," noting that the show’s push for polarization made her question her ability to contribute meaningfully at the time.
A Political Shift and Praise for Donald Trump
Fast forward to 2026, and McCarthy is no longer shying away from political discourse. She credited the "latest administration"—referring to Donald Trump—with helping her find her voice. Beyond Trump, she claimed that Hollywood is "secretly very supportive" of RFK Jr.'s MAHA movement, suggesting a quiet ideological shift among her peers.
McCarthy joins a growing list of former hosts, including Meghan McCain and Rosie O'Donnell, who have blasted the show's toxic environment. While ABC has occasionally reached out for reunion appearances, McCarthy's stance remains firm: she will never step foot in that studio again.
