Jenny McCarthy vows to never return to 'The View': 'Over my dead body'

Jenny McCarthy is unlikely to make a return to “The View.”

During this week’s episode of “The Katie Miller” podcast, the 53-year-old “Masked Singer” host reflected on her brief tenure as a co-host on the talk show back in 2013 and 2014.

When questioned about potentially rejoining the panel “considering their current political stance,” she explained, “They initially brought me on because it was deemed too polarizing. They felt it was too divisive even back then!”

McCarthy shared that her original job was to provide light-hearted takes on shows like “Dancing with the Stars” and “The Bachelor,” but that assignment was short-lived, lasting just a week.

“At the time, I didn’t see myself as politically inclined, which is why I believed I fit the role perfectly. But after a week, when politics became the focus, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to do?’” she admitted.

She had previously claimed producers of the show told her to “act Republican,” though she does lean towards more conservative views.

The former Playboy model pointed out in her conversation with host Katie Miller that she is “much more political” now because “our latest administration has helped so much.” 

“But, back then? Ooh, I would not, I would never even,” she said. “They’ve asked me to come back for, like, reunion shows. I was like, over my dead body would I ever step foot in that place.”

McCarthy was part of the permanent hosts of “The View” during Season 17, which also included Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherry Shepherd.

The “Dirty Love” actress recalled leaving the show in a conversation with Andy Cohen in July 2025.

“They let all of us go,” she recalled on SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy,” adding that she was begging to be fired.

“What wound up happening was they came into the offices and Sherri came crying into my dressing room saying, ‘I was just let go.’”

McCarthy remembered thinking she didn’t “even want to f–king be here” and wondered why it was Shepherd over her. However, as the day continued, several producers were also let go.

“Then I get the phone call. I was like last to get the phone call from my agent. He’s like, ‘You’re next.’ I’m like, ‘Thank God.’ It was a massacre,” McCarthy said. “They got rid of a bunch of people.”
