‘Over My Dead Body’: Jenny McCarthy Says She Will Never Return To ‘The View’

Jenny McCarthy gave a definitive answer to the question of whether she’d consider returning to her spot on “The View.”

The 53-year-old celebrity was a co-host of the show from 2013 to 2014 during season 17. She discussed that experience, as well as her current feelings about the show, on a Tuesday episode of  “The Katie Miller Podcast.”

“The reason why they wanted to bring me on [originally] is because they, quote, said it was too polarizing. They thought it was too polarizing back then, you guys,” McCarthy told the podcast host. She said her inclusion was meant to add “light and fluffy and fun” content to balance out more serious topics.

“Well, that lasted a week. That lasted a whole week,” McCarthy continued. “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?'”

“They’re like, ‘Today we’re going to be discussing the hostage situation and whether the United States government should pay the ransom or not. And I was like, ‘What?'” she said. “I’m like, ‘I just know who won Dancing with the Stars.’ So getting through that year was really difficult.”

The “Masked Singer” judge said that she is “much more political in terms of having opinions” now than she was back then, adding that “our latest administration has helped so much.” 

“But, back then? Ooh, I would not, I would never even,” McCarthy added. “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.”

The celeb also said Hollywood gets “everything wrong” about “real America,” pointing to Bill Maher as someone who isn’t afraid to pop the “woke bubble” that Hollywood elites exist inside.

McCarthy, a huge supporter of the MAHA movement, is extremely skeptical of vaccines and supports HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “There are more conservatives than you would know hiding out in Hollywood,” she said in December.
