Since its debut in 1997, The View has been known for pushing boundaries with its panel of outspoken co-hosts, who have never shied away from expressing their often clashing political views. The show’s format—bringing together a diverse group of women to discuss hot-button issues—was groundbreaking at first, but it has also been the source of endless controversy over the years.
For more than two decades, The View has seen its share of arguments, heated exchanges, and viral moments. From Whoopi Goldberg’s legendary eye rolls to Joy Behar’s on-air tirades, there has never been a shortage of drama at the table. But as the show’s tone became more combative, its place in daytime TV became increasingly polarizing.
And it seems that ABC has finally had enough.
“We wanted spirited debate,” the CEO explained. “What we didn’t sign up for was a daily battleground where everyone leaves angrier than they came in. It’s like watching a Thanksgiving dinner argument that never ends—and frankly, the turkey’s overcooked.”
Many are asking why, after more than 25 seasons, ABC has chosen now to cancel one of its most iconic shows. According to insiders, the decision wasn’t made overnight, but rather was the result of years of escalating tension behind the scenes and in the public eye.
The final straw, according to sources, was the growing number of walk-offs and on-air meltdowns that seemed to overshadow any substantive discussions. “We reached a point where the show’s biggest moments weren’t about the issues—they were about which co-host stormed off the set that day,” said one executive close to the situation.
One of the most infamous moments came earlier this year when Meghan McCain, former co-host and resident conservative voice, dramatically left the show after a heated argument with her liberal co-hosts. “We wanted real conversations, not WWE Smackdown,” the executive added. “It’s hard to sell that as ‘daytime entertainment.’”
