Anyone wanting Jenny McCarthy to return to The View is in for a big disappointment. The model and actress has put to bed any rumors that she may come back to the talk show, which she co-hosted over a decade ago.
Seeing her on that show again will be a hard no for Jenny. She says that the program hired her in 2013 because The View was too polarizing at the time. She claims they added her to the lineup to add more light, fluffy fun to balance out the intensity of the opinionated show.
Jenny would return to The View “over my dead body”
When it comes to The View, Jenny is over and out. That’s the message she’s sending about a potential return for her to the program in any capacity. She admits to US Weekly that the show has asked her to return for a reunion before. Her response was “over my dead body.”
She says that she took the job initially because she didn’t consider herself a political person, which, in her eyes, made her an ideal host. Jenny adds that after joining, they wanted her to get political, which she wasn’t comfortable doing. That said, Jenny believes she’s much more political these days, thanks in part to the Donald Trump administration.
Jenny served as co-host for just one season, replacing the departed Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Things got so bad for her at that time that she said in a May 2025 interview that she was begging to be fired.
These days, she seems to have bigger concerns than returning to television. Jenny revealed last November that she had growths on her eyeballs. This was reportedly the result of multiple medical procedures she’s had over the years.
