“The View” has been going through what we’ll call growing pains for quite some time now, but according to former host Jenny McCarthy, the show will be cancelled within a year—unless ABC changes their approach.
The 42-year-old, who was let go from the show after just one season, compared the network and its inability to stick with one formula for the show to serial daters on Tinder.
“It’s like a serial dater. Stick with one boyfriend and don’t go on Tinder. Give that relationship all you’ve got and ride through the bumps and waves,” McCarthy told the New York Daily News.
As you’ve probably noticed, in just a few short years, the show has undergone some pretty drastic changes—including several hosts.
“I only say that (will happen) if they don’t stick to that idea — which is to allow something to simmer rather than transitioning so many different things, like, change a chair, change a table, change the background, change the people.”
She went on to imply that producers are impatient and that they do away with strategies and personalities before they’re given a chance to flourish.
“If it doesn’t boil quick, you’re out,” she explained. “I feel like they’re not allowing anything to grow. They want instant gratification. So they’re very scattered, and until they kind of commit to an idea, I think they’re going to have problems.”
When asked if she thinks the show will ultimately go under without executive producer and former co-host Barbara Walters, McCarthy had this to say:
“I think to some extent, yes, but I think the longer they give it time, a new generation (of viewers) become first-time mommies and they get used to having those faces and growing up with them through those first baby years. That, too, will take time. But for right now, it’s still left missing the captain.”
