Jenny McCarthy shared insights about her experience co-hosting 'The View' from 2013 to 2014, claiming she was initially brought in to introduce pop culture to the show. However, she quickly noticed a shift back to political discussions, pointing out a concerning moment with Barbara Walters, who seemed unaware of Katy Perry, indicating early signs of dementia. McCarthy ultimately decided to leave because the show's producers preferred a confrontational style, which clashed with her personality that favors peace over conflict.
"I was hired to bring pop culture to 'The View'. They got rid of - at the time - Joy [Behar] and Elisabeth [Hasselbeck]. They wanted to do a whole flip of the show and lighten it up."
"It was the first sign that I realized that Barbara was suffering from beginning stages of dementia. ... [Barbara] knew politics but she didn't know pop culture."
"They wanted to immediately switch from light and fluffy to fight. I'm not a fighter. ... I choose the side of peace in any fight."
