“Over my dea* body!” 🔥 Jenny McCarthy says she will never return to The View — not even for a reunion. The former Season 17 co-host revealed she was originally brought in to keep things light and fun, but after just one week, she was pushed into intense political debates. The experience was so uncomfortable that McCarthy now insists she’d rather die than ever step foot on that set again.

Don’t expect Jenny McCarthy to return to The View anytime soon.

McCarthy, who served as a co-host in 2013 and 2014 during season 17, talked candidly about her experience on the daytime talk show during the Tuesday, Jan. 6 episode of The Katie Miller Podcast.

When asked if she thinks she’d be invited back as a co-host on the show, now in its 29th season, McCarthy reflected on her initial invitation.

“The reason why they wanted to bring me on is because they, quote, said it was too polarizing. They thought it was too polarizing back then, you guys,” she said.

According to McCarthy, the show initially intended to bring her on as a permanent panelist to provide “light, fluffy, and fun” commentary on topics such as Dancing with the Stars and The Bachelor.

“Well, that lasted a week. That lasted a whole week,” she said. “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?’ ” McCarthy recalled. “I’m like, ‘I just know who won Dancing with the Stars.’ So getting through that year was really difficult.”

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