MAGA Celebrates Suspected ‘The View’ Cancelation

Did ABC finally decide to cancel The View? That’s what many viewers are wondering after cohost Joy Behar made a very suspicious remark about “one more show” that had naysayers having a premature cancelation celebration, Knewz.com can reveal. The daytime talkfest has been rumored to be on the chopping block due to declining ratings amid the cohosts’ rabid anti-MAGA rants and continuous complaining about President Donald Trump on a daily basis.

“Before we go on hiatus, we only have one more show after this,” Behar, 82, said at the end of the program on Thursday, July 24. She turned to producers behind the camera and asked, “I’m allowed to say that, right?” making sure she hadn’t let out a secret. Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin immediately quipped, “too late now,” and a man’s voice could be heard off camera saying, “It doesn’t really matter,” about her verbal slip-up. The View usually takes a late-summer hiatus before returning each September. While that’s what Behar was likely alluding to, social media went wild over the prospect of the left-wing chat fest being done for good. Whoopi Goldberg later clarified, “OK … so this is what’s going on. We will see you all for another new show, and we’ll be back for our new season in September.” Disney boss Bob Iger previously told the ladies of The View in May that they needed to “tone down their political rhetoric” and endless Trump bashing while leaning into celebrity coverage more often.

“Is The View FINALLY being cancelled??! PLEASE tell me this is true!” one person wrote on X, while a second snarked, “The CDC better issue a warning, millions might regain brain cells if this show actually goes off air.” A third user remarked, “Joy Behar just let slip that The View is going on ‘hiatus’ and only has one show left. Let’s hope hiatus is code for finally being put out of its misery,” while a fourth cheered, “MAKE IT PERMANENT! First Stephen Colbert, now cancel The View.” One week prior, fellow Trump-bashing late-night host Stephen Colbert announced that CBS was pulling the plug on The Late Show for good, with the series coming to an end in May 2026. While the network cited financial reasons for the decision, conspiracy theories abounded after Colbert lit into his parent company earlier in the week for giving a “big fat bribe” to Trump in the form of a $16 million lawsuit settlement pending a merger requiring federal approval.

Ahead of signing off before their hiatus, Behar got in one last dig at Trump, telling viewers, “Before we go, I wanted to tell people the tide is turning. The tide is turning, and things are changing.” Continued the comedian, referencing the Rupert Murdoch-owned The Wall Street Journal publishing several articles about Trump’s involvement with the late convicted predator Jeffrey Epstein, “I mean the ultimate irony would be that Rupert Murdoch will take him down. Fox News, who created the monster, will take him down.” Trump sued the paper over a piece that claimed he wrote a bawdy letter that was included in a leather-bound book given to Epstein as a 50th birthday keepsake in 2003. Trump called the report “fake.”

The day before announcing the show’s summer hiatus, Behar lit into Trump in a way that elicited a scathing attack from the the White House. She and the rest of her cohosts discussed Trump’s claim that former President Barack Obama is guilty of treason. The Trump administration alleged that Obama and his national security team worked to craft the “Russiagate” scandal following the Republican leader’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. “The thing about him is he is so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not. Trim. Smart. Handsome. Happily married. And can sing Al Green’s song ‘Let’s Stay Together’ better than Al Green,” Behar sneered while comparing Trump to his predecessor. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers fired back, “Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s no surprise that The View’s ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump’s historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air.”
