Cancellation Axe Rumors Swirl Around 'The View.' What's Really Going On Behind The Scenes

2023-08-26 3

"The View" has been going strong on ABC for 26 seasons, with its mix of co-hosts debating hot topics that range from the frivolous — like pool sex and why it sucks — to serious subjects like race and the Holocaust. But have on-screen tensions risen to the point that the alphabet network is considering canceling its daytime mainstay? That’s allegedly the case, according to the National Enquirer, but another source says not so fast. What really is going on behind the scenes of "The View?"

Reports that "The View" might be in danger of getting the axe come just weeks after the death of Bill Geddie, who created the show with Barbara Walters in 1997 and served as its executive producer for 17 years. According to a source for the National Enquirer (per RadarOnline), the quality of the show has gone down since Geddie left, with viewers allegedly being turned off by the increased fighting amongst its co-hosts.
