Comedian Rob Schneider announced Monday on Fox News that he’s launching a women’s talk show to compete against “The View.” (Watch the video below.)
Episodes will begin filming in January in Los Angeles, and he and his No Apologies Media company are asking for title suggestions on X, formerly Twitter.
Hyping his production to Fox’s Trace Gallagher, Schneider pledged, “It’s not gonna be drowning people in politics, it’s not going to be shaming people and making people wince.”
Schneider has done all of that in recent years and posts frequently on matters of right-wing interest. He has ranted against the COVID-19 vaccine, earning the internet’s scorn recently by suggesting NBA great Dikembe Mutombo’s brain cancer death was tied to inoculations. He’s droned on about perceived wokeness and alienated his daughter with what she called “toxic” behavior.
Yet the “You Can Do It!” author said he’s going to give non-politics a go, framing his creation as the opposite of “The View.”
“It will be the opposite because this will be entertaining,” he sniped. “It’ll be funny. We’re going to have funny women on it that are gonna tell jokes and have funny stories — and health and wellness.”
“We’re gonna compete with [‘The View’],” he emphasized.
Schneider, previously of “Deuce Bigalow” and “Saturday Night Live” fame, said the ABC’s established talk giant was “as interesting as a Hunter Biden painting made of his own feces.”
“People are sick of it,” he said. “People don’t want to have the politics. We’re going to have an entertaining show with people for entertaining people all over America. We’re not trying to just bring people who are angry and bitter and reinforcing their political echo chamber.”
