Rob Schneider Aims to Launch a Conservative Alternative to ‘The View’
Comedian Rob Schneider announced plans to launch his own women’s talk show as an alternative to ABC’s long-running “The View.” Scheduled to begin filming in the new year in Los Angeles, the unnamed program is set to air under Schneider’s newly formed media company, No Apologies Media.
Entertainment Over Politics
“It will be the opposite [of ‘The View’] because this will be entertaining,” Schneider stated during a Fox News interview. “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.” He went on to emphasize that his show will take a different approach than the often politically charged discussions on “The View.”
“It’s not gonna be drowning people in politics. It’s not going to be shaming people and making people wince,” he said.
Schneider has consistently voiced conservative viewpoints and has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump.
He has publicly opposed COVID-19 vaccination and joined fellow conservative figures like Candace Cameron Bure in criticizing the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
Competing with ‘The View’ :
Schneider made his intentions clear, stating during the Fox News interview, “We’re gonna compete with [‘The View’].”
He believes there is a significant audience seeking alternative talk-show options. “People are sick of it,” Schneider asserted. “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.”
