In a move that has sent shockwaves through both conservative and liberal circles, ABC has decided to replace The View—the long-running daytime talk show known for its passionate debates and noisy banter—with the far more subdued, yet heavily patriotic The Charlie Kirk Show. This change, revealed through a short and blunt three-word press release—”It’s done. Finally.”—has caused an uproar. Conservative Americans have celebrated the decision, while liberals have expressed frustration, with many wondering if this marks the end of an era for daytime TV.

The Fall of The View: A Long Time Coming

The View had been America’s go-to morning show for 27 years, featuring a rotating cast of outspoken women who often engaged in spirited (and sometimes heated) exchanges. From political debates to pop culture discussions, The View was anything but subtle. Its brand of loud, sometimes overbearing chatter was beloved by some, but despised by others.

The show’s demise came after an infamous incident—known as “Angel-gate”—in which Whoopi Goldberg made a controversial comment about the late Charlie Kirk. The remarks led to a public meltdown that turned The View into a political lightning rod. It wasn’t the comment itself that drew ire; it was Goldberg’s repeated sighs, which one ABC executive later described as louder than the microphones. The network, evidently fed up with the backlash, pulled the plug on The View.

“We thought about reruns of Judge Judy or even static snow,” said one ABC insider, describing the intense discussions that followed. “But we finally realized we needed something that would make Charlie proud and advertisers happy.”

Enter The Charlie Kirk Show: A New Patriotism-Fueled TV Era

Debuting this week, The Charlie Kirk Show aims to provide viewers with a far more controlled, conservative-driven program. Hosted by Erika Kirk and Megyn Kelly, the show promises “less squawking, more saluting,” a subtle jab at the loud and chaotic atmosphere that The View had become infamous for.

The premiere episode of the show opened with Erika Kirk standing beside a six-foot portrait of her late husband, Charlie Kirk, while Megyn Kelly walked onto the stage in a red power suit that could double as an emergency warning light.

“Charlie dreamed of a show where people could actually finish a sentence without Joy Behar interrupting,” Erika tearfully stated. “And today, that dream is real.”

Megyn Kelly, never one to shy away from bold statements, added, “Daytime TV has been too soft, too liberal, and frankly, too screechy. We’re here to restore order. Think of this as The View, but without the cackling—and with better lighting.”

The Format: Where God, Guns, and Gossip Collide

The show’s format is nothing short of patriotic. With segments like The Kirk Commandments, Megyn vs. America’s Enemies, and Red State Renovations, it’s clear that this isn’t your average daytime talk show. In The Kirk Commandments, Erika reads Charlie Kirk’s old tweets, treating them as if they were scripture. The audience responds with either “Amen” or “Build the Wall.”

“Imagine a cooking show, but instead of kale, we use Velveeta,” Erika says of her segment Freedom Kitchen, where she teaches viewers how to prepare casseroles “the way the Founding Fathers intended.”

Another fan-favorite segment is Patriot Karaoke, where country stars like Jason Aldean and Kid Rock perform freedom anthems while fireworks explode in the background in the shape of bald eagles.

The set design? Even more patriotism. Gone are the pastel-colored backgrounds of New York City. In its place is a rotating digital montage of Mount Rushmore, NASCAR races, and apple pies cooling on a windowsill. The hosts sit at a desk shaped like the U.S. Constitution, engraved with the Pledge of Allegiance, and each commercial break ends with a CGI bald eagle soaring across the screen.

“It’s all about patriotism,” says one designer involved with the show. “Even the teleprompter is mounted inside a hollowed-out AR-15.”

Reactions: From Cheers to Jeers

Conservative America erupted in celebration upon hearing the news. Donald Trump, ever vocal on social media, took to Truth Social to declare, “The View is FINISHED!!! Great news for America. Erika is WONDERFUL. Megyn is TOUGH. MUCH better than Whoopi & Joy—both terrible, worst ratings ever. Big WIN!!!”

Fox News also jumped on the bandwagon, airing extensive coverage of the change with the headline, “FROM HENS TO HEROES.”

Meanwhile, the left was not as thrilled. Elizabeth Warren tweeted, “Replacing The View with The Charlie Kirk Show is like replacing a library with a gun range. Both loud, neither helpful.”

Trevor Noah quipped, “So ABC just went from Whoopi Goldberg sighing at Meghan McCain to Megyn Kelly screaming at a cardboard cutout of Joe Biden. I’m not sure this is progress.”

Despite the backlash from liberal circles, the show’s conservative audience couldn’t have been happier. The live studio audience, now called The Kirk Crowd, starts each taping by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance while waving Chick-fil-A sandwiches in the air.

“I used to watch The View for the gossip,” one fan admitted. “But now? Megyn Kelly yelling about pronouns gets my blood pumping.”

Where Are the Old Hosts Now?

In response to ABC’s decision, former The View hosts have reportedly begun plotting their next moves. Rumors suggest that Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are working on a podcast titled The Screech Continues, where they’ll scream directly into microphones for an entire 45-minute episode.

Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin are also planning their comebacks. Hostin is rumored to be considering a lawsuit, claiming she still had at least three more years of interrupting Megyn Kelly left in her career.

Closing Thoughts: A Patriot’s Triumph?

As ABC bids farewell to the loud coffee-klatsch antics of The View, the network has boldly embraced a new era of conservative-driven content. With The Charlie Kirk Show, the landscape of daytime television has undeniably shifted, giving rise to a show that prioritizes patriotism, conservative values, and a sharp contrast to the squabbles of The View.

Will it succeed in the long term? Will America really tune in to watch Erika Kirk recite her husband’s old tweets while Megyn Kelly debates the politics of patriotism?

Perhaps. After all, if there’s one thing America loves, it’s a show with a side of flag-waving, casseroles, and a healthy dose of outrage.

As ABC’s official tagline for the reboot states: No more hens. Just patriotism. It’s done.
