Meghan McCain will not take a little time to enjoy The View anytime soon as she says she will not return to the daytime talk show.

McCain is shutting down the possibility of returning to the ABC program and says she doesn’t talk to any of the current co-hosts on-air.

“There’s not a chance in hell,” McCain told Page Six of producers ever asking her to return, even as a guest.

The political commentator also acknowledged that she doesn’t want to do it either, adding, “I’ve had kids since then. I really like my life right now and I feel like it’s taken me a long time to sort of get to a place where people are seeing me as more serious.”

McCain currently hosts Citizen McCain and, up until recently, Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat. When the political commentator left the show, she released a memoir where she didn’t have nice things to say about her experience on the show.

The former View co-host joined the show in 2017 and, during her tenure, shared the panel with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, and Abby Huntsman. McCain quit in 2021 and says she doesn’t maintain a friendship with any of the current hosts.

“I don’t talk to any of the main co-hosts that I was with, but I still do have friends, that work on the show and people that I made relationships with,” she said. “But I never want to say who because I don’t want them to get bullied for still being my friend. Like, I don’t want them to be publicly or privately bullied. And I actually have.”

However, McCain said she does maintain relationships with former View co-hosts like Jenny McCarthy and Rosy O’Donnell, who will be a guest on her podcast soon. McCain also said she has Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s phone number on her phone.

“It’s kind of a weird club,” she added. “Like, it’s a weird, you know, it’s like a weird thing to be a part of a weird TV history.”
