Meghan McCain Doesn’t Watch ‘The View’ ‘at All’ After Exit: ‘Like Looking at an Ex-Boyfriend’s Instagram’ (Exclusive)

Meghan McCain has put The View in the rearview since her departure from the talk show in 2021.

In an interview with The Messenger to discuss her new Citizen Cain Productions banner and her Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat podcast, the former co-host said she doesn't "watch it at all."

"Partly it's just because of my lifestyle," added McCain. "I don't have time to watch this kind of content. I do listen to a lot of podcasts. And you know, it's kind of like looking at an ex-boyfriend's Instagram, it's just not great for you. So no, I don't watch."

McCain was a co-host from 2017 until 2021, when she left the ABC series with two years remaining on her contract. When reflecting on her time at The View, she said "I still miss the wardrobe people."

"I just love getting dressed up," she explained. "So I miss the wardrobe people the most and they're very kind. They have been the wardrobe people the entire history of the show."

Since moving on from the show, McCain has been hard at work building Citizen Cain and its debut podcast.

"I was very resistant to do a podcast for a long time, it was an oversaturated market in a lot of different ways," she said. "But honestly, I had such a hard time finding political voices that really speak to me and with me."

McCain added: "I want people on I don't agree with too, that's part of it. I always keep emphasizing with our booker that this is a deeply respectful space, and I am not here to make anybody uncomfortable or scream at them or get in fights in a way. You could have heated arguments that are respectful, but I'm not here to make a spectacle. And I hope the more episodes come out, people will see that."
