Actor Rob Schneider said Monday that he is launching a show to compete with “The View.”
“We’re gonna do [an] all-ladies talk show that won't be like ‘The View,’” Schneider told anchor Trace Gallagher on “Fox News @ Night," in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
Schneider said his show, in comparison to ABC’s “The View,” will “be the opposite, ‘cause this will be entertaining” and will feature “funny women.”
“They're going to tell jokes and have funny stories, and health and wellness,” Schneider said.
“The View” features multiple co-hosts who have expressed negative opinions of President-elect Trump, including comedian Whoopi Goldberg, former Trump White House official-turned-Trump critic Alyssa Farah Griffin and Republican strategist Ana Navarro.
“It’s going to be a funny show, not going to be like drowning people in politics,” Schneider said of his upcoming show in his Fox News appearance Monday. “It’s not going to be shaming people and making people wince.”
Schneider has said previously that in the 2016 election, he cast his ballot in favor of Trump and also expressed his support for former 2024 independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bid for the White House. Kennedy is now Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
In the wake of Trump’s May conviction in his New York hush money case, Schneider said on the social platform X that, “just like that… A former President of the United States has been hounded and found guilty by biased Democrats.”
“Now the Republicans will have to retaliate against Democrats when they regain power,” he added.
The Hill has reached out to ABC News for comment.
