Meghan McCain Slammed For Cancelled Daytime Shows Jab

Meghan McCain just threw a stone, straight from the glasshouse, apparently!

The media personality’s attempt to pass a joke at the daytime talk show industry seems to have backfired on her, following comments from social media users about how she left her former talk show, and things did not get boring as she expected.

Meghan McCain’s post comes amid the end of talk shows, including those of Sherri Shepherd and Kelly Clarkson, who both announced last week that they would not be back with their respective networks for a new season of their talk shows.

The media personality hopped on X on February 6, to throw shade at the hosts of several daytime talk shows and how their desperation to be loved has ultimately made their shows become sublimely boring, hence resulting in the cancelation spree the world is currently witnessing.

She concluded that the last time the talk show world experienced a real one was when Wendy Williams sat in the hot seat and “said the quiet things we were all thinking out loud.” Meghan noted that Wendy was “messy, raw, real, and wildly entertaining” during her time on television.

The former talk show host’s tweet drew commentaries from several X users who weighed in on her comment and reminded her of her “The View” exit, claiming she is still butthurt about leaving the show. Another X user reminded her that “The View” is still very interesting, despite her exit.

“You were on the view, so I guess your description applies to you also,” one more X user declared. This commenter opined that Meghan was probably impossible to work with, which was why she left the show.

Another X user wrote, “And the reason you’re close to being canceled is because you haven’t said one thing about the killings in Minnesota OR the racist tweet from the president your husband is so obsessed with. You know who would’ve spoken out???? Your dad.”

Meghan’s reference to Wendy was also condemned by another commenter, who informed the media personality that she was mentally ill and her attempt to use her as a jab at other talk show hosts was far from funny or entertaining.

“Choosing Black History Month to uplift a ‘messy & wildly entertaining’ Black woman when there are so many accomplished & successful Blacks that have contributed greatly to society is EXACTLY what those who are paying attention would expect from YOU,” a sixth commenter added.

This X user informed Meghan that Wendy was paying “for her evil heart,” because she made a living on other people’s pain, and the former talk show host would be next in line.

This commenter responded with a picture of Clarkson holding an award while they stressed that “people don’t have to be messy to be entertaining or succesful.”

Another subscriber concluded that no one should be surprised at the fact that Meghan largely preferred “the rolling around in the mud style of talk shows.”

The musical powerhouse shook the TV world when she announced that it was time to bid a farewell to her talk show to focus on more time with her children and other personal pursuits.

As shared by The Blast, sources close to the singer and the production confirmed that the main reasons why she left were the time commitment and her desire to slow things down and live a little.

The singer is reportedly excited to get a break from her demanding daily schedule and spend all that excess free time with her children without the thought of a daily show at the back of her head. Kelly’s new normal will reportedly give her the space to be more present at home while still being the artist she loves.

On whether her music career would continue, a source confirmed in the affirmative and added that she is open ti hopping on new projects that do not require a daily schedule.

She still wants to make music and perform songs, but her new era is reportedly all about balancing the scale instead of overworking herself and jeopardizing family time.

Nevertheless, the singer acknowledged that she shared so many unforgettable moments on the show for the past seven seasons and was fortunate to be the face of her production while working with so many talented people to bring her show to life.

Clarkson’s announcement was not the only news that dropped last week. On February 3, Debmar-Mercury, which distributes the show through Lionsgate, released a statement that Sherri’s show was indeed canceled due to the evolving “daytime television landscape.”

As reported by The Blast, Debmar Mercury stated that the decision to cancel the show does not necessarily reflect on the strength of the show or its production, nor does it speak badly of Sherri’s talent as a host and creative.

The company added that their belief in Sherri remained unwavering and they plan to explore alternatives for the media personality on other platforms.

The former talk show host began the journey on a daytime talk show in the fall of 2022 when she initially occupied the previous time slot of the “Wendy Williams Show,” which ran for 13 seasons.

Sherri herself has reacted to the news of her show’s cancellation, explaining that she had been struggling with COVID, which explained her silence on the news. She, however, promised to address all the news that has come out when she feels better and returns to the host seat for the rest of the season.

The 41-year-old does not hold back on her opinions when it comes to the talk show world, and back in January, she weighed in on Marjorie’s rebrand and accused her of merely trying to get a seat on the hot topics table on “The View” for herself.

Meghan insisted that Marjorie was far from moderate and no one should be buying into her attempt to turn over a new leaf overnight. The late senator’s daughter made this statement in response to a report that she alerted activist group Code Pink about the restaurant where the president was dining in September last year.

According to Marjorie, she only recommended the restaurant to the politician and had no idea he would head out there. The podcaster described Marjorie’s act as very dangerous, noting that Code Pink is a group of radicals who could have hurt the president, who has survived several assassination attempts in the past.
