Former ESPN host Sage Steele slammed ABC’s “The View” while appearing on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast.
Maher suggested that Steele should join the liberal ABC daytime talk show. “You should be on ‘The View,’” Maher said.
“Hell no!” Steele said. “I’ve been on ‘The View’ and it didn’t go so well because you know what? At ‘The View,’ they don’t want your view. They only want theirs. And they’re b——.” (Poll: Is CNN ‘Fake News’? VOTE)
“Exactly,” Maher said. “And the problem is they’ve never had anybody who’s smart enough to actually say it the way you’re saying it.”
“I disagree with that,” Steele said.
“When you’re four-on-one… and I’ve experienced it. I’ve felt it,” she added.
“And they were nice to me, relatively speaking. Whoopi was very nice to me. Jenny McCarthy- this was Whoopi, Jenny McCarthy, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters. And they were great to me. Barbara, whatever. The other three were great.”
“And what I know for a fact, I did it four times, and then they had me audition when they were making changes again, they 100% are full of it. They don’t want to hear your view if you think differently than they do. And they are fine telling lies on that stage and that set. And because they know that if someone calls them on it, then they’re just gonna talk over them and have the audience clap and go to break,” she continued.
“So the show to me is despicable, and it makes me sad because the potential for 20-some years, I respect that, the length they’ve done it, but the potential is incredible, and they ruined it.” she added.
“But I think you can handle it,” Maher said.
Steele said, “They easily could have called me, especially the last several years when these conversations have to take place. They won’t call me- why? Because they know. They know that I’m not afraid. They don’t want that. So, no, thank you.”
“Having successfully settled my case with ESPN/Disney, I have decided to leave, so I can exercise my First Amendment rights more freely,” Steele posted on social media.
“I am grateful for so many wonderful experiences over the past 16 years and am excited for my next chapter!”
