Meghan McCain is not a fan of Drew Barrymore’s interviewing style and shared her thoughts about the viral interview with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
On the podcast Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat, the former View co-host reacted to the viral Drew Barrymore Show interview, in which the titular host had the VP as a guest.
McCain said that watching Barrymore interview Harris got her “blood boiling” criticizing the proximity of the host and the vice president.
“I know that’s like Drew Barrymore’s thing but I think someone needs to talk to her, like, not everything is a therapy session and some of this stuff is not appropriate,” McCain said.
The political commentator recalled Barrymore interviewing Oprah Winfrey, where the host was seen “grabbing her hands.” McCain added, “These are people who deserve respect in all ways, including physically respecting their space.”

Meghan McCain Recalls Heated “Hot Topics” Meeting At ‘The View’: “I Remember Yelling At The Meeting”
Although Meghan McCain has expressed she didn’t like to talk about The View, the former co-host is once again invoking her time on the ABC talk show.
On the latest episode of her podcast, McCain recalled a moment she yelled during a meeting of the show over the wealth gap.
“I had an experience while I was working at ABC News [on The View]. I was in a particularly heated Hot Topics meeting,” McCain recalled on Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat (via EW). “I remember yelling at the meeting that, ‘Some of you’ or ‘All of you are going to have to start interacting with people who don’t make $100,000 a year or more. You have to interact with someone who makes minimum wage on some level or another.'”
The political commentator noted that her “experience working in much of corporate media” was composed by wealthy people who...

Meghan McCain said on the latest episode of her podcast “Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat” that she once yelled during a meeting for “The View” and called out the wealth gap in the room. McCain was a controversial co-host of the ABC daytime talk show for four seasons form 2017 to 2021. She didn’t name who she was yelling at, but presumably her co-hosts were in the room as she said it was during a meeting for the daily “View” segment “Hot Topics.”

Producers of the upcoming musical comedy Ghost Of John McCain have responded to angry comments made by the late senator’s daughter Meghan McCain, saying that they will again extend an invitation to Meghan and husband Ben Domenech to attend a reading of the musical before it opens Off Broadway this fall.
“We think they will love it, just as audiences have to date,” said producers Jason Rose and Max Fose in a statement responding to tweets made by Meghan McCain earlier this week in which she called the musical – which she apparently has not seen – “trash” and “a gross cash grab by mediocre desperate people.”
As Deadline reported Tuesday, Ghost of John McCain, a musical comedy set inside the brain of Donald Trump, will make its world premiere Off Broadway this fall. The musical, written by Scott Elmegreen and Drew Fornarola and produced by a team that includes political...

The talent behind the upcoming musical The Ghost of John McCain should not save a front row seat at its premiere for the late senator’s daughter Meghan McCain, as the former cohost of The View and outspoken pundit took to Twitter this week to denounce the forthcoming off-Broadway show, slam its producers and wish it has no success whatsoever.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the show is slated for a fall premiere at New York’s Soho Playhouse. The self-described “serious and satirical musical” was written by Scott Elmegreen with music and lyrics by Drew Fornarola, and its producers include political strategist Jason Rose and Max Fose, a former McCain campaign consultant.
“This is trash,” McCain wrote of the musical, adding that it’s, “Nothing more than a gross cash grab by mediocre desperate people…I hope it bombs.”
This is trash – nothing more than a gross cash grab by mediocre desperate people.

Joe Lieberman, the former Connecticut senator and Al Gore’s Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000, has died. He was 82.
His family said in a statement that he died due to complications from a fall.
“Senator Lieberman’s love of God, his family and America endured throughout his life of service in the public interest,” his family said. His wife, Hadassah, and other family members were at his side when he died, according to the statement.
At the time of his death, Lieberman was leading an effort to recruit a candidate for the group No Labels, which has been seeking a “unity” ticket to run independently of the Democratic and Republican parties.
Lieberman held to the view that, even in a time of hyper polarization, there was a common ground to be found in politics. His own career reflected that, and even those who criticized his positions found him friendly, kind and polite.

Whoopi Goldberg hinted at how The View may have tried to discover who was leaking gossip about the show’s moderators to the press.
During a “Hot Topics” discussion on Thursday about a study that found an upside to being a gossip, the View moderators shared their thoughts on being a blabbermouth.
Goldberg voiced her disdain towards gossiping, saying she doesn’t see anything positive coming from it. Sunny Hostin, who said she enjoys her “tea,” noted that the study said you shouldn’t “shun your resident blabbermouth,” but Goldberg disagreed. “I do [shun them], because the resident blabbermouth is not checking to see if I’m comfortable with my business in the street and I don’t like it,” said the Egot winner.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, who was a White House communications director during the Trump administration, then shared how she likes to handle rumors. “You know what I like to do?...

Political commentator Meghan McCain let loose on Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a conversation with her longtime friend and analyst Laurye Blackford, McCain discussed the Golden Globes and revealed that a friend had sent her videos of Harris’ “gaffes” to provide some entertainment. McCain specifically highlighted Harris’ 2022 speech about the passage of time, “She sounds like stoner, like a 19-year-old stoner in college who’s high at 3 a.m. She makes me so uncomfortable,” McCain said on her podcast. “I don’t like watching her. I don’t like listening to her.”
McCain didn’t stop there. She went on to describe Harris as “really unserious” and issued a warning to her listeners that she was about to make a controversial statement about the vice president.
McCain provocatively suggested, “If anything, Vice President Harris has proven to me that maybe a woman can’t be vice president. I actually think...

Update with Meghan McCain statement: Meghan McCain says her family has not authorized a new, planned musical inspired by – and named after – her late father.
But considering that the in-development musical features fictionalized characters based on public figures, John McCain included, it’s unlikely producers need any such authorization. Deadline has reached out to a show spokesperson for comment.
In an exclusive statement to The Messenger, McCain said, “My family has not authorized it nor was aware of it. I was as surprised as everyone else to see the announcement.”
This morning, producers Quixote Productions and Max Fose announced an invitation-only industry reading later this week in New York of what they call a “provocative and zeitgeisty” new musical titled The Ghost of John McCain. The musical features a book by Scott Elmegreen and score by Drew Fornarola.

Meghan McCain spoke out once again about the long-running daytime talk show, The View on the podcast, You’re Welcome, hosted by Michael Malice.
Malice, a Ukrainian author and anarchist, uses the podcast to “bring his unique perspective – and plenty of sick burns – as he discusses everything from… politics to culture,” according to the Spotify description.
McCain, a journalist, and daughter of John McCain, was a cohost on The View from 2017-2021.
She left after she had an on-air clash with cohost Joy Behar, which stemmed from Behar’s comments about not missing McCain while she was on maternity leave. McCain, who had recently given birth to her daughter, Liberty, as well as dealing with her father’s death at the time, thought it best for her and her family if she quit the show.

Meghan McCain is giving her thoughts on The View and is not mincing her words about the show and her former co-hosts.
A new interview with the political commentator dropped that was seemingly recorded the day that Ana Navarro alluded to former co-hosts using their last names, like Hunter Biden, to gain relevancy. Although Navarro didn’t specifically call out McCain, the former ABC daytime talk show co-host believed she was being referenced.
“I can’t go like a week without something being said about me on the show,” McCain said on the Dec. 27 episode of the Your Welcome with Michael Malice podcast. “The thing about The View is that I didn’t know when I signed my contract with ABC that this is forever.

Meghan McCain is taking shots at her former The View co-host Ana Navarro while defending herself from suggestions she uses her famous last name to gain influence.
On the most recent episode of her podcast Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat, the political commentator and the daughter of the late Senator John McCain flipped the table and claimed Navarro was the one banking on the McCain last name.
“I have a long history with Ana Navarro because she was dating a funder of my dad’s campaign and then joined the campaign, I guess. I have no memory of her ever working on my dad’s campaign, but she claims to,” McCain said of her history with Navarro. “No one has trafficked on the McCain last name and legacy more than Ana Navarro.

Meghan McCain is most definitely not amused by a not-so-cryptic suggestion made today by The View co-host Ana Navarro that an (unnamed) former co-host used her famous last name for influence – and the daughter of the late Senator John McCain says she’ll be consulting her lawyers.
Navarro’s comment came during a Hot Topics discussion about Hunter Biden. “Joe Biden’s crime is being Hunter Biden’s father,” Navarro said. “Look, did Hunter Biden influence peddle on his last name? Yes, he did. So did half of Washington — people sitting at this table did it.”
When the other co-hosts expressed shock, Navarro said, “I’m not talking about currently.”
The comment prompted laughter and a loud response from the other co-hosts. “We just wanted to clear our names!” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, while Sara Haines said, “I was like, ‘Oh my God, do I have a claim to fame that I’m not using?...

Political commentator Meghan McCain has opened up about a heated situation with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson following the death of her father, Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), in 2018.
On a new episode of her Meghan McCain Has Entered The Chat podcast, McCain accused Carlson of getting angry with her for criticizing political consultant Roger Stone after he tweeted that her father would “burn in hell for all eternity” in 2017.
McCain then responded to Stone via Twitter, now X.
“I tweeted something like, ‘Burn in hell’ or ‘Go to hell, Roger Stone,’ and I felt good about it, and I stand by that tweet,” McCain explained.
Shortly after, McCain was at a party in London and received a text from Carlson, which she paraphrased during the podcast episode.
“[He said], ‘What you said about Roger Stone is so gross and so disgusting, he’s a good man,’ or something like that,” she said.

Rep. George Santos is opening up about his weight loss.
While appearing on Meghan McCain‘s new podcast Megan McCain Has Entered the Chat last week, the 35-year-old controversial Congressman confirmed that he’s taking Ozempic to lose weight.
Keep reading to find out more…
“In January 2022, I weighed myself in at 350 pounds and I said, ‘No. This has to change’,” Santos recalled. “In December 2022, I weighed myself in before the New Year rang in and I was 251 pounds, so that’s 99 pounds in a year.”
As for why he started taking Ozempic, Santos explained, I was pre-diabetic, “It totally helped. I think the Fda should really consider looking into it and seeing it as an option for weight loss. Obesity is the number one cause of death in this country.”
“It’s fantastic,” Santos added. “I love it.”
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Santos is facing 23 federal charges.

Meghan McCain was the conservative voice on The View for four seasons, leaving the ABC talk show following Season 24. Following her exit in 2021, the former co-host says she doesn’t watch the show “at all.”
“Partly it’s just because of my lifestyle,” McCain told The Messenger in an interview. “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.”
Although McCain is not keeping up with the opinions that former co-hosts like Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin share on the daytime talk show, the political pundit does miss some people on the show.

Meghan McCain is so done with TV.
After four years on “The View,” the political lightning rod needed a breather.
“This is so superficial,” McCain says when asked why she does not miss being on television every day. “My hair and skin were so thrashed because I wore hair extensions, and bleached my hair and had to wear full camera face makeup every day. Just the idea of having to get my hair wrecked and my face wrecked again is reason enough for me not to miss television.”
With a laugh, she exudes a sense of calm: “My hair looks so good now. My skin looks so good.”
“And,” McCain adds, “I don’t always know that everything needs my opinion.”
What McCain does miss, however, is talking about the news. And so, she’s launching her own podcast and production company.

Another season of The View is officially in the books. The Season 26 finale on Friday, August 4 capped a year of relative stability for the daytime talk show, which struggled to find its footing after the 2020 election and the departure of longtime conservative co-host Meghan McCain. Over the course of this season, McCain's replacement, Alyssa Farah Griffin, developed an easy rapport with the other ladies, and her presence brought an air of calmness to a show that's long been defined by on- and off-screen conflicts. Not to mention, The View's return to normalcy served as a fitting tribute to the show's creator Barbara Walters, who died on December 30, 2022 at the age of 93.

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, popularly known as Joe the Plumber after he confronted then-presidential candidate Barack Obama about taxes at a 2008 campaign rally in Toledo, Ohio, died Sunday of pancreatic cancer. He was 49.
His death was announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, by his friend, the conservative radio host Derek Hunter.
“Horrible news,” Hunter wrote yesterday. “My good friend Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, passed away this morning at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer. He was a good man and an exceptional friend.”
According to the fundraising website GiveSendGo, Wurzelbacher had recently undergone treatment for the cancer at the Ann Arbor Va Hospital and the University of Michigan Hospital.

Monster stories are about as old as storytelling itself, with every primitive society coming up with their own unique spin on man-eating creatures. That’s why it makes sense that writers and filmmakers are still providing us with fresh twists on these ancient tales well into the 21st century, though some of these updates are more successful than others. One monstrous re-imagining that I believe deserves a little more love from genre fans is Howard McCain’s Outlander, a 2008 thriller that loosely re-imagines the classic Beowulf story as a sci-fi monster movie.
Curiously enough, the movie that would become Outlander began life way back in 1992, with McCain coming up with an early iteration of the story which was later rewritten by screenwriter Dirk Blackman. This initial version of the film was intended to be produced independently in southern New Zealand, though it was ultimately never made. It was only in...

Meghan McCain is no fan of the “Sex in the City” spin-off series “And Just Like That”.
In a new column for the Daily Mail, the former “View” alum indulged in her scathing review of the HBO series, which she labels as “woke slop.”
McCain, 38, began the article with praise for the original series’ transgressive and game-changing plotlines and themes around taboo topics in America upon its premiere in 1998.

The first season of “And Just Like That” premiered in December 2021, which McCain was no fan of, stating that “the new show was all about labels; trans, cis, white, black.”
The cherry on top of McCain’s desire to give the series a shot was the return of the iconic Kim Cattrall, who plays the fan favourite and saucy seductress Samantha Jones, although it’s reportedly a tiny cameo.

Meghan McCain has reversed her decision to stop watching HBO’s “And Just Like That” after learning that Kim Cattrall will return to the “Sex and the City” revival series.
“I couldn’t bear to watch the woke-fest ‘Sex and the City’ reboot ruin the show I loved. But now sizzling, sexy Samantha is back… and just like that, so am I,” the former co-host on ABC’s “The View” wrote for The Daily Mail.
“A large part of [the woke-fest] was due to the fact fan-fave character Samantha — played impeccably by Kim Cattrall — had failed to return,” McCain continued. “Samantha was outrageous, glamorous, hilarious. She put sizzling sex into the city. And with her departure came an inevitable slump into dullness. So how thrilled I was to hear the shock announcement this week that Samantha will soon be back on our screens.”

Sunny Hostin is reacting to the fiery column former The View co-host Meghan McCain posted airing out her grievances from her time on the daytime talk show.
While promoting her new book Summer on the Bluffs: A Novel on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, a fan asked Hostin for her thoughts on McCain’s column.
“Oh, let me take a drink. Um, what can I say? I have not read the column. I have heard about it, and our show is a wonderful place,” Hostin said. “We’re the No. 1 talk show in the country, I’m happy to say. I’m surprised that she’s writing about the book.”
She continued, “I know her husband [Ben Domenech] likes to mean-tweet about me, which is shocking, but Meghan and I have always been friendly, we remain friends, and I don’t think she’s doing television anymore.”

Meghan McCain is recalling her time on The View and says she feels validated after listening to Rosie O’Donnell saying she wouldn’t return to the talk show either.
“Rosie O’Donnell and I probably don’t agree on much. But here we’re in sync. There is nothing on God’s green earth that could convince me to ever walk on to that set again,” McCain wrote in her Daily Mail column.
McCain was responding to O’Donnell’s appearance on the Now What? with Brooke Shields podcast where the Now and Then star Whoopi Goldberg squashed certain topics from being discussed on the air, like the sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby.
Although McCain says she’s “always hesitant to rehash” her experience on the show that “ended in a complete disaster” she wrote in her column that she “was also pushed off topics that I thought were newsworthy by show producers.

Meghan McCain has spoken out about her “disastrous” time on The View in a searing column.
The former chat show host left the show in July 2021 after four seasons of presenting alongside co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin.
Months later, she disclosed in her book Bad Republican, the reason she left was due to an on-air tussle with Behar, which left her in tears.
McCain’s since been vocal about her “toxic” experience, but she’s decided to make further claims in a new column for The Daily Mail, published on Friday (21 April).
“I imagine being a former co-host of ABC News’ The View feels much like having a very public, very nasty breakup with an infamous ex-boyfriend,” she began.
“Everyone knows it ended in complete disaster. And absolutely everyone wants to talk about it.”
Continuing, she explained that while she’s “always hesitant to rehash it”, she...

Dominic West is in the "very early stages" of making a movie about legendary horse Red Rum. The 'Crown' star is hoping to direct a film about the late equine, who won the Grand National three times in 1973, 1974, and 1977, and he is surprised a motion picture about the sporting legend hasn't been made before. He said: "I'm hoping to get a film of Red Rum organised."It's very, very early stages. I'm hopefully going to direct it."But West believes he is "too old" to portray Red Rum's trainer Ginger McCain, because he is keen to depict some of the late star's early life. He said: "I'd love to play Ginger, but I think I'm too old. We want to do some of his early life and his struggle and meeting Beryl [McCain's wife] and all that, and I think I'm too old for that really."The star...

"The Simpsons" is one of the most beloved TV shows of all time, and for good reason. Fans have delighted in the antics of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and the rest of Springfield's kooky residents since 1989. But the real strength of the series isn't the characters, but its ability to poke fun at a wide swath of topics without discrimination. Whether you're talking about politics, sports, history, pop culture, or social issues, "The Simpsons" has probably tackled it.
Because of the vast number of its targets, sometimes things that happen on "The Simpsons" later occur in real life. Some of these predictions fall well within the realm of possibility, such as when the episode "Elementary School Musical" depicted prominent economist Bengt R. Holmstrom as a Nobel Prize recipient, only for Holmstrom to win the award six years later. For this list, however, let's look at some of the more...

Somehow, this is the first time the younger McCain has interviewed her father, who was the Republican nominee against then-Sen. Barack Obama. In the “Raising McCain” episode, the senator says he wanted to tell his supporters that he not only “accepted” Obama’s election but “supported it.” Also read: John McCain Makes the Case for A La Carte Cable (Q&A) “Your confession speech has been credited as one of your greatest speeches.
