Actor Rob Schneider was widely mocked after he announced during a Fox News appearance that he is launching a women’s talk show to "compete" against The View.
Schneider announced that filming for the episodes will kick off in January in Los Angeles. He and his production company, No Apologies Media, are inviting fans to submit title suggestions on X (formerly Twitter).
While promoting the project to Fox's Trace Gallagher, Schneider said the following:
"We're going to do an all-ladies talk show that won't be like 'The View'. ... It'll be the opposite because it'll be entertaining. It'll be funny."
"There will be funny women on it and they're going to have jokes and they're going to have stories [about] health and wellness." ...
"We're gonna compete with them. We're not gonna obtain the same time slot, we're not going to announce who's doing so yet but that's what's happening now and it's official so now we're moving ahead. We're going to start filming videos ahead of the inauguration [of President-elect Donald Trump]."
Schneider promised the project will be "a funny show" that's not going to be "drowning people in politics," "shaming people," or "making people wince." He emphasized that the project is not about "trying to just bring people who are angry and bitter and reinforcing their political echo chamber.”
You can hear what he said in the video below.
The likelihood Schneider will succeed at competing with a show currently in its 28th season was ridiculous, and the mockery was swift.
It, like Rob Schneider’s career, will last just a couple of months. Rob’s about as funny as having a hot needle poked into your eye.

Rob Schneider, the Z list "comedian" and Adam Sandler's worst creation, thinks he's going to make a show to compete with The View. Another investment opportunity for Elon. 😂

Schneider has claimed there is no shortage of conservatives in Hollywood but his many conservative friends are "scared" of speaking out for risk of tanking their careers.
He said in an interview with Fox News that his conservative friends genuinely "fear cancel culture too much to speak up." He also said he has been shunned in Hollywood for openly sharing his conservative views, and he has people who don't "return calls as often."
Schneider has gone on record before to say he is willing to "lose it all" for his MAGA beliefs and once said he's long past caring about his career and instead cares about "my children and the country they're going to live in."
Additionally, he lashed out at critics earlier this year amid claims his set at a GOP holiday gala in 2023 was so "gross and vulgar" that it was cut short. Schneider responded by saying he'd had "enough of this woke bulls**t, America's sick of it" despite reports that Mississippi Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith was among those offended by his set and decided to leave.
