‘I Didn’t Die!’: Inside Meghan McCain’s Awkward Exit From ‘The View’

Well, the moment has finally arrived. Meghan McCain made her final appearance on The View Friday morning and it was hard not to detect a sense of relief among her long-suffering co-hosts that it was finally over.

McCain herself seemed more subdued than usual in the pre-taped episode, hardly able to muster any outrage at all over Jennifer Aniston’s decision to end friendships with the people in her life who refuse to get vaccinated. The show saved her big send-off for the very end of the episode, after an interview with McCain’s “special friend,” Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema—whom she proudly labeled the “perfect person to represent Arizona”—and an appearance from her mother, Cindy McCain.

As Cindy explained, her late husband John McCain was “adamant” that his daughter join The View in 2017 “because he thought it would be a good format for her,” adding that it was really “his idea” that she do the show in the first place.

“As you know, we used to call her John McCain in a dress when she was little,” she continued. “So we knew she could do it and we knew she had the ability to make waves or deal with controversy, all the things that you do so well on this show.”

After thanking her mother for the kind words, Meghan joked, “I didn’t die! I’m just leaving the show. I feel like I died and this is my memorial.”

That was followed by a video tribute from her “boyfriend,” former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who praised her for speaking her mind before telling her she made the “right decision” to quit the show so she could spend more time at home with her new baby.

Noting that her departing co-host has “never been at a loss for words,” moderator Whoopi Goldberg introduced an extended montage of clips that was full of emotional moments of female empowerment but short on the nasty back-and-forth fights that defined her tenure for so many viewers.- Source

Meghan McCain said goodbye to The View on Friday after co-hosting the show with Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sara Haines for four years. McCain, who relocated to Washington D.C. during the pandemic, said that she was leaving because her life was no longer compatible with the job. She announced her plans to leave during a July 1 episode, saying, “This was not an easy decision. It took a lot of thought and counsel and prayer and talking to my family and my close friends.” During her final episode on Aug. 6, McCain took the opportunity to thank her The View co-hosts and offer a surprising apology. Read on to find out who the departing host apologized to and why.

McCain’s farewell episode included appearances from McCain’s friend, Arizona’s Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and a taped message from former House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Meghan McCain says she’s ‘finding a new path’ after being ‘the queen of burnout’ for a long time

Meghan McCain is booked, but not overworked.

Almost a month after announcing her departure from “The View,” the conservative TV personality is reflecting on burnout and how some pivotal moments in her life allowed her to alter her perspective.

In an Instagram post Sunday, the talk show host shared a quote from Twitter user @katyleeson that read: “We need to stop glamorizing overworking. Please. The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded. Too many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor and it needs to change.”

McCain expounded on the quote in her comments, saying although she enjoys the fulfillment working gives her, she’s been “the queen of burnout for a long, long time.”

“It only took my dad dying of terminal brain cancer, suffering a horrendous miscarriage, a global pandemic where I thought I would most likely die of covid while pregnant and then experiencing first time motherhood isolated and alone in quarantine for me to receive this knowledge and really start believing it,” she wrote.- Source
