ABC Fires Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg After Disgusting Comments About Charlie Kirk

In a stunning turn of events, longtime The View co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg have been fired after making comments about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk that ABC executives deemed “disgusting and disgraceful.”

The controversy erupted during a broadcast when Behar joked that Kirk’s memorial service looked like “a Chick-fil-A drive-thru with speeches,” and Whoopi quipped, “If Trump’s speaking at your funeral, you’re not resting in peace—you’re resting in propaganda.”

ABC executives acted swiftly, terminating both hosts indefinitely. In a press release, ABC stated:

“At ABC, we pride ourselves on diversity of thought—but not when that thought desecrates the memory of a patriotic American martyr. Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg’s recent comments about Charlie Kirk were repulsive, disrespectful, and not even that funny. Effective immediately, both have been terminated indefinitely. May God bless America and Charlie Kirk’s memory.”

Both hosts declined official comment.

ABC announced that The View will be replaced with a new program: The Charlie Kirk Show: Daytime Patriot Edition. The show will be co-hosted by Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, alongside Megyn Kelly, with guest appearances from Tucker Carlson and others.

Conservative leaders celebrated the firings as a cultural win. Tucker Carlson stated:

“The end of The View marks the end of daytime disinformation. Whoopi and Joy mocked Charlie Kirk, and now they’re gone. That’s what accountability looks like.”

Turning Point USA announced they would ship free “Rest in Patriotism” mugs to households that pledged never to watch reruns of The View again.

The new Charlie Kirk reboot has already attracted significant interest, and early promotional material has generated millions of online views.

The firing of Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg marks a significant shift in daytime television and the broader cultural conversation, illustrating how political and ideological dynamics continue to influence media programming.
