Meghan McCain says goodbye to ‘The View’: ‘It’s been a really wild ride’

Meghan McCain has officially said goodbye to “The View”.

McCain made her final remarks to viewers as the co-host of the daytime talk show on her last episode of the show on Friday. For nearly four years, she was the conservative voice of the panel, often engaging in on-air feuds with her co-hosts. She announced her departure last month.

“Thank you again to everyone for the privilege and honor it has been over the past four years working on this show,” said McCain. “It was really amazing. It will be referenced in everything I do for the rest of my life. You women have been amazing working with you. The team, the producers, everyone works so hard.

McCain, who has often made headlines for his controversial remarks on the show, then thanked audiences for allowing him to share his opinions and perspective.

“It’s been a really crazy ride for the last four years of my life,” she continued. “Honestly, it was the best and the worst time ever, on and off the show. It was a truly amazing and liberating experience, and I will always cherish the time I have spent with all of you.

McCain then joked that she hoped “The View” executive producer Brian Teta could forgive her for “raising her blood pressure in the past four years.”

McCain’s latest episode included appearances by his mother, Cindy McCain, Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Last month, viewers were delighted with Joy Behar’s reaction when McCain first announced his intention to leave the show on the air.

The veteran co-host was saw raising eyebrows after McCain joked that she would be on the show for another month and the panel still had four weeks to “fight some more.”

“You and I have had our disagreements, we have had our fights. We also had some drinking moments, which were pretty fun and interesting, ”Behar said later in a farewell speech to McCain, adding that the Tory was a“ formidable opponent ”.

Behar and McCain made headlines in May after Behar urged McCain to “have some respect” for Behar joining “The View” nearly 25 years ago, after engaging in a tense discussion about the way the media covers anti-Semitic hate crimes.
