In a move no one saw coming — and one that may go down as the most explosive moment in modern daytime television — The View has been abruptly pulled from ABC’s schedule just hours after Fox News contributor and former pro wrestler Tyrus made a rare and highly controversial appearance on the show.
The chaos erupted when Tyrus, known for his blunt commentary and unapologetic conservatism, sat across from the panel of outspoken liberal co-hosts and delivered what many are calling a brutal takedown that shattered the show’s usual flow — and reportedly triggered off-air panic inside ABC studios, with some insiders suggesting even the network’s legal and liability teams were caught off guard by what unfolded.
The Moment That Lit the Fuse. Sources say the segment started like any other tense political discussion, with Tyrus invited to “offer a different perspective” on current cultural issues — topics that often impact families, from healthcare access, hospital costs, to the importance of private health insurance. But the conversation took a sharp turn when co-host Sunny Hostin accused conservative media of “intentionally spreading fear and division.”
Tyrus didn’t flinch. “Fear and division?” he fired back. “I’ve sat here for 15 minutes listening to you label half the country as extremists. The real division starts right here at this table — every single day.”
The audience gasped. The hosts froze. And for 10 agonizing seconds, there was complete silence on set.
