Actor and comedian Rob Schneider announced the launch of a women’s talk show under his new media company, positioning it as an alternative to ABC’s The View.
“‘No Apologies Media,’ my new company, we’re going to do an all-ladies talk show that won’t be like ‘The View,’” Schneider said. “It will be the opposite because this will be entertaining. It’ll be funny,” he said during an appearance on “Fox News @ Night” on Monday.
“It’ll have funny women on it that are going to tell jokes and tell stories, and health and wellness,” he continued.
The new show will feature “household names,” the comedian said, and will begin filming episodes before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to Fox News.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum noted that, unlike “The View,” this new talk show will focus on making people laugh rather than “shaming them” with politics.
“People are sick of it,” Schneider said of divisive politics. “We’re going to have an entertaining show with people — from all over America. We’re not just trying to bring people who are angry and bitter and reinforcing their political echo chamber,” he added.
Schneider has increasingly warned about free speech in America coming under assault.
In his new book, You Can Do It!, named after his iconic movie catchphrase, Rob Schneider urges Americans to speak their minds boldly and to actively defend their First Amendment rights.
