Daytime TV watchers apparently don’t like to view Jenny McCarthy.
The ex-Playboy Playmate and new “The View” addition has been so wildly unpopular with show fans, they’re allegedly tuning out when she comes on air.
“ABC has begun doing deep research on Jenny’s work on the show and the initial findings are that viewers want to tune out the second she opens her mouth!” a production source told RadarOnline. The 40-year-old bombshell McCarthy replaced Elisabeth Hasselbeck. “The data has revealed that she is far more off-putting than Elisabeth,” according to the anonymous ABC source.
ABC denied there’s research to show McCarthy’s sagging popularity.
“There is absolutely no truth to the story,” an ABC rep said on Monday.
