Meghan McCain<\/a> is fed up with contemporary daytime talk shows.\n<\/p>\n The former cohost of The View<\/a> criticized the daytime talk landscape in a scathing X post<\/a> on Friday.\n<\/p>\n “The reason all these daytime talk shows are being canceled is because they are sublimely boring and all the hosts want to be loved,” the daughter of the late John McCain wrote.\n<\/p>\n Meghan McCain at ‘What What Happens Live’ in New York City on May 12, 2024.<\/p>\n Charles Sykes\/Bravo via Getty\u00a0<\/p>\n Though she didn’t mention them by name, McCain is almost certainly referring to The Kelly Clarkson Show<\/a> and Sherri<\/a>, which both announced on Monday that they would end at the conclusion of their current seasons.\n<\/p>\n Kelly Clarkson<\/a>‘s show will wrap its run<\/a> after seven seasons, while Sherri Shepherd<\/a>‘s program is finishing after four seasons<\/a>. Both shows will continue production as planned and will air their final episodes in the fall.\n<\/p>\n McCain went on to share her personal favorite daytime talk show host of all time.\n<\/p>\n “Wendy Williams was the GOAT because she said the quiet things we all were thinking out loud,” she wrote. “She was messy, raw, real and wildly entertaining.”\n<\/p>\n The Wendy Williams Show aired from 2008 to 2022, and was ultimately replaced by Sherri<\/a> due to Williams’ ongoing health issues.\n<\/p>\n Wendy Williams attends Daniel’s Leather Fashion Show in New York City on Feb. 15, 2023.<\/p>\n Johnny Nunez\/WireImage<\/p>\n Clarkson announced that her show would finish its run this year in a heartfelt Instagram post, noting that she decided to end the show herself.\n<\/p>\n “This was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show,” she wrote. “Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.”\n<\/p>\n The “Stronger” singer noted that she’s not going anywhere despite the show’s conclusion.\n<\/p>\n “This isn\u2019t goodbye,” she wrote. “I\u2019ll still be making music, playing shows here and there and you may catch me on The Voice from time to time \u2026 you never know where I might show up next. But for now, I want to thank y\u2019all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Clarkson’s announcement came just months after the death of Brandon Blackstock<\/a>, her former talent manager and ex-husband, who died Aug. 7 at 48. Clarkson and Blackstock shared two children, daughter River Rose<\/a>, 11, and son Remy<\/a>, 9.\n<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Shepherd’s show was canceled just hours after Clarkson’s announcement.\n<\/p>\n “This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production \u2014 which has found strong creative momentum this season \u2014 or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,\u201d Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus, the co-presidents of production company Debmar-Mercury, said in a joint statement, adding that the show may continue in another form. “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”\n<\/p>\n Shepherd acknowledged the show’s cancellation<\/a> in an Instagram post on Tuesday, noting that she contracted COVID-19.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n “As soon as I feel better and return to the show, I will address all of the news that has come out,” she wrote<\/a>. “Until then, I am truly grateful that SHERRI has made such an impact on you!”\n<\/p>\n
