The Southern Charm Star That Nearly Landed A Seat On The View

In 2021, “The View” co-host Meghan McCain opted to quit the talk show, leaving her seat at the legendary table empty. According to Variety, McCain shared in her audio memoir, “Bad Republic,” that her feud with Joy Behar greatly impacted her decision to leave. In addition, she was dealing with anxiety following the birth of her first child and no longer felt comfortable on TV. Soon after, speculation arose about who her conservative replacement would be, with Cameran Eubanks being one of the possible choices.

According to a Showbiz Cheat Sheet report, ABC released a statement regarding McCain’s stand-in, which read. “Continuing the mission of dynamic conversations with diverse points of view, ‘The View’ is taking a little time to fill the co-host seat vacant since Meghan McCain’s departure at the end of season 24.” During the interim period, a number of famous faces appeared as guest co-hosts, including “RHONY” star Eboni K. Williams, Condoleezza Rice, Gretchen Carlson, and others.

However, Eubanks never appeared on “The View.” The talk show’s executive producer, Brian Teta, shared on the “Behind the Table” podcast that someone from “Southern Charm” had auditioned for the vacant co-host seat, without explicitly naming Eubanks. Subsequently, Entertainment Weekly was able to confirm Eubanks was indeed mentioned in the since-deleted press release. Teta added: “It was very exciting. It did not pan out.”
