Vision for Entertainment Over Politics

During an appearance on Fox News @ Night, Schneider explained his vision for the upcoming show. “‘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 elaborated that the show would include “funny women” sharing jokes, stories, and discussions about health and wellness. Fox News / Wikimedia

Set to begin production before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, the show will feature well-known personalities. Although specific co-hosts have not been confirmed, Schneider assured viewers that they can expect “household names.” Gage Skidmore / Wikimedia

Aims to Offer Laughter Over Politics

Schneider’s vision for the show allegedly stands in contrast to The View, which has become known for its often politically charged conversations. Schneider emphasized that his program will prioritize laughter and connection over politics. “People are sick of it,” he remarked. “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.” Lincoln Square Productions / Wikimedia
