Jenny McCarthy To Be Fired From 'The View'?

Jenny McCarthy is in danger of being fired from The View, Radar Online reported Monday.

Sources told the site that viewers have not been connecting with the former Playboy bunny. The 40-year-old and her opinions are proving to be more unpopular than former host Elisabeth Hasselbeck who left the show in May.

"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!" the source said.

"The data has revealed that she is FAR more off-putting than Elisabeth."

The source added that Barbara Walters has not begun looking for a replacement. However, McCarthy will need to turn things around quickly. Some have found her off putting for her views on such topics as vaccinations and autism.

"She is obsessed with ratings and the longevity of the show, so Jenny needs to turn it around or she will be gone," the source said.

The source said that McCarthy has almost two years left on her contract but Walters could buy her out if there was no improvement.

"Right now they're just trying to adjust Jenny's performance on the show so that she comes off as more appealing, but that's an uphill battle," the source said.
