'The View' fires Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd

Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy will no longer be on The View as multiple outlets reported on Thursday that they were fired by ABC.

This leaves Whoopi Goldberg as the sole host of the show.

Sherri and Jenny confirmed on their Twitter and Instagram accounts last night that they were in fact leaving.

Whether they left or were fired is a bit up in the air, but ABC seems to indicate that they made the decisions in a statement released Thursday night:

“‘The View’ will be moving in an exciting new direction next season and ABC has made decisions to evolve the show creatively,” said Lauri Hogan, a spokeswoman for The View.

Will the two ex-hosts be back for a farewell episode when the show comes back live in July?

We shall see.

And for that matter who will be the new co-hosts? Let the speculation begin!
