Bush, was asked to leave her position because she didn’t argue enough in politics and didn’t know enough about celebrities. Variety says ABC has instead offered Wallace a contract to appear as a contributor to the show. Neither Wallace nor the network have commented. The next season of _The View_ begins in September. \[[_Variety_](http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/nicolle-wallace-axed-as-the-view-co-host-exclusive-1201541069/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3960618/nicole-wallace-fired-the-view/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3960618/nicole-wallace-fired-the-view/"},"headline":"Nicole Wallace Reportedly Fired as Co-Host of 'The View'","datePublished":"2015-07-16T12:19:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:18:42.512Z","description":"She may continue as a contributor","url":"https://time.com/3960618/nicole-wallace-fired-the-view/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdd0c83577daee4ef/69885b25428a9e1537cce2fd/nicole-wallace.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdd0c83577daee4ef/69885b25428a9e1537cce2fd/nicole-wallace.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ABC's \"The View\" - Season 18","caption":"ABC's \"The View\" - Season 18","creditText":"Lou Rocco—ABC/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3960618/nicole-wallace-fired-the-view/","name":"Nicole Wallace Reportedly Fired as Co-Host of 'The View'"}}]}] ```
