Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been axed from daytime talk show The View after nine years, it has been claimed.
It comes just days after fellow cohost Joy Behar announced her own departure from the ABC show after almost 17 years.
Sources tell Us Weekly that Hasselbeck is being ousted after market research revealed that she isn’t popular with TV audiences.
‘The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right wing,’ a source tells the magazine. ‘People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed.’
A spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment when contacted by MailOnline.
Hasselbeck, 35, joined the cast of the daytime talk show in November 2003 and is said to earn $1million per year.
During her time on the show she has been involved in controversial arguments.
