Courtesy WireImageNow that season 18 of The View is officially underway—following a massive overhaul that included firing half of the panel over the summer—fans are eager to hear former co-host Jenny McCarthy's thoughts on the revamped ABC talk show.
But unfortunately for all of you eager viewers, the 41-year-old stunner has yet to tune in to the first episode.
"I have not, because I've been working 18 hours a day," McCarthy told E! News at Courvoisier's Exceptional Journey campaign launch event when asked if she's seen the new View.
But unlike fellow former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who previously admitted she's not familiar with the new faces on the panel, this blond bombshell will seemingly be setting her DVR.
"I can't wait to check it out," she added.
Monday's season 18 premiere of The View not only marked the second-highest premiere on record since the show's inception in 1997, but also marked the return of Rosie O'Donnell, who famously exited the program in 2007 following her infamous feud with Hasselbeck, which led to the comic's premature exit from the series. The other famous faces filling up the round table include Whoopi Goldberg, who is the only returning host from the previous season, as well as new additions Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace.
And while it's still too soon to predict the season's success, despite having a triumphant return to the boob tube, McCarthy revealed that the reactions have been mixed.
"I've been hearing, 'I like the set/I don't like the set. I can't wait for them to fight/I'm so glad that they're not fighting.' So it's like this real mixture," she said. "But people really don't know until they give it a little while. I think they were looking to bring the heat, so that's what everyone's anticipating."
Meanwhile, McCarthy is still feeling a sense of wedded bliss since tying the knot late last month with New Kids on the Block star Donnie Wahlberg. The adorable duo said "I do" near Chicago in front of a close group that included several members of their family before the couple jetted off for a romantic honeymoon in Hudson Valley, not far from NYC.
"We did a mini," she said of the pair's quick getaway. "We are going to do a maxi hopefully in a few months somewhere warm. We deserve it."
E! News also obtained photos of the blushing bride wearing a stunning white dress surrounding by beautiful red roses, and the mother of one dished additional details with regards to the gown and the decor on her special day.
"I wanted red roses, so I started there. I couldn't have any other color," she explained. "So it kind of had to be a black and white wedding with red roses. So my bridesmaids dresses were black, I had red roses, my tables were mirror-top, so I couldn't be off-white. I had to wear white. And then I found a dress…I don't really have hips so I knew I needed something that went out a little bit. I'm shaped like a boy. I had lost a little bit more weight than I thought, so my dress was actually falling a little bit. It was strapless and I ended up having to pull it up all night long."
McCarthy also commented on Mark Wahlberg's absence at the wedding (the actor previously committed to attending his daughter's birthday party) and brushed off the media reports of any family drama.
"Oh, I think it was all [the media.]" she said when asked about the supposed Wahlberg wedding controversy. "I didn't hear much other than everything's great and they called. It's all good, we're very happy."
As for how the two plan to balance their busy work flow as newlyweds, particularly with McCarthy's upcoming book tour?
"Hopefully, Donnie will come with on the weekends," she said. "And you know, I do the same when he tours with New Kids. We try to make it so we're there for each other when we have trips. So far, it's been working. I honestly feel like we've been blessed. I even say that, every day we should be thankful to God because our work seems to follow each other."
