Jenny McCarthy might not think too highly of The View since her departure, but that hasn't soured her relationship with former co-host Nicolle Wallace.

While appearing on Watch What Happens Live Thursday, Wallaced received a question from a caller asking what she thought about McCarthy comparing the long-running talk show to a "sinking ship." Wallace gave the classiest response, which also happens to include some serious gushing on her part.

"You know I love Jenny McCarthy so much," she dished. "If we both weren't happily married it'd be super creepy."

She continued, "I think in the same interview she said that The View needs to simmer, and I think that was a pretty profound thought."

That was unexpected! Especially since Wallace is still a co-host on the show! But, the blond beauty continued, she also acknowledges that Donnie Wahlberg's wife worked on the show longer than she has. "I think I'm on my like seventh month, and it all feels so much easier than it did," she added. "She's had the experience to get to say whatever she wants."

McCarthy, who now has a show on SiriusXM called Dirty, Sexy, Funny, opened up about her experience on The View during a visit with her hubby on the Howard Stern Show, and revealed she was approached to return.

"One of the producers called and said would I ever consider it? And I said, 'No, thank you.' Because I couldn't be me," she told Howard Stern.

She also gave her prediction for the lady-led show and said that she didn't see it lasting too much longer. "I think they might try one more year and then I think the Titanic might go down," she said. Prior to her departure, however, she had a slightly different opinion and said she was "grateful" for her experience.

"All I can say is, wow, I am grateful," Jenny said before the show aired some of her best clips. "Second, I've continued to do what I've tried to do in any situation I have found myself in, which is to learn. I've learned from my mentor Barbara Walters and also from my dear friend, Sherri Shepherd."
