Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd bared their all on Monday's The View.

The co-hosts of the morning talk show surprised viewers when they tossed their tops to the side and continued to report on the news completely topless!

Shortly after stripping their clothes off, the ladies began discussing a recent episode of Girls where Lena Dunham's character proudly parades around in her birthday suit (you know, like every episode).

"Thank you, thank you!" McCarthy said to the audience as they cheered her on.

"You know she [Lena] gets press every week for being naked," Shepherd explained. "So we're jumping on the bandwagon!"

McCarthy added, "It's true. We want more ratings, too!"

Unlike the hit HBO series which doesn't censor Dunham's (or anyone's for that matter) nudity, both McCarthy and Shepherd had their chests shielded by black boxes to prevent any indecent exposure.

"Wait a minute!" Shepherd exclaimed.

"Look at my box. Why is my big black box so much bigger than yours? You got the cute little rectangle box. I don't like my box, I want your box!"

McCarthy's censored area was just around her breasts with both her shoulders and midriff exposed; while Shepherd's covered up pretty much her entire upper body.

But that didn't stop the outspoken blonde from shimmying around and grabbing her chest in a playful way.

"Take a little time to enjoy our view," she joked.
