ABC’s daytime talk show, “The View,” is on a summer hiatus after wrapping its 27th season. But it will not be replaced by a talk show from controversial conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has faced repeated criticism for making antisemitic remarks.

“Candace Owens Signs $25 Million Deal With ABC For A Morning Show,” a Facebook post says. “It’s Going to Replace The View.”

The news originated on SpaceXMania, a satirical news site, which labeled the story as satire. The site describes itself as bringing “the freshest fake news, some sassy analysis, and a good dose of satire.”

“The View” posted on its official Instagram account that its 28th season will premiere in September. ABC has not made an announcement that Owens will be headlining a talk show. We also were unable to find any credible media reports supporting the claim.

An ABC spokesperson declined to comment on the claim.

We rate the claim that Candace Owens will host an ABC morning show that will replace “The View” False.
