CBS is shaking up daytime TV with The Morning Right, a new conservative talk show featuring Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Megyn Kelly. Set to premiere in early 2025, the show aims to provide a platform for conservative voices, directly challenging ABC’s The View. Blending political commentary, cultural discussions, and high-profile interviews, CBS is betting on Hasselbeck and Kelly’s star power to appeal to audiences seeking alternative perspectives. Hasselbeck, a former co-host of The View and Fox & Friends, is known for her vocal conservatism, while Kelly, a former Fox News and NBC anchor, brings sharp interviewing skills and a large following. Both are eager to foster respectful dialogue, avoiding the heated debates often seen on The View.
Recurring segments like “The Pulse of America” and “Heritage Spotlight” will address key social issues and highlight influential conservative women. CBS executives call the show “a movement,” aiming to capture the underserved conservative audience.
While praised by conservative commentators, critics warn the show may increase media polarization. With The View’s ratings declining, CBS’s bold move has the potential to redefine daytime television—whether as a triumph or a polarizing gamble remains to be seen.
