Is Jenny McCarthy joining ‘The View’?

Jenny McCarthy has been buzzed about as Joy Behar’s possible replacement on “The View,” but now she’s set the record straight.

McCarthy said that since she has own VH1 show, she won’t be permanently sitting next to Barbara Walters and company on the ABC gabfest. However, the bubbly blonde will be guest-hosting once Behar leaves.

“I will be helping them while they’re looking,” she said to “Extra.”

The “Jenny McCarthy Show” host seemed flattered at the question but continued, “I can’t [because] I have my own show…maybe someday in the future.”

Behar will exit the long-running daytime talk show in August when her contract expires.

“It seemed like the right time,” Behar told Deadline. “You reach a point when you say to yourself, ‘Do I want to keep doing this?’”
