Actor and comedian Rob Schneider has announced the launch of a new women’s talk show under his media company, No Apologies Media. The project is being positioned as a lighter, funnier alternative to ABC’s long-running program The View. Speaking during an appearance on Fox News @ Night, Schneider revealed that the talk show will feature humor, storytelling, and a focus on health and wellness. “It’ll have funny women on it that are going to tell jokes and tell stories,” he said. Unlike The View, Schneider promised the new show would avoid political divisiveness and instead prioritize laughter and entertainment.
The comedian shared that the show will include “household names” and filming is set to begin soon. Schneider emphasized his goal of creating content that resonates with a broad audience by steering clear of the anger and bitterness often associated with political debates. “People are sick of it,” he said, referencing the current climate of divisive politics. By spotlighting diverse voices from across the country, Schneider hopes to build a platform that unites viewers through humor and shared experiences.
Schneider’s efforts to counter divisive rhetoric extend beyond his talk show. In his recently released book, You Can Do It!, the comedian champions the importance of free speech and urges Americans to defend their First Amendment rights. Named after his iconic movie catchphrase, the book highlights the vital role of comedians in challenging societal norms and speaking truth to power. Schneider draws inspiration from legendary figures like Chris Farley and David Spade, alongside profiles of 20th-century comedians who risked their careers to push boundaries and tackle controversial topics.
The Saturday Night Live alum also voiced concerns about the current state of free speech in America. He warned of increasing suppression of dissenting opinions by media outlets and corporations, which he believes have been influenced by partisan ideologies. Schneider specifically criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, accusing them of undermining foundational freedoms. “We are dealing with Marxists in our government,” he said, urging Americans to take a stand against what he described as a growing threat to democracy.
Through his new talk show and his book, Schneider is doubling down on his commitment to creating content that celebrates freedom of expression while resisting censorship. He hopes his media ventures will encourage viewers to engage with diverse perspectives and find common ground through humor. “At some point, we have to say ‘enough,’” he said. By combining entertainment and advocacy, Schneider aims to inspire others to join him in preserving America’s core values, including the right to free speech.
