Jenny McCarthy 'The View' debut: twerk video

Jenny McCarthy has just made her debut as full-time 'The View' co-host, and here is a clip of her first minutes on the show... she gives her twerking demo. Watch clip below:

According to this article, Jenny "proved why she is a necessary addition to the long-running morning program, which lost co-hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar at the end of last season."

They add: 

"McCarthy is an interesting hybrid of Hasselbeck and Behar’s best attributes—and least when speaking in terms of “good TV.” She’s brassy and unfiltered, like Behar was, but whereas Behar’s quips were of the “One Night Only in Reno” stand-up variety, McCarthy’s dry humor ages the show back down to the Twitter age. (Proving her value as a co-host early on, McCarthy explained to Goldberg what a hashtag is.)

She also brings, as Hasselbeck did, passionate opinions. Just like Hasselbeck’s alone-on-a-limb political stances proved polarizing, McCarthy’s anti-vaccination stances have led critics like The Daily Beast’s Tricia Romano to call her hiring onThe View “dangerous.”

But... not everyone is happy.

Particularly, mothers of kids with autism.

In recent years, Jenny has become well known for her claims that vaccines cause autism. The best-selling author, has blamed vaccines for causing her son, Evan, to develop autism, both during an appearance on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' and in books such as 'Healing and Preventing Autism: A Complete Guide.'

For her part, here is what Barbara Walters had to say about Jenny: "We are delighted that Jenny will be joining us as a permanent co-host on The View starting in September," Jenny said in a statement. "Jenny brings us intelligence as well as warmth and humor. She can be serious and outrageous. She has connected with our audience and offers a fresh point of view. Jenny will be a great addition to the show as we usher in an exciting new chapter for The View.''

In a statement, Jenny said joining The View was a life-long dream.

"I'm beyond thrilled to be joining Barbara and the other amazing women at the table," she said. "I look forward to helping make hot topics a little bit hotter and showing my mom that my interrupting skills have finally paid off."

Will you still tune in now that Jenny will be on?
