Why Candace Cameron Bure Left ‘The View’

Crown Media

Candace Cameron Bure, a favorite among Hallmark fans, had a short stint where she hosted “The View,” but it didn’t last long. She wasn’t fired, and left on good terms. But years after she left, she opened up more about why she said goodbye and she’s recently revealed if she would ever return.


Candace Cameron Bure Left Because She Wanted To Spend More Time with Her Family & Couldn’t ‘Be Superwoman’ Anymore

Candace Cameron Bure only stayed on “The View” as a host for two seasons. When she left in December 2016, she told People that it was traveling coast-to-coast every week from Los Angeles to New York that caused her to decide to leave.

“I have traveled coast to coast every single week so I could be at home on the weekends with my family, and then back to work in New York during the week,” she revealed.

She said she tried to be “superwoman” and juggle everything, but it was too much on her, her husband, and her three children. She said the decision was tough.

“Before I started ‘The View,’ I had already had my commitments to ‘Fuller House’ and my work with the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. And because of the success of those, my commitments have become even greater with those shows… I’ve tried to be superwoman and I’m going to not try anymore.”

Bure said she enjoyed “The View,” but it was just too hard for her to manage her schedule. She said only her husband and kids knew about her decision before it was publicly announced.

Showrunner Candi Carter shared the announcement on Twitter.

She left on amicable terms with the show and there were no hard feelings.


Years Later, She Admitted That She Enjoyed Not Having To Talk About Politics Anymore

Three years after she left “The View,” Bure admitted in December 2019 that it was nice not having to talk about politics anymore. She appeared on “Tamron Hall” and said she didn’t miss being on “The View” at all, even though she missed the people, People reported.

I’ll be honest, I’m going to hop over after the show and go say ‘hi’ because they all are friends and feel like buddies. But I don’t miss talking about politics every day. I want to stay in happy land. I want to be in a bubble where I just want to be kind and respectful and love on people.

She told People that when she joined, the show was supposed to focus less on politics and more on evergreen topics. She thought she was going to work for a “lighter” show and then everything changed.

“Enter Donald Trump into the presidential race,” she said. “It changed everything. The lighter version of the show I thought I was going to work for suddenly became solely about politics. I felt like I was back in school, doing four to five hours of homework a night. It was exhausting.”


She Doesn’t Want to Return to ‘The View’

Bure has no interest in returning to “The View” as a host, she also revealed.

She told People in a recent interview that she would never want a permanent spot on the show again, although she always enjoys when she comes on as a guest.

“My time at ‘The View’ was exciting, challenging, informative, emotional, and stressful,” she said. “It was one of the toughest jobs I’ve held, but I was incredibly grateful for the opportunity to sit at the table with such talented, smart, capable women… While I’d never want a permanent seat at the table again, it always feels like family when I come back to the show as a guest.”

Bure is very busy these days with Hallmarkprojects. She’s still actively filming installments for “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries,” and she was the host for the 2020 Christmas preview special. She’s also starring in “The Christmas Contest” on The Hallmark Channel this year, which may premiere sometime in November.
