In what can only be described as a long-awaited decision, the ABC CEO has officially canceled The View, the daytime talk show that has been a staple of heated debates, fiery exchanges and countless disapproving looks for nearly three decades.

With a tone that combined exasperation and relief, the CEO announced the decision at a news conference that felt more like a therapy session for a network tired of dealing with constant controversy.

“The time has finally come to cancel The View,” the CEO said, looking more relaxed than ever. “We’ve survived 28 seasons of this madness, but enough is enough. It’s been a tough decision, but honestly, it might be the easiest decision we’ve made all year.”
