The View made vast improvements to cast.

Ratings on ABC's The View has gone up.

In a stunning development that has apparently gone completely unnoticed by its millions of viewers, the entire cast of ABC's The View has been seamlessly replaced by a group of shrieking, feral pigs.

Surprisingly, the show's ratings have remained unchanged, and may have even slightly improved in key demographics.

"The transition has been incredibly smooth," explained a network executive, shouting over the sound of frantic oinking and the rustling of a torn-up script. "The conversational dynamics are largely the same—lots of loud, overlapping squealing, a general sense of chaos, and someone is always rooting around in the dirt for a truffle that looks suspiciously like a hot take."

Longtime viewers reported barely noticing a difference. "I just thought Whoopi was having a particularly passionate day about farm-to-table restaurants," said one loyal fan. "The energy is the same. The coherence is the same. Joy's segment 'Joy Behar: See & Squeal' is a real tour de force."

Animal behavioralists are studying the phenomenon, noting that the pigs have already demonstrated a more nuanced understanding of the electoral college than was previously seen on the program.

The only person who has noticed is Meghan McCain, who is reportedly furious from her home in Maine. "This is an outrage! Those are clearly domesticated pigs! The show has lost all its edge!" she was heard yelling at a portrait of her father.

The new cast is currently negotiating for more applesauce in their green room rider and a larger mud pit for the "Hot Topics" segment.
