When her contract expires, in August, Jenny McCarthy will leave ABC’s talk show The View, but she already has a new job waiting for her.

Appearing on Howard Stern’s show, Jenny has opened up about her time on The View and revealed her next step.

“The most rewarding [part of being on The View] has definitely been working with Barbara Walters for a year, I mean working under her and just. Asking her questions backstage has been the most intriguing thing,” she told Stern.

However, she didn’t feel comfortable doing the show.

“I’ll tell you something Howard, it’s like halfway into it, it was probably around February, I went, ‘God I’m not allowed to be the best of me here,’ I feel like to have a voice, to be able to speak without having to interrupt people,” she said. “It’s very difficult, and I don’t like doing it, it’s very uncomfortable, so I felt like, ‘You know what? Maybe this is just a stepping stone for me to go somewhere where I can actually be my full self.'”

Jenny’s next gig will be a weekly SiriusXM radio show called Dirty, Sexy, Funny with Jenny McCarthy.

She said:  “It’s no secret that I love to talk. I’m excited to do it on SiriusXM without having to interrupt anyone or keep things clean. You can bet your sweet ass this show will live up to its title.”
