"It works for Girls -- but will it work for The View? Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd took a cue from HBO star Lena Dunham and went topless on Tuesday, April 1, joking that they wanted to see whether they, too, could boost their ratings with a little nudity.\r\n\r\nThe two co-hosts started out the segment fully clothed, but after showing a brief clip from a recent episode of Girls -- in which Dunham&amp;apos;s character, Hannah, does some sexual role-playing with her boyfriend, Adam -- they stripped off their shirts, leaving their bare chests covered by just two black boxes. Not surprisingly, the audience went wild.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;You know, Lena, she gets press every week for being naked,&amp;quot; Shepherd, 46, joked of Dunham, 27, who is frequently nude on her HBO show. &amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re jumping on the bandwagon.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s true,&amp;quot; McCarthy, 41, piped in. &amp;quot;We want more ratings, too.&amp;quot;\r\nShepherd then pretended to get upset, noting how much bigger her black box was compared with her co-host&amp;apos;s. (McCarthy&amp;apos;s covered just her breasts, while Shepherd&amp;apos;s covered almost her entire torso.)\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Wait a minute. Look at my box. Why is my big black box so much bigger than yours?&amp;quot; she complained. &amp;quot;You got the cute little rectangle box. Mine, the whole family could [fit behind it]. I want your box!&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe segment ended with Shepherd still arguing the size of her box, as McCarthy quipped: &amp;quot;Take a little time to enjoy our view.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
