‘The View’ Completes Panel With Two New Co-Hosts: An Actress and a Political Commentator

Sep 4, 2014  •  Post A Comment

“The View” has now completed its on-air panel that will greet viewers when the show starts its new season on Sept. 15, 2014.
The two new co-hosts will be actress Rosie Perez and political commentator Nicolle Wallace, reports our friend Nellie Andreeva in a scoop for Deadline.
Perez and Wallace will join current hosts Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg. The two new co-hosts are replacing Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy, who left the show in August.
Andreeva writes, “Wallace, who served as communications director for George W. Bush, was among the women who did a screen test forThe View’ last month, emerging as one of the frontrunners. She also did three guest co-hosting stints this year. Perez has been largely under the radar during the search but she is a household name and served as a guest co-host on the talk show in February.”
Wallace, who has been a conservative commentator on MSNBC, will likely be seen by some viewers as the person on the reconfigured “The View” who most reminds them of former conservative “View” commentator Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Perez will be juggling her co-hosting work with an appearance on Broadway, where she’s co-starring with Larry David in his play “Fish in the Dark,” the piece adds.

  1. Rosie Perez? Really? They couldn’t find anyone more annoying? I hear the sounds of the Nielsen ratings plummeting as I write this. It’s been a nice run ladies…I’d get those resumes ready

  2. Noticed the preview photo of quest Rosie Perez appeariing on the new Meredith Viera daytime talk show shows Ms. Perez with lots of cleavage. Again NBC daytime programing guroos flaunt their “astute” knowledge and respect for its women viewers’ interests and concerns.

  3. Agreed. A stick up her behind right winger and ditzy Perez with the full time cleavage on display. Great choices. This is who you get to represent women’s views?
