The View will name former Trump White House comms director Alyssa Farah Griffin as the show’s full-time conservative co-host, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Daily Beast, finally filling the vacancy left by Meghan McCain’s dramatic exit last summer.
Farah Griffin will join full-time co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin, as well as rotating co-host Ana Navarro, starting in September when the weekday talk show returns for its 26th season.
The Daily Mail first reported Farah Griffin’s selection on Tuesday afternoon. Farah Griffin did not respond to a request for comment but an ABC spokesperson emailed: “We do not have a co-host announcement to make at this time. Stay tuned.” The show will likely announce her hiring next week, sources told The Daily Beast, as The View wraps up its 25th season before a summer break.
