Now that Joy is leaving ‘The View’ a new report says the search is on for a Latina woman, who is a passionate Republican, to take her spot. Who do you think it should be?
Joy Behar has given up her seat at The View‘s daily morning show on ABC, and it turns out Barbara Walters is assisting producers in their quest for a new co-host!
Who Will Take Joy’s Spot On ‘The View’
The report claims that ABC wants to shake up the show and they’re looking for a “feisty woman” who has similar views to Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
One woman in mind is Rachel Campos-Duffy, a 41-year-old mother-of-six, who is a strict Catholic. She actually tried out for Lisa Ling‘s spot in 1999.
Another woman reportedly in the running is Jaci Velasquez, 33, who has two kids and her own radio show. But perhaps celebs Gloria Estefan, or Raquel Welch may nab the coveted spot.
An insider tells The Daily Mail: “Of course, we want someone outspoken and passionate, just like the other women on the show. We have a few months until Joy leaves and whoever joins has to add something new and fresh to the show. They have to fit in, but also be prepared to be combative.”
ABC has “no comment.”
Is Elisabeth Leaving ‘The View’?
Barbara made sure to tell viewers that Elisabeth is not leaving the show, despite claims that she was being forced out. She also added that she’s not leaving either.
Who do you think would be a good choice to take Joy’s seat?
