The View had been in need of a new regular co-host since Rosie O’Donnell departed the show for a second time earlier this season after splitting with wife Michelle Rounds. In recent years, The View has also said goodbye to Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd.

Prior to getting the job as co-host, Raven-Symone had served as a guest host an impressive 37 times.
