‘The View’ Officially Names Joy Behar, Candace Cameron Bure and Paula Faris Co-Hosts for Season 19

Behar returns to the ABC daytime talk show after departing 2 years ago

Former “View” co-host Joy Behar will return to ABC’s daytime talk show on Sept. 8, it was announced Tuesday.

“The View” has also confirmed TheWrap’s previous reporting that “Fuller House” star Candace Cameron Bure and ABC News correspondent Paula Faris will be joining Behar, Michelle Collins, Raven-Symoné and moderator Whoopi Goldberg for Season 19. Collins and Raven-Symoné joined the panel full-time in June.

Behar, one of the show’s original co-hosts, previously departed “The View” in 2013 after 16 years.

“Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in,” Behar said in a statement. “Plus, Steve was getting tired of applauding every time I gave my opinion. But I’m happy to be back home. And I’m looking forward to sticking my two cents into the hot topics, especially now that Hillary and the Donald are in the spotlight.”

The show also announced a rotating line-up of contributors who will make regular appearances on the show, including Sherri Shepherd, Padma Lakshmi, Stacy London, Ana Navarro and Molly Sims.

Co-hosts Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez departed the show at the end of the last season. Both were added to a revamped co-host panel at the beginning of the season, along with Rosie O’Donnell, who left the show in February, and returning moderator Goldberg.

The new panel will make their debut when the talk show returns from hiatus on Sept. 8.
