It’s official! There will be a new co-host on The View, come September. And that person is…..Jenny McCarthy!
Barbara Walters stated, “Jenny brings us intelligence as well as warmth and humor. She can be serious and outrageous. She has connected with our audience and offers a fresh point of view. Jenny will be a great addition to the show as we usher in an exciting new chapter for ‘The View.'” Jenny herself blogged that she would be replacing Joy Behar. Said McCarthy about the new position,””I’m beyond thrilled to be joining Barbara and the other amazing women at the table. I look forward to helping make hot topics a little bit hotter, and showing my mom that my interrupting skills have finally paid off.”
JMc has appeared on the syndicated daytime talk show 17 times and guest hosted eight times. Fresh blood will be a good thing as Walters, Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck will all have left the chat table by the end of this summer. Plus, I think she is likeable and pretty damn funny. Do you agree?
