ABC

It’s been speculated about for awhile and the woman herself even announced that talks were dead, but Joy Behar has finally been confirmed as the newest co-host on The View, cementing her return to the flailing flagship morning show.

Behar and ABC were said to be in turbulent negotiations for a good couple of months and the deal was even considered to be dead in the water at some points, but ABC, desperate to secure a successful member of the team back, are said to have practically caved to Behar’s demands.

Behar will be joined by Raven Symone, Whoopi Goldberg, Michelle Collins and other new additions Paula Farris and Candance Cameron Bure.
