“The View” is adding two new faces to its panel — faces that will be familiar to the show’s viewers.
On Thursday, Aug. 4, moderator Whoopi Goldberg announced that Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin would be joining the show as full-time co-hosts, joining Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Sara Haines for the 26th season.

Griffin, a former communications staffer in the Trump administration, has made frequent appearances on the show in recent months, representing a conservative viewpoint.
“I was trying to come up with a word to describe how I feel about this, and ‘honoured’ is all that comes to mind,” she said after the announcement was made.
