By Movieguide® Contributor
THE VIEW announced that Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro will be joining the talk show’s panel in the upcoming 26th season.
Both Farah Griffin and Navarro have appeared on the show before, adding a Conservative voice to the show’s panel of hosts.
“I couldn’t be more honored and thrilled to join the ladies of THE VIEW,” Farah Griffin said. “The show paved the way for women speaking up and speaking out on TV.”
She continued, “At a time when our country is so divided, often on partisan lines, I’m honored to represent the conservative perspective. I hope to model what is too often lost by our elected leaders; learning from others, disagreeing respectfully, and focusing on finding real solutions for our country.”
Navarro is equally excited to join THE VIEW, saying, “THE VIEW is an institution and incomparable platform for women of different backgrounds to share their opinions and insights.”
“I love being on the show,” she continued. “Thank you to ABC NEWS, THE VIEW family, and our loyal viewers for their continued support.”
Movieguide® previously reported on who might join THE VIEW for the upcoming season:
According to network insiders, Alyssa Farah Griffin could replace Meghan McCain on THE VIEW.
Griffin, who served as a White House director of strategic communications in the Trump administration, previously appeared on the talk show as a repeat guest-host.
A spokesperson for ABC News said, “We do not have a co-host announcement to make at this time. Stay tuned.”
Sources familiar with the decision say Griffin and Lincoln Project adviser Tara Setmayer are the two finalists for the open chair on THE VIEW.
Griffin is the daughter of Joseph Farah, who founded the conservative Christian website WorldNetDaily. She previously worked in the U.S. House of Representatives as a full-time staffer in 2014, before becoming the communications director. Additionally, she served as Press Secretary to Vice President Mike Pence and Special Assistant to President Donald J. Trump.
“She served as a senior advisor on all matters related to press, communications, and the media on domestic and international affairs for the Vice President,” according to her Department of Defense bio page.
ABC has been looking for a conservative commentator for THE VIEW since McCain’s departure last year.
