The View is celebrating its 25th season celebration in a big way.
According to People, previous The View hosts Star Jones, Meredith Vieira and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the show’s longest-running co-hosts, are returning to help celebrate the show’s momentous season. Each will return on separate days throughout the season, with Jones coming to the season Feb. 4.
Jones and Vieira made up the show’s original core cast, and Hasselbeck, for better or worse, is the host credited with creating the now hard-to-fill conservative seat for the show.
Currently, that seat has seen a rotation of conservative pundits fill it with varying levels of success.
The Republican commentator who most consistently joins the cast these days is strategist Ana Navarro. Despite being a conservative, she is regularly a “liberal” voice among conservative views and generally agrees with the rest of the liberal-leaning and moderate cast.
As People reports, other hosts have included Meghan McCain, who infamously wrote a book detailing how miserable she ended up as a host. Other hosts include Lisa Ling, Sherri Shepherd, who is currently the most popular guest host for Wendy Williams, Rosie O’Donnell, Jenny McCarthy, Abby Huntsman, Paula Faris, Candace Cameron Bure and Raven-Symoné, who also talked about how she and Cameron Bure felt misled by what the show promised in terms of hosting duties.
