Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace have officially joined moderator Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O’Donnell on the upcoming 18th season of “The View.”
The two women join returning co-host Rosie O’Donnell and Season 17’s sole-surviving moderator Whoopi Goldberg, taking over the seats vacated by Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy in early August.
While McCarthy and Shepherd’s departures were confirmed in June, ABC refused to speculate about potential replacements. However, TheWrap learned the network actually tested a shortlist of replacement candidates in August. Wallace was among those women who tested with the network, but Perez was not.
