With Barbara Walters gone and Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy announcing their departures, "The View" is undergoing a lot of changes. Here Goldberg and McCarthy are joined by guest co-host S.E. Cupp, Shepherd and guest co-host Sunny Hostin. Here is a look at the ladies of "The View:"
What is old is new again: It was announced in July 2014 that Rosie O'Donnell would be rejoining "The View." She previously co-hosted during the show's 10th season in 2006-07 and got into heated debate with former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Barbara Walters was the doyenne of the show, having started in the beginning in 1997 and often serving as a leader of the passionate panel discussions. She retired in May 2014.
Star Jones became somewhat infamous on "The View" after she reportedly announced she was leaving the show in 2006 without alerting her co-workers first. In 2012 she returned for an appearance that saw things get heated between her and Walters. Jones continues to appear on television, including in a stint on the reality show "The Celebrity Apprentice."
Debbie Matenopoulos started with the show, but never seemed to quite catch on with the audience. In 1999 she was abruptly replaced by Lisa Ling. In April 2014 Matenopoulos announced that she was married and pregnant.
Lisa Ling attended on "The View" from 2009 to 2012. She returned to international reporting and hosted "Our America with Lisa Ling" on the OWN network and "National Geographic Ultimate Explorer." In April 2014 it was announced that Ling would host a documentary series for CNN.
For awhile Joy Behar pulled double duty on both "The View" and as host of "The Joy Behar Show" on HLN. The later was canceled in 2011 and she left "The View" at the end of the 2013 season.
Sherri Shepherd joined the cast in 2007 following the departure of Star Jones. She stirred controversy when she expressed on air that she did not believe in evolution. She announced in 2014 that she would be leaving the show.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck was a lightning rod on "The View" because of her conservative beliefs, which often found her at odds with her fellow co-hosts. After a decade on the show it was announced that she would be leaving to join the talk show "Fox & Friends."
In 2007 Whoopi Goldberg became the show's new moderator. She mixed things up on the panel with her outspoken nature, including a heated debate with conservative pundit Ann Coulter and her defense of ESPN anchor Stephen A. Smith. She has continued to act, most recently in the 2014 reboot "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles."
Jenny McCarthy, we hardly knew ye. The comedic actress joined the show for only one season -- announcing in 2014 that she was leaving along with Sherri Shepherd.
- Perez is a regular on screen and stage
- Wallace was communications director for President George W. Bush
- They join Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg
- Changes at the talk show began after Barbara Walters stepped down
Los Angeles (CNN) -- The reboot of "The View" is now complete, with ABC announcing that actress Rosie Perez and political analyst Nicolle Wallace will be the new panelists.
They will join comedienne Rosie O'Donnell, whose addition was announced earlier, and Whoopi Goldberg, the only one remaining from the last season of the show.
When the show returns September 15, it will boast a complete retool -- a new logo and a new producer and, of course, new hires.
Perez, who first garnered attention with her role in Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing," is a regular on screen and stage.
Wallace was a senior advisor to John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign and communications director for President George W. Bush.
They both served as guest co-hosts last season.
O'Donnell co-hosted "The View" during its 10th season in 2006-07. Her on-air battles with then-co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck -- over issues like the Iraq war, which O'Donnell was vehemently against -- were loud and legendary. Producers are hoping for similar magic with her rejoining.
Changes at the talk show commenced in May, when one of its co-creators and original co-host, Barbara Walters, stepped down.
Along with Walters, two other co-hosts have stepped down -- Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy.
