The View table is now complete!
Actress Rosie Perez and MSNBC political analyst Nicolle Wallace were announced as the new co-hosts on Wednesday. They will join Rosie O'Donnell, who appeared on the show from 2006 to 2007, and the only returning host from last season Whoopi Goldberg.
"I am beyond thrilled, honored and completely surprised that I've been asked to join The View," Perez said in a statement. "Knowing that I'll be in the company of Whoopi, Rosie and Nicolle, three very smart and engaging women that I have an immense amount of respect for, makes it even more unbelievable. The opportunity to connect with our nation's audience on a daily basis... icing on the cake! Very happy."

Wallace shared a similar sentiment. "I am honored to join the tradition of compelling conversations that has been the signature of The View for the better part of two decades," she said. "I have watched The View for many years and now to be seated alongside three women that I have admired is both humbling and incredibly exciting."
The two new women join the show following the retirement of Barbara Walters as well as the exit of Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy.
Season 18 of The View premieres on Monday, Sept. 15 at 11 a.m. on ABC.
