| Elisabeth Hasselbeck |
After shooting down rumors of her exit from "The
View," Elisabeth Hasselbeck is departing from her seat on the daytime
talker to set up shop over at "Fox & Friends."
Wednesday is her
last day on the long-running gabfest.
According to the LATimes, the departure of Hasselbeck, the
conservative voice of the bunch, signals a changing of the guard on the talk
show -- Joy Behar announced she'd be leaving at the end of the current season,
and Barbara Walters announced she'll be retiring in 2014. It's a musical chairs
more akin to prime-time singing competition shows.
The announcement comes on
the heels of reports that Jenny McCarthy is poised to take up Behar’s spot at
the end of the summer.
In regard to the decampment of Hasselbeck from "The
View," Walters offered this statement: "We have had ten wonderful
years with Elisabeth and she will now be swimming in new waters," said the
TV news veteran and show's creator. "We will miss her and wish her
everything good.”
No word yet on when the search for her replacement will
begin.
