“The View” is adding two new co-hosts: former Trump staffer, Alyssa Farah Griffin, as well as longtime contributor to the show, Ana Navarro, who Variety has learned has signed a multi-year deal as a permanent co-host, though she won’t appear every day on the show.
Both women are Republicans and will add conservative commentary to the daytime talk show, though their political brands are vastly different, despite their same party affiliation.
Navarro and Farah Griffin will join moderator Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines, resulting in six co-hosts for Season 26.
Navarro — a fan-favorite on “The View” who identifies as a Republican, but is a staunch critic of former President Donald Trump — has appeared as a weekly guest host on the show, but never officially had a permanent spot at the Hot Topics table until now.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former Trump White House director of strategic communications, is in final talks to join “The View” as the new conservative co-host of the daytime talk show, Variety has learned.

Meghan McCain served as the conservative co-host of “The View” from 2017 through 2021, bringing a rating surge as she got into heated debates with the other co-hosts during the Trump era.

Mean Girls goes 8-bit, Michael Egan dismisses second sexual assault suit, Utah and Indian prepare to appeal marriage equality rulings
As the rumored release of his second album nears, Frank Ocean has reportedly fired his whole team, dropping managers and publicists, all of whom have worked with the Odd Future collective for years. I always thought he could use a little distance from all the homophobic crap that comes from that group.
There was quite a bit of confusion on Twitter yesterday among gay activists as the Human Rights Campaign endorsed Maine Senator Susan Collins for reelection. Collins has been coy for years about her support for marriage equality, despite her support of Enda and repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. But in the evening she released a statement to a Maine newspaper that made her the fourth Republican in Congress to endorse marriage equality.
Chris Brown has rejected...
