Sara Haines may soon be a permanent fixture on The View. According to Variety, ABC is considering hiring the Good Morning America Weekend anchor as Michelle Collins’ replacement on the morning talk show.
Collins, who joined The View as a co-host last year, is leaving after the current 19th season wraps production.
Haines has appeared on The View as a guest host several times over the past two years. ABC mentioned she was on the “list” for the season 20 cast:
We’re lucky to have terrific and talented guest co-hosts fill in at the table and we include Sara Haines on that list. When we are ready to make to make an announcement about next season, we will.”
Season 20 will also see the likely return of Whoopi Goldberg (whose contract ends this season), Joy Behar, and Paula Faris.
What do you think? Do you like Sara Haines? Would you like to see her co-host The View?
She’s great! Like her a lot. Like Sunny too. But sorry hear that the Know it all Whoopi will be back.
I like the idea of bringing Sara Haines to the table. I also think they should go back to the original format of one co-host from each decade.
