ABC executives are finalizing a plan to reboot The View next fall, for the second consecutive year, with a flurry of changes that could include the departure of at least one of its regular hosts, Variety has learned.
While moderator Whoopi Goldberg will remain as the face of the struggling daytime talker, the future of two of her co-hosts, Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez, is in doubt. One or both women could be dropped because network execs are underwhelmed with their contributions to the shows signature Hot Topics segment, which is expected to shift focus permanently toward more lighthearted celebrity fluff.
The changes come as instability behind-the-scenes at the show continues, say insiders, which probably isnt what Disney/ABC Television Group president Ben Sherwood was hoping for when he shifted oversight of the program from ABCs daytime division to its ABC News unit as part of a previous reboot effort that brought in Wallace and Perez last September.
A spokeswoman for ABC News declined comment. Reps for both Wallace and Perez did not respond to inquiries for comment.

I hope Sarah Palin is smiling tonight.
Oh yeah I will watch now. /s
How about they just cut the view? Not that I’d ever see it outside of the doctors office. :>}
ABC, more circuses, less bread.
They could always hire the Tidy Bowl Man. He has experience at their job!
only Liberals will hire Nicholle Wallace. That includes Republicans.
This woman is soo untrustworthy after what she did to Sarah Palin.
Perez needs to keep her mouth shut and make me a samich
I try to stay informed but I have no idea who any of these people are.
NO
NO
NO
My Poor Cousin Won't Know What To Think Without It!
Right there is the problem.
What ABC should do is get four stool samples and prop it up on chairs, that would get more viewers than those cackling hens
What exactly has she been successful at on her own? She was a failed campaign manager and may have the shortest stint ever recorded for a View co-host.
Thanks. I remember her. I didn’t know she was on the View.
LOL! Hopefully it’s merely background noise at the Dr. office but just on the chance that some of their screed is getting through to the staff——————Lord help us.
You’re not missing anything.
Since it doesn’t look like Palin is going to run for president, there’s no point keeping nicole around. Nicole was hired in the first place to say negative things about Palin
Perez’s voice is like nails on a blackboard.
“While moderator Whoopi Goldberg will remain as the face of the struggling daytime talker...”
Based on my thirty seconds of viewing that show per year, I think that part of the problem is Whoopi Goldberg. How can anyone....?
