Elisabeth Hasselbeck Leaving The View To Co-Host Fox & Friends
Mediaite ^ | July 9,2013 | Josh Feldman

View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is making the jump from network to cable, with the announcement today that she will be leaving ABC’s The View to co-host Fox & Friends.

In Fox’s press release, Hasselbeck says, “I have been a long-time fan of Fox & Friends and am excited to be joining their team in September as it is an honor to call the FOX News Channel my new television home.”

The press release also includes Ailes welcoming Hasselbeck and praising her for her “warm and engaging personality,” and a statement from Barbara Walters saying, “We will miss her and wish her everything good.”

There were rumors back in March that Hasselbeck would be leaving The View this year. Walters denied that Hasselbeck was being pushed out for her conservative views, or at all, for that matter, only to be rebutted by a report a week later saying that Hasselbeck is “toast.” Another rumor sprung up that CNN head Jeff Zucker was interested in bringing Hasselbeck on CNN right after leaving ABC. Hasselbeck will officially start on the couch with Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade in mid-September.

Meanwhile, current Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson will be leaving the morning show to anchor her own daytime program, debuting sometime this fall.

Good. Gretchen Carlson now can conceal under an anchor desk the inappropriately short & tight skirts she wears on her middle age frame.

Does anyone suggest a replacement on the View? Or do you just let the show go 100% left and sink itself?

Wow, now I do feel like a dirty old man as I always thought Gretchen looked just fine in those short skirts!

Her middle-aged frame looks fine to me. Real legs, not pipe cleaners.

At last she is going to escape those vulgar harpies. I have liked her since The Look for Less.
