Season 19 of *The View* marked a significant shift for the show, as Rosie O'Donnell, Nicole Wallace, and Rosie Perez departed after their first season. To refresh the panel, the network welcomed comedian Michelle Collins and actress Candace Cameron Bure, alongside a familiar face: original panelist Joy Behar, returning after a two-season hiatus. Adding to the dynamic mix, former ABC News correspondent Paula Faris joined as a recurring weekly co-host.
