Raven Symone in Talks to Join ‘The View’ as Co-Host
Raven Symone and Michelle Collins, who are already frequent guest co-hosts on "The View," will reportedly be getting a more permanent position on the co-hosting panel, according to E! News.
E! News reports that Symone and Collins have been frequent guest co-hosts on the show, appearing more than a dozen times each since March.
Over the course of their guest co-hosting stint, ABC producers have developed a strong liking for both women and are currently planning to offer the two women a full time position alongside veteran "The View" host Whoopi Goldberg and newcomers Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace.
Though ABC has yet to officially confirm Symone and Collins' full-time position on the show, Whoopi recently alluded to the ladies' more permanent position during a live on-air taping of "The View," says E! News.
"We love saying it, but Raven and Michelle will be back tomorrow," Goldberg said. "We're trying to make it permanent, so write in to everybody."

And while ABC producers are impressed with both women, Us Weekly reports that producers are particularly fond of Symone who has shown great work ethic throughout the duration of her guest co-hosting stint.
"They think she's really smart but also a little kooky and so she'd be a good fit," an Us Weekly source said. "Every night she studies all the current events and topics for the next day. Everyone is blown away. Nobody else prepares like she does!"
Previous co-hosts of "The View" include Rosie O'Donnell who left earlier this season after attempting to make a comeback following her first exit from the show in 2013.
Additional past co-hosts include Jenny McCarthy, Sherri Shepherd, Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Joy Behar.
