As OK! previously reported, a source told Politico that current panelists Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar are sick of the constant revolving door of guest hosts. The trio allegedly made it clear to producer Brian Teta that it's time to lock down a permanent GOP minded replacement.

Conservative personalities like Condoleezza Rice, Carly Fiorina, Gretchen Carlson, S.E Cupp, and Alyssa Farah have all had opportunities to vie with the four other democratic panelists. Yet none have made the significant impact producers are looking for.

The show — which will return with all new episodes on January 3, — was hoping to bring on young libertarian Kat Timpf but she passed due to The View's reputation of mistreatment of conservative hosts as well as her contract with Fox News.
