The View Could Very Likely Hire a Politically-Minded Woman of Color

Latest

If you’ve been watching The View lately, you’ve seen a lot of new faces. Eventually, one of those faces will be permanent (for awhile, anyway). And what the producers are looking for appears to actually be what it’s been rumored they’re looking for: a woman of color who may or may not be a conservative but is politically involved.

BuzzFeed’s Dorsey Shaw spoke to someone who watched some test segments of the show and saw the following people join The View’s table. (His list also matches one reported by ET.) The list is notable for a few reasons: a number of the woman on it are either black or hispanic, several of them are republicans and most of them have a background in cable news or sports television. This talent pool matches up with Wednesday’s report that View executive producer and co-creator Bill Geddes is being replaced with another Bill: Bill Wolff, the EP of The Rachel Maddow Show.
