"I am so happy. I remember coming The View for The Cheetah Girls," Raven-Symone said after Whoopi revealed the big news. "I am very happy to be sitting with these smart, talented mentors."

The That's So Raven star then bestowed gifts to her fellow co-hosts: chocolate for Nicolle, bacon for guest co-host Iliza Shlesinger, cake for Rosie and potato chips and watermelon for Whoopi.

"You guys, let's have some fun!" Raven said.

The View
has seen quite the turnover in co-hosts over the past few years, with even Barbara Walters giving up her seat among the women. Rosie O'Donnell was the most recent to leave the program for personal matters.

Prior to that, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd all exitedThe View around the same time, but Whoopi remains!


Do you think
Raven-Symone is right for the show?
