The View is officially welcoming a new host as Raven-Symoné joins the series full-time.
The Empire actress was formally announced as the replacement for the recently-departed Rosie O'Donnell on today's (June 10) View instalment.
Raven-Symoné has been a regular contributor to the ABC daytime series over the last few months, along with journalist Brooke Anderson.
A revamped line-up featuring O'Donnell, Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace debuted on The View last fall, but only lasted a few months.
O'Donnell quit the series for the second time on February 12, citing health concerns and her recent split from wife Michelle Rounds.
"[My health] got a little bit worse right before the holidays - [my doctor] was kind of concerned," O'Donnell revealed at the time. "I can't really fix [my personal life] right away, but I can fix [my job].
