One year after the conservative personality Meghan McCain departed The View, the long-running ABC talk show has hired two new permanent cohosts to fill her vacant chair: Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin.

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg made the announcement on air at the end of Thursday's broadcast, with Griffin stepping out to join the Oscar-winning actress at the table next to Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Sara Haines. She and Navarro will sit full-time on the panel for season 26 when it premieres in September.
