Elisabeth Hasselbeck Taking Her View To Fox News

Elisabeth Hasselbeck
After shooting down rumors of her exit from "The View,"  Elisabeth Hasselbeck is departing from her seat on the daytime talker to set up shop over at "Fox & Friends." 

Wednesday is her last day on the long-running gabfest.

According to the LATimes, the departure of Hasselbeck, the conservative voice of the bunch, signals a changing of the guard on the talk show -- Joy Behar announced she'd be leaving at the end of the current season, and Barbara Walters announced she'll be retiring in 2014. It's a musical chairs more akin to prime-time singing competition shows. 

The announcement comes on the heels of reports that Jenny McCarthy is poised to take up Behar’s spot at the end of the summer.

In regard to the decampment of Hasselbeck from "The View," Walters offered this statement: "We have had ten wonderful years with Elisabeth and she will now be swimming in new waters," said the TV news veteran and show's creator. "We will miss her and wish her everything good.”

No word yet on when the search for her replacement will begin.
