Raven-Symone is set to enjoy The View.
Having already appeared a number of time as a guest panelist, the actress has now been confirmed as an official co-host on the popular ABC talk show.
The 29-year old will permanently be joining Whoopi Goldberg, Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez to discuss Hot Topics every morning for the foreseeable future.
“Raven-Symone is a welcome addition to The View,” said creator and Executive Producer Barbara Walters. “She is happy, amusing and well informed, and has already brought a unique perspective to the program that has resonated with our audience."
The View, of course, has undergone a number of changes over the years.
Most recently, Rosie O’Donnell left (for the second time), while Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd were both let go.
Raven-Symone, meanwhile, has made it clear she is unafraid to speak her mind.
The actress came out as a lesbian in August 2013 and then made headlines in October when she said she did not want to be referred to as African-American.
"The Disney Company has made another one of my dreams come true! Being a part of The View family will be a wonderful growing experience for me,” Raven-Symone said via statement.
“The cast and crew are warm and welcoming and has made the transition into daytime talk easier. I have a lot to learn within this new arena, but being the apprentice of these spectacular women will only make me a better person and talk show host.
"I want to thank ABC, ABC News and The Disney Company for believing in me and my potential! Let’s have some fun!”
