From Mail Online
It is one of the hottest gigs in daytime television.
And MailOnline can reveal that producers of The View will surprise audiences next season, when they replace departing hosts Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd with two relative unknowns.
Political commentator Nicolle Wallace and October Gonzalez (wife of NFL star Tony) are expected to join Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell in September.
Wallace, 42, is a novelist and political commentator for MSNBC who has appeared as a guest on The View. The former communications chief to George W. Bush, she will fill its 'conservative' hot seat vacated by Jenny McCarthy. She is the adviser who prepped Sarah Palin during John McCain's presidential run.
She is married and has one son.
Gonzalez and her Atlanta Falcons footballer husband Tony are perhaps best known for their work for PETA. They famously posed naked for a campaign to discourage wearing fur. Priducers were eager to find a Latina to round out the show, according to the source.
ABC had a short list of candidates before the taping of the final show of the season yesterday, which airs today. But they weren't convinced about their choices and decided to shake things up, says the insider.
