The View season 27 complete host list revealed

Created by Barbara Walters, The View is one of the most popular American talk shows in recent history. The show has been on ABC's daytime programming block since August 11, 1997. It features a panel of females from different generations who talk about trending topics, sociopolitical news, and entertainment news.

The panel even conducts interviews with celebrities and famous personalities. Episodes were initially produced at ABC Television Studio 23 in New York City; however, in 2014, they were relocated to ABC Broadcast Center. Traditionally, the panel always has six members, but fans noticed that they kept changing when it was time for a new season.

However, this time, something rare has happened, as season 27 will feature the same six hosts who took charge in season 26.

In a recent interview with Variety, executive producer Brian Teta said:

"I’m really proud that ‘The View’ is having this moment 26 years into its run. The show is more relevant than ever and it’s a credit to visionaries Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie and the concept they created."

He continued:

"Television audiences have changed drastically since the show began in 1997. You have to be ‘can’t miss television’ to break through, and ‘The View’ is always at its best when it’s a reflection of the conversations our viewers are having at home. This combination of co-hosts is very special. They are having fun at the table, but they also are talking about important issues, reacting to breaking news in real time and having tough conversations."

He ended his statement by saying:

"They have terrific chemistry, and everyone in our audience can find a perspective to connect with. Now we are heading into a presidential election cycle, when ‘The View’ is historically at its strongest, and I’m very excited for what’s to come in season 27."

Season 26 of the show received 2.375 million total viewers. Earlier this year, co-creator Bill Geddie and longtime producer Barbara Walters passed away.
