Behar, a co-host from seasons one through 16, said in a statement that she’s happy to be “back home.” “And I’m looking forward to sticking my two cents into the hot topics, especially now that Hillary and the Donald are in the spotlight,” she said, referring to presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Donald Trump.

In addition to the burgeoning roster, the show will feature “contributors,” including: food expert Padma Lakshmi; style expert Stacy London; Republicant strategist Ana Navarro; former “View” co-host Sherri Shepherd; and beauty/fashion expert/actress Molly Sims.
