Elisabeth Hasselbeck to join Fox News morning show

She will replace Gretchen Carlson on 'Fox & Friends' this fall.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck's departure from The View has been expected. Now we know where she is headed: Fox News' morning show, Fox & Friends.

Wednesday will be her last day on The View, according to ABC.

She will replace Gretchen Carlson as co-host on Fox & Friends in mid-September.

"Elisabeth's warm and engaging personality made her a star on The View," Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said in a statement. "She has proven to be an excellent conversationalist and I am certain she will make a great addition to our already successful morning franchise."

Carlson will host her own one-hour daytime series on Fox News.

Before joining The View in November 2003, Hasselbeck was known for competing on the second season of Survivor.

It's where she belongs.....just another faux noise "blond" with an attitude.

I think it will be where Megyn Kelly's show used to be, and Megyn will get a "prime time" show..... Kinda sad I know all this stuff.

So now, she'll have to hold it up all by her lonesome. My Magic 8 Ball says "Prospects Are Not Good".

I predict daily one-hour doses of optically-administered ipecac (not that the other 23 hours are any better).

I wonder if it made the producers (or Elizabeth herself) realize how much people wanted her gone from The View?
