The search is over. "The View" has brought aboard Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace to complete the panel of ladies on the ABC daytime talk show, according to Deadline.
Perez and Wallace join veteran Whoopi Goldberg and returning co-host Rosie O'Donnell on the show created by Barbara Walters in 1997. They replace Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy, who were both let go at the end of last season.
The Oscar-nominated Perez remained off the radar for much of the search, but she did guest host an episode in February. "The View" announcement comes one day after the Brooklyn native joined the cast of Larry David's new Broadway play "Fish in the Dark." She will juggle both roles when the play starts previews at the Cort Theater on Feb. 2, 2015, with opening night scheduled for March 5.
Political commentator Wallace served as George W. Bush's communications director during the 2004 election. The president then named her White House Communications Director at the start of his second term.
