Elisabeth Hasselbeck To Exit 'The View' For 'Fox & Friends'

There are new opportunities on the horizon for US TV personality Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who will join Fox News' Fox & Friends after having co-hosted ABC's The View since 2003. Hasselbeck, 36, originally rose to talk show fame after her appearance on Survivor: The Australian Outback where she was one of the finalists. Reported by People magazine, Hasselbeck's co-host Barbara Walters wished luck upon the mother-of-three: "We have had ten wonderful years with Elisabeth and she will now be swimming in new waters. We will miss her and wish her everything good."

Fox & Friends is an early morning talk show that is shown from 6am until 9am daily and digests the morning news followed by interviews or updates from a politically conservative point of view. It has been speculated that Hasselbeck's political views and her strong presenting experience helped cement her move across networks.

Hasselbeck's last day as The View co-host is today (10th July) and she will join Fox & Friends in mid-September.
