Comedian Michelle Collins to join 'The View,' replacing Rosie Perez

Comedian Michelle Collins will slide into Rosie Perez's soon-to-be vacated seat on "The View."

Amid falling confetti and much fanfare, the writer/comedian, who will be the 15th cohost of ABC's daytime talker, shared the news live on Monday's episode.

The recent contributor is set to start her new gig in September, with a few guest appearances slated for the summer ahead of her debut. "The View" is set to go on hiatus in August.

"These past few months have been the most fun and exciting of my career, and I couldn't be happier to join such an awesome, smart, accomplished and funny group of women," the 34-year-old said in a statement.
