‘The View’ finally gets a new permanent conservative co-host: Pay attention!

nypost.com:

self-proclaimed “mountain mama” Meghan McCain after her “miserable” and abrupt exit last summer.A bevy of right-sided guest hosts have been cycling through on-air audtions for the top spot — and an insider has revealed those repeat tryouts are the ones to watch out for when it comes to the permanent gig. “You are starting to see familiar faces over and over,” the source told The Post. “I would expect an announcement before the season ends on August 5.”The source added: “If you watch the show, you can see people who are coming back regularly to join the co-hosts at the table.

It is an invaluable experience for the show. And it was always the plan to make sure they had a seat at the table.”In other words — the informed guessing game is on, so pay attention!The most frequent repeat guest co-hosts include Alyssa Farrah Griffin, the 33-year-old former communications director for President Donald Trump, and former GOP communications director Tara Setmayer, 46.

Both are being considered for the permanent seat — with some sources hinting that Farrah is likely to be the frontrunner.Note: In the two long, long-winded months since McCain’s exit, Griffin has been a mainstay every month — and even made an extended appearance in June.

No other guest host racked up that tally this season.Just saying. A rep for ABC has not responded to The Post’s request for comment.
