After Barbara Walters and Joy Behar confirmed they would be leaving ABC’s The View, there was a lot of speculation on whether Elisabeth Hasselbeck would do the same. As it turns out, she will: she’s just confirmed she’s moving to Fox News.

Today is her last day on The View, and she will soon (in September, to be more exact) start working on the morning show Fox & Friends.

“Elisabeth’s warm and engaging personality made her a star on The View. She has proven to be an excellent conversationalist and I am certain she will make a great addition to our already successful morning franchise,” FOX News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes tells Page Six.

“I have been a long-time fan of Fox & Friends and am excited to be joining their team in September,” Elisabeth says.

No replacements have yet been announced for The View.
