The former The Cosby Show star has appeared on the series as a guest-host 37 times since former co-host Rosie O’Donnell announced her departure from The View in early February after splitting from her wife.

“Raven-Symoné is a welcome addition to The View. She is happy, amusing and well informed, and has already brought a unique perspective to the program that has resonated with our audience,” creator and executive producer, Barbara Walters, said in an official statement released by ABC.
