After months of guest hosting, Michelle Collins is officially joining The View.

ET has learned from a source that the 33-year-old comedian will be joining Whoopi Goldberg, Nicolle Wallace, and the show's newest addition, Raven-Symone, who was added to the permanent rotation on Jun. 10. The news comes one day after Rosie Perez confirmed she was stepping down as co-host to focus on acting.

The View has made a number of big changes over the past few seasons. In a shakeup, Elisabeth Hasselback left in 2013, while Barbara Walters, Jenny McCarthy, and Sherri Shepherd exited the show the following year. Rosie O'Donnell returned to the show last fall, but made her final exit on Feb. 12.
