Fish in the Dark's Rosie Perez May Depart The View

Rosie Perez has exited The View. According to Variety, the stage and screen star, currently on hiatus to work on Larry David’s first play Fish in the Dark, will not be returning to the morning show. A View spokesperson denied that the stage and screen star would be leaving; the show’s ratings are steady compared to last year's but are down in the key demographics.

Perez received an Oscar nod for her performance in Fearless. Her Broadway credits include The Ritz, Reckless, The Play What I Wrote and Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune. Fish in the Dark will begin previews at Broadway's Cort Theatre on February 2.

The View is broadcast on ABC and is currently hosted by Tony winner Rosie O’Donnell in her return to the show, along with long-time friend to Broadway Whoopi Goldberg and MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.
