Axed from daytime! Michelle Collins 'gets the boot after only one season as co-host on The View'

Michelle Collins has become a household name over the past year thanks to her co-hosting duties on The View.

But after only one season on the daytime talk show, ABC executives have made the decision not to renew the comedian's contract, according to Variety who broke the news on Friday.

Not long after the quick-witted 34-year-old joined the panel full-time last July, rumors began to swirl regarding how long her stint would last.

In December, Daily Mail Online exclusively reported that the network was quietly planning to revamp the cast yet again in January after returning from its winter hiatus.

However, ABC isn't yet admitting to the host shake-up that would affect Season 20 when the show returns in September. 

A network spokesperson told Variety, 'Michelle is smart, opinionated and funny.'

The representative continued, 'She’s been a great addition to the panel this year. When we are ready to make an announcement about next season, we will.' 

Michelle joined the ABC round-table after a lengthy trial period last summer, once the fresh face impressed higher-ups with her impromptu commentary.

But according to Variety's sources, ABC executives have not liked Michelle sidetracking the Hot Topics debates with her personal asides. 

In addition, the publication sited that during an election year, political savvy is more important than Michelle's areas of expertise which are in pop culture, social media and The Bachelor -- the TV personality is a contributor on The Bachelor Live.  

Lately, Michelle is rarely seen on the round-table, as ABC News has reduced her to one appearance a week. 

While Michelle, who moved to New York City from Los Angeles for the gig, is currently on vacation in Europe, Variety reports that she is expected to stay on the panel through the end of the summer.

On June 15, she is set to perform her stand-up act Magic Mich XXL in NYC. 

The View will air new shows through August 5 and then break for its summer hiatus. 

In recent seasons, the struggling morning program has undergone multiple talent changes. Departures included Rosie O’Donnell, Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez, as well as Barbara Walters who retired in 2014. 

Despite rumors of Whoopi Goldberg leaving The View, the moderator of the long-running ABC talk show has signed a new contract to return for Season 20, Daily Mail Online can reveal.

Whoopi, who's four-year $5 million-a-year contract ended this year, has signed a new one-season deal with the Disney-owned network to return for $2.5 million, half of her previous salary.

A source close to the show tells Daily Mail Online that the current plan is to have the 60-year-old comedian remain on her four-day work schedule, leaving the live Friday broadcasts for original The View co-host Joy Behar to continue moderating. 

Meanwhile, Candace Cameron-Bure is returning to the Full House reboot for Netflix, Fuller House, for season two and is unavailable for the first three months of the show.

The New York Daily News reported that the 40-year-old conservative Christian also hates commuting between New York City where the show is live and Los Angeles where her family still lives.

'She hates the commute and being away from the family. Between Fuller House and those Hallmark Channel movies she does, she'd rather focus on being an actress,' offered the source.

Lastly, Raven Symone, 30, has been one of the most controversial hosts of The View in the show's history.

Fans have heavily criticized the former child star's uninformed opinions on the talk show and her constant reminder that she's 'not good with her words'.

Viewers of the show even started a petition to have her removed from the panel, which has 139,463 signatures to date.
