In somewhat surprising news, Elisabeth Hasselbeck will no longer be the co-host of Mornings with Tim and Elisabeth. Hasselbeck has co-hosted the series with fashion guru Tim Gunn for 4 seasons, but as her contract expired the network would not give her a raise and therefore the network and Hasselbeck came to a decision that it would be in her best interest to leave the show.
Hasselbeck was not allowed to talk politics on the show, and instead showed a more fun side discussing fashion, celebrities and family. Hasselbeck will likely get her own cable show.
The network explored many possibilities including The Hollywood Report's Nancy O'Dell, Jules Asner, and Alison Sweeny, but finally decided on actress and comedian Aisha Tyler. Tyler will take over hosting duties from Hasselbeck this August after the show returns from a 3 week break. Tyler starred succesfully for 3 seasons in the EBN sitcom America's Sweetheart based on the movie You've Got Mail, and is now starring on MSTV's comedy pilot Writer's Block.
The show will now be titled Mornings with Tim and Aisha
