The View, TV’s turmoil show, could be headed for even more controversy just months after Rosie O’Donnell exited.
One of the current hosts of the ABC feature, GOP talker Nicolle Wallace, suggests that there could be a co-host chair for Monica Lewinsky and Sarah Palin.
Talking to People about the show and her new book, Madam President, the former Bush spokeswoman said she’s heard Lewinsky’s name in the mix. “I would love to have her on,” she said.

As for Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, Wallace added, “I would not be surprised to see her there one morning. This process is sort of like a Republican White House – it’s shrouded in secrecy and there are no leaks.”
PEOPLE: Is there anything to the buzz about Monica Lewinsky being considered as a View co-host?
Wallace: I’ve heard her name and I’ve talked about her. I watched her TED talk three times. So I would love to have her on. No idea if she’s on anyone’s radar as a host.

PEOPLE: What about Palin, who was once pretty open about wanting the job?
Wallace: I think I’m all the Republican they can handle right now. I’ve never heard Sarah Palin’s name, but I would not be surprised to see her there one morning. This process is sort of like a Republican White House – it’s shrouded in secrecy and there are no leaks.
