People

Faris, who joined The View in 2014 and GMA's weekend edition as co-anchor a year later, is exiting both jobs next month for a new ABC News role focused on reporting and breaking news. Faris said her decision to leave was due to personal and professional reasons. “I’m excited to get my life back,” she says, noting that she has three young kids. "Working at GMA Weekend and The View has been awesome, but I’m so excited to not go to bed at 8:30 or 9 p.m. on a Friday or Saturday night because my alarm would go off for work at 3:30 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday morning.”
