The singer/songwriter/producer made her View debut following the American Idol finale last May. The appearance will be the first time Kara has co-hosted the show.
Kate Gosselin and Kathy Griffin both brought humor to The View on Friday, as the controversial reality mom praised the Emmy-winning comedienne’s recent parody of her during an appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live last Wednesday.

“I’m thrilled to be mixing it up with the women again. I’m hoping that some serious debate ensues,” said Lisa in a statement issued by The View this afternoon.
Lisa left The View in 2002 after three years as a regular to serve as a correspondent for The Oprah Winfrey Show and CNN. Lisa found herself at the center of her own headline-making horror story after her sister, reporter Laura Ling, was sentenced to 12 years “hard labor” in a North Korean prison earlier this year. Laura and her colleague Euna Lee were released and returned to the U.S. Aug. 5.
