Elisabeth Hasselbeck made an emotional exit from ABC's long-running talk show The View this morning. The host walked on to the set arm-in-arm with an emotional Barbara Walters, who told the live audience, "I'm a little verklempt." Check out the tearful good-bye below!

Hasselbeck confirmed the news that she would be joining the FOX & Friends team beginning this September and went on to thank the cast, crew, security, sound, makeup and "everyone behind the scenes." She singled out executive producer Bill Geddie who she noted, "challenged me every single day to be my best" and made her "never be fearful of voicing my opinion here."

To her co-host Barbara Walters, the former reality star said, "I feel more than prepared at this point because of all you've given me... to more forward. I've worked with the best in the business... You are the best there is."

Walters, who credited Hasselbeck with being, "a big part of the show's success," also announced that the exiting co-host's spot would not be filled in the immediate future, explaining there would be "plenty of guest co-hosts." But she quickly cautioned viewers, "Don't send us any tapes or resumes, please!"
