Margaret Cho is officially a member of the “Fashion Police,” Variety reports.
The actress and comedian is set to join E!’s fashion talk show when it returns in 2016. Cho had previously appeared on the show as a celebrity guest.
The “Fashion Police” panel is now complete with Giuliana Rancic, Brad Goreski and Melissa Rivers returning to take on their co-hosting duties.
Rancic tweeted her excitement about the news on Thursday afternoon.
“Welcome to the family @margaretcho!!!” she wrote.

Cho’s addition comes after a rocky year for the show. In February, Kelly Osbourne decided to leave the program amidst controversy surrounding Rancic’s offensive remarks about Zendaya’s hair.
“Kelly Osbourne is departing E!s ‘Fashion Police’ to pursue other opportunities, and we would like to thank her for her many contributions to the series over the past five years, during which time the show became a hit with viewers,” E! said in a statement.
Then, in March, Kathy Griffin (who joined following the death of Joan Rivers) exited the show saying that her style of comedy didn’t “fit with the creative direction.”
“Fashion Police” will continue to feature a new celebrity guest each episode, as it had implemented following Osbourne and Griffin’s departures.
The show returns on Jan. 11 with Golden Globes coverage.
