Could it be that Whoopi Goldberg will be replacing Rosie O'Donnell on The View? A source told
Star Magazine it looks to be a done deal, "As far as everyone at ABC is concerned, she has the job. They have been meeting with Kathy Griffin, Rosanne Barr, Ricki Lake and Gayle King. While Kathy was a strong contender, Whoopi has won everyone over. Everyone is acting like Whoopi already has the gig. Whoopi has a radio show, she lives in NYC and she is an institution. She also is liberal and outspoken but not crazy like Rosie was. She will be a perfect fit as far as the ladies on The View are concerned. Nothing has been officially announced, But it is 99 percent Whoopi at this point. They will have a few guest hosts throughout the summer but the executives and producers at The View are set on Ms. Goldberg to start in the fall."
Personally I think they are making a mistake because she is way too crass and a live wire, but then again so was Rosie O'Donnell. I think they should try to get someone new as compared to getting someone like Rosie and Star Jones. Especially when the person they are hiring had a failed talk show and a sitcom, to me that would send a red flag that they are making a mistake. But hey that is just my opinion…maybe The View should ask me to tryout…way joking.
