Will Two Sistah's Give The Boring, Post-Rosie ‘View’ Some Much Needed Flava?
Comedians Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd are reportedly the new hosts of "The View."
Of course none of this is definite, with neither ABC nor the show's producers confirming any of these rumblings.
The Los Angeles Times, however, is reporting that Whoopi, who had been tipped for months to fill a “View” seat, will join the show in the fall.
And Sherri Shepherd, the African-American comedian who was present when Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck went held up a few months ago, has also been reportedly offered the job.
The Times says ABC is in final negotiations with the two women who would add more diversity to the all-White panel.Besides a pregnant, soon-to-be-on-leave Hasselbeck, the current “View” hosts also include creator Barbara Walters, and Joy Behar.
The new panelists are expected to be announced publicly next week. ABC however would not comment on the news, telling the Times, “We have nothing to announce right now.”
With Star Jones debuting on Court TV next month, looks like all just might be well with the universe... that is until Rosie's tell-all book is released.
And we'll be right here baby, watching those fireworks!
