Whoopi to Replace Rosie on The View?

Whoopi Goldberg will be Rosie O'Donnell's replacement on The View this Fall, a source close to the show have told Star Magazine. The magazine says their source claims it's 99% confirmed.

"As far as everyone at ABC is concerned, she has the job,” a network insider confirms to Star. “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," the show insider adds.

"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," says the insider. "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."
