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." |
