THE 
July 27, 2007 Finding The Next Co-Host Of The View
Word on the street is that the producers of The View have narrowed down their search for the next co-host to two comedians and are set to make a very special announcement really soon. Up for the running are:
Update: Yahoo news now reports that Sherri Shpeherd and Whoopi Goldberg are in final negotiations with ABC to join the ladies of The View. I must say that I’m shocked their gonna put two Black women on the show, and comedians at that. With three comedians at the table it’s gonna be more like Def Comedy Jam than a daytime talkshow! I’m looking forward to it. Bring back the spice!
Sherri Shepherd
Stats: 40yo comedienne, married, 1 child
Best Known For: Her guest roles on Less Than Perfect and Everybody Loves Raymond
Pros: If you squint she looks like Star Jones two-years ago. On a more serious note, she’s got an easy-going lovable personality. Her cleavage!
Cons: She’s not as experienced as some of the other contenders and may get overwhelmed by the other lively ladies.
.
Whoopi Goldberg
Stats: 51yo comedienne, divorced, 1 child
Best Known For: Her Oscar, Golden-Globe, and Emmy-winning performances (The Color Purple, Ghost).
Pros: She doesn’t really need the job so she’s more inclined to really give her “view” before she bends down to kiss Barbara’s ass.
Cons: She won’t kiss Barbara’s ass and she’ll likely come with a hefty paycheck!
Do you like the new selections?

Sherri Shepherd is funny, genuine, and more relatable to the viewers at home.

Rosie made it hot! If she and that Hasslebeck girl fought, they could do the show in pay-per-View style. I would definetly pay to see that.

I hate Sherri and I’m very disappointed she’s even being considered. She’s NOT funny AND half the time when she’s up there she offers NOTHING to the conversations.
But I’m ALLLLL about Whoopi

Absolutely! Its about time that they picked a “Star & Rosie” permanent replacement. I will be watching cuz I love me some “Whoopie”!

I don’t like either one of them. I’ve been a loyal watcher since the inception of The View, and it’s gone downhill since Star Jones started losing her weight and got married. I don’t watch it near as much as I used to. The only way I would start watching it again is if they got someone on there with some class like Gayle King. I don’t think they need more than one comedian and Joy fits the bill perfectly. I also think maybe a man would be a good choice for the second replacement.
