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!

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!
