Whoopi, Sherri Shepherd Join ‘The View’
Comedians Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd are joining The View next season, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Final negotiations for the comic duo are underway and an official announcement is expected next week. The current View hosts include Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The other strong contender was comedian Kathy Griffin.
Whoppi and Sherri guest co-hosted The View together earlier this month — Monday, July 9.
You can catch Sherri “guest co-host” again this Friday with guests John Travolta and Queen Latifah.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of the new View hosts? Will you tune in?

where is BRANGELINA ????????????????????
Never watch it
The View should be taken off the air. Who the hell cares what any of those mindless twits has to say? I can tolerate Joy and I love Sherri, but Whoopi? PUKE. I hope the show implodes.
Aleezah: I so agree with you re:
Whoopi brings reason and maturity to the show. She does not get hostile. She is well received and liked by OLDER viewers. Whoopi is a standby, she has been in the game for a long time.
============================================
I like Sheri — she’s a hoot. Now, if they could just get rid of Elizabeth. I’m at work naturally, when the show is on, but when I have watched Elizabeth has turned my stomach.
I wish them both well.
Kathy would of been perfect. Jared can you provide some Kathy, maybe provide a clip from her very funny show. Love her …
I like Whoopie but, I still not going to waste time watching the view when I can be doing more creative things instead.
Love Sherri, she’s keeps it real and she’s funny in a non-offensive sort of way. Sometimes I don’t get Whoopi’s humor. I agree that show needs a litte flavor. I really never liked Eliz. her point of views are always off, and sometimes makes no sense at all. Sometimes I wished she would just shut up. I think they should have tired really hard to keep that Asian lady, she is really smart and hard usful, intelligent point of views to offer to the show.
how do you spell BORING!!!
I hope Sherri doesn’t talk about her boobs, husband, and her sex life the entire time - like she normally does.
Whoopi’s extremely boring. Kathy’s controversial comments would keep the ratings up.
I rather they gave the job to Ross The Intern instead of Whoop
They both suck,Kathy was the best choice,they took the safe route-big shock
Love Whoopi!
So both of these gals are democrats right. They really need to balance things out before I will watch.
I love Whoopi! Too bad I can’t get “The View” here (in Germany :/) That sucks!
“So both of these gals are democrats right. ”
Nope. Sherri’s a fundie freak who doesn’t believe in evolution. The fundies are SO 2004.
It’s Barabara’s show, but she is an embarrassment to The View. Barbara is such an old tired, kiss-azz lying I-want-to-be-forever-Young. She should stop apppearing around the table and see if the show can regain some credibility.
I never was a big VIEW viewer, but Rosie put an end to the little bit I did see, and Whoopie & Sherri brought me back. The show is fun, balanced, and without the stress I feel Rosie’s VIEW put on it. I’m quite happy with the news.

Whoopi is no longer a Democrate. She is at this time an independent just like me (until further notice).
I like Whoopi. She is a grown woman who has a lot of knowledge to share. I just hope that she will keep the fun going because she can be very funny when she wants to be.
Sherri is the best choice they could possily make. I have been watching this show for a long time and I loved this woman the first time I saw her on the show.
Sherri isn’t a fake-o and is more laid-back and easy-going. That is the way she is. Sorry if she isn’t controversial enough for your taste. She’s a Christian and she’s fun, but not stupid enough to act like a jerk on national TV. She doesn’t get her panties in a knot.
I don’t want to see constant fighting on the air like some of you. Don’t you get enough fighting and negativity in real life? After Rosie and Elisabeth duked it out, I felt almost nauseated. All those fights just produced a lot of ugly emotions that got them nowhere–just Rosie off the show.
I want to enjoy The View, get a few laughs and feel happier after watching it.
I don’t care who they sign. I am not watching that stupid show until the dumbest person on the teevee, Liz, is off the show. Also, BW would have to die or retire. I’m not watching that lying ***** either.
Now if they’d only get rid of Joyless and Lizzy - the show might have a chance.
I would have been watching everyday just for Kathy.
Not for a sec. I hated the View until Rosie revived it. Now there’s no reason to watch anymore.
just wanted to add - if they had hired kathy griffin - i would have given the show another shot - she’s a riot!
They should have fired joy and hired Sherri and Kathy.
Ho hum.
To the person who keeps mentioning Kathy Griffin:
Not in your wildest dreams.
Kathy has talked a little unfavorably about Barbara in her “act” and when she guest hosted, I could sense a lot of tension between the two of them. Kathy is too vulgar and crazy for Barbara Walters’ taste.
