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?

You are absolutely correct. Whose views are the rest expressing? Not their own, I guess.

Yayyyyy! Both are excellent choices to be added to the View’s roster! I am WAY excited. I was afraid they wouldn’t hire Sherri because they hired Whoopie. I am sooo jazzed that Sherri’s been hired too. She ROCKS!!!

Whoopi used to be my favorite funny actress, but it’s been a disappointment to see her on The View. She constantly talks about not showering, not wanting anyone to phone her, seldom smiles much less laughs. She acts like she’s Sherri’s guardian, and that Sherri needs her approval for everything. Sherri is very funny, clever, honest, sharing, caring and wonderful all around person. Whoopi constantly looks at her with disapproval. Sherri does a better job than what Whoopi does. Whoopi is boring, does not dress professional and doesn’t contribute much to the show. All the other hosts contribute a lot and do excellent, but Whoopi is selfish, egotistical, and the show could do without her. Sherri should be the leader host. I don’t like the way Whoopi tries to control Sherri. She should look at her own baggage before trying to teach Sherri anything. Sherri is a loving, sensitive, hardworking and conscientious individual. She adds a lot to the show. Get rid of Whoopi. She’s a deadbeat. She’s not a fair person. She’s too set in her ways. I’m surprised at what a funny actress Whoopi is, because in real life she quite the opposite. Barbara, wake up and smell the roses. Don’t let Whoopi control Sherri like she owns her. Sherri is losing her spirit because of her.

Does anyone think that Whoopi talks ugly or rudely to Sherri?
