ABC today confirmed that Whoopi Goldberg is the newest co-host on its morning talk show The View, and she will be taking the position vacated by Rosie O’Donnell in May shortly after her spat with The Apprentice’s Donald Trump.
Whoopi, having already co-hosted the show 14 times before, will join Joy Behar, Survivor’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck, show creator Barbara Walters, and a another yet unnamed co-host in September.
“I love this show,” the 51-year-old comedian said after being introduced by Walters. “This is such a big old thrill for me.”
An additional co-host will be announced in the fall.
I personally do not like Whoopi, especially for The View. Let’s see how the rest of America Thinks.

I personally think Whoopi is a perfect addition to the show!
