Double-y Boring View Replacements

E_WhoopiGoldberg_136.jpgNaturally, ABC isn't admitting anything just yet, but the L.A. Times is reporting that Rosie O'Donnell's replacement on The View -- or should I say two replacements -- have been chosen. And they are... (drum roll, please)

Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd!!!!

E_SherriShepherd_136.jpgCrickets, anyone? Could they have picked two more boring people to bring on the show? You know things are bad when suddenly Kathy Griffin seems like a really good idea. ABC is expected to make the official announcement sometime next week.

What do you think of Whoopi and Sherri? Do you disagree with me and think they're a great fit for The View? Or are you as bored to tears as me?

Whoopi goldberg would be the greatest happening on that (now) boring show, the view. She will give it life and bring it back from the DEAD!

What bothers you most? said:

Is it the fact that they are strong african ammerican women? Whoopi is a great addition. Sorry they couldnt find some more boring white women.. maybe next time.

I really like Whoopi and think she will be wonderful. I think Sherri Shepard is very smart and extremely funny, but we already have Joy who I like. I wish they had not picked 2 people that always want to go for the joke.

The two choices are ANYTHING but boring! R U on speed or something? I agree Joy is the jokes person on the show, but then Rosie was a Comedian too! I miss Meredith, she was perfect!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Whoopi will be boring. But Sherri Shepard was pretty funny when she was on last year, so I'm glad she was picked!

Jen said:

Whoopi is terribly boring. I like Sherri. She's at least more honest and comical. Whoopi is just too old and she thinks her jokes are funny and waits for the laughs to slowly roll in after guiding the audience to do so. BORING!

Anna Chance said:

I am happy for both of them, especially Sherri Shepherd. I think it will be a great fit.

OMG did you not watch Whoopi's short-lived sitcom?? It was rife with political satire! I think she will rile everyone up. esp. Elizabeth - I may start DVRing this show!

Shelster said:

OMGAW did you NOT see Whoopi's short-lived sitcom??? It was rife with political satire!! She is anahilate Elizabeth. She despises Bush!

I would love to see either of these ladies on The View, but I tend to lean toward Sherri Shepard.

geo said:


Whoopi is a BORE!

I like Sherri Shepard though. They should hire her and then different guest hosts.

Giving Props Where They Are Due said:

Thank you What Bothers You Most? I amazes me that haters come out of the woodwork when not one but two african americans are given the opportunity to showcase their talents. Who cares if a handful of people think Whoopi is boring, if you don't like it turn to another channel. Also, I think the producers of The View have learned their lessons and will hire hostess' that are compatible with everyone. Rosie O'Donnell is an idiot, she would p*** off a nun, so saying Whoopi would ruffle feathers may not be completely true. I say just wait and see...........

I think Whoopi and Sherry would be great on "The View". I just hope Elisabeth doesn't point her finger at them like she did with Rosie. Elisabeth is very rude and should be replaced next. Wasn't she taught never to point your finger at anyone!! Rude just rude.

I like both of them, they are both funny. I do think Kathy would've been a great addition, maybe when Elisabeth goes on a permenant maternity leave, oh come on baby, pop out already. Then we would have a decent show. I love diversity and comedy.

no more no more said:

what?! the view is still on the air?! I thought it went away years ago..hannity and combes..now that's a show!!!

alis said:

Please, please, not Sherrie. That show needs someone intelligent, not another idiot like Elizabeth!

momlmb said:

I must agree. Whoopie and Sherri are great co-hosts. I was sick of hearing about politics all the time. I am glad that both women love to steer away from this and move on when necessary.

mary said:

im sorry whoopie is so ugly and how can she ever talk about style she is stuck in the 60's

Zat said:

Oh my god What Bothers You Most.. are you paranoid or something? Just because some people think whoopi or sheri is boring doesn't mean they hate them because they're african american. whether you believe it or not, boring people can be white, asian OR african american. sheesh.

sunnydaz2007 said:

I have always loved Whoopi....so natch i'm excited for her...Sherri is awesome too....Congrats ladies!!!

Elizabeth needs to go work for Bush.

Mary said:

mary you are just stupid. So what if Whoopi isn't that pretty. She's still funny as hell. Since when is there a rule that says you have to be gorgeous to be on t.v.? It's ppl like you that cause ppl to want to be anorexic or bullemic or be obsessed w/ looks. You make me sick and I'd bet you are ugly as hell and look like a man.
Go Whoopi!

Brenda/bregeott said:

That show sucks like **** since Starr Jones got canned.
Babara Walters is a dried up "HAG". She and Rosie deserve each other.
Zat posted on July 31 at 06:20am, your comment is very well stated. Thank you for your open and honest opinion and your brilliant intelligence.
I really don't give a rat's ass who they get to replace that "DIKE" Rosie,
I don't care what nationality that person is. I just hope they do something to perk the show up.
That show is soooo boring. It needs some pick me up action.
sunnydaz2007 on July 31 at 07:50am, your comment is TFF..Now you would be a great co-host on the VIEW. :-)
That's the type of energy that show needs. Lots of humor..well Joy is funny as hell, but the gurl needs some back up.
If this show doesn't pick up the action it's gonna be canned.
Let's hope that they decide on a person who has a great sense of humor and drive to keep the action needed to pick this show up, and keep the audience attention up.
Maybe then we all will "Take a little time to enjoy the view.":)

Fiona said:

Maybe they could have chosen a British import with a "classy" English accent and or a Hispanic with an equal "classy" accent to spice the show!

Maria J said:

I am hoping Whoopy gives that imbecil Elizabeth what is coming to her! She is the most stupid blonde on TV! Please, Please, somebody shut her big fat mouth up!

Oh, who gives a rats that they are African American!!! I LOVE Whoopie and Sherri. Both will be great but Whoopie will make me start tuning back in.

Yea for Whoopi, Sherri and to "really" make The View most interesting - Mario Cantone!!!!
I would definitely come back to the Show if "any" of the above became a member of The View Panel!!!!!! :-)

wtf said:

don't think anyone said they didn't like them cuz they are african american. why must you use the race card? i don't like elizabeth or babs on that show but would you say i don't like them cuz they are white? i think this show should just get canned. it is a boring useless show.

Blake said:

I personally don’t like Whoopi, especially for The View. Let’s see how the rest of America Thinks.

The two of them have brought some flavor back to the show, don't hate!!
If you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut...

Sandra said:

I like them both.
