WHOOPI GOLDBERG To Join THE VIEW?

(From Cynopsis)

Never shying away from a woman with a point of view, THE VIEW is in the final negotiation stages of making WHOOPI GOLDBERG a full time panelist.

According to VARIETY, the negotiations with Whoopi are ongoing, as well as with standup comic SHERRI SHEPHERD, and ABC could end up making an announcement it has signed both women to the show, which would bring it back up to its original complement of four plus Barbara.
