Which of these Frontrunners Do You Think Should Fill the Empty 'View' Spot?

“Extra” has learned the race for Rosie O’Donnell’s seat on “The View” is getting heated – and a decision could come soon.

There are now three people considered the top contenders to replace Rosie: Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Griffin and Sherri Shepherd!

Sherri has made no secret out of her wish to take a permanent seat on the show. She told “Extra” after guest-hosting, “I would love that job!”

But if the race seems too close to call, “Extra” has learned there could be a surprising compromise: the three women could actually all be hired – and take turns filling the seat!

Today, Rosie spoke out about leaving “The View” and revealed there is no bad blood between her and her ex-hosts.

She wrote on her blog that she still keeps in touch with Barbara Walters, despite rumors to the contrary!

Rosie also opened up on how she feels about “The Price is Right” and its new host, Drew Carey.

She said she wishes Drew the best!

Rosie famously contended to host the show, but she backed out last month once it was revealed she would have to move to California.

“Extra” caught up with Drew in New York City today, where he revealed the price was almost not right for him.

“There was one thing we were negotiating that was kind of a deal-breaking thing,” Drew admitted.

Luckily, Drew and the producers behind “Price” were able to hammer out a decision – and it was just in time.

“I heard like 15 minutes into the Letterman show, like 5 minutes before I went on the air,” Drew revealed. “It was crazy!”

Who do you think would make the best host on "The View:" Whoopi, Kathy or Sherri?

Sherri is my pick any day. She is beautiful, funny, open and lively. She will make the best of a co-host than the other two frontrunners.

Definitely Kathy Griffin! That show needs a loud-mouth who isn’t afraid to say what she’s thinking. That blonde-good-looking milktoast chick is worthless. Not a single brain cell in her head, too uptight, and annoyingly politically-correct. Get Kathy. She’ll spice things up like Rosie did, for sure.

I would like Kathy Griffin to take Rosie’seat. She is so dang FUNNY! Also, I think she would bring a unique perspective to ‘The View’.

Whoopie is, by far, the most intelligent, the most informed, very entertaining, deserves great respect for all her talent, and the most able to keep a balance as listener as well as communicator on The View. She doesn’t need to keep pulling viewer attention to herself and is, therefore, the easiest to listen to of the three contenders. She knows how to share the stage and her input is always valuable if not always entertaining. She’s clearly the best co- host for the show.

Please put Sherri on the show. It needs to once again be happy, funny and refreshing and she is the one to do it!

Sherri is an idiot.
Kathy is lame.
Whoopi is the most down to earth and the smartest. She doesn’t take any crap and she has a heart unlike K.G.

Again….Sherri is an airhead.

Whoopi all the way.
