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?

Kathy is the best choice by far. She is consistently laugh out loud funny. Her humor is quick, high energy, and smart. She is the perfect mix for that bunch.

Sherri Shepherd is my pick. Whoopi is too boring and Kathy Griffin I find obnoxious,offensive and not funny. Sherri would be a nice asset to the group.

I think Sherri is the best replacement as co hohost on the view. She is funny and down to earth and gives a real black woman’s perspective without being obnoxious like Starr was. Go Sherri!!!!

Kathy would definitely bring a straight forward and honest aspect to the program. As brash and offensive as she can be, that is what makes her fun, additionally I really believe she has the utmost respect for both Barbara Walters and the program itself. Ideally both Woopie and Kathy together would be a great combo, I mean if you ever watched My Life on the D-List you know how much Kathy respects these women and the program, and oh yeah EMMY NOMINATION………..GO KATHY!!!!!!!!!

CAN’T STAND KATHY!! NOOOOO!!! Please, either Whoopy or Sherri. I don’t think Kathy could get along with that group. She’s too shallow and just plain mean. Not funny at all.

Shere Shepherd is unacceptable. She doesn’t believe in evolution so leave her in the 20th century where she belongs. We don’t need one more Bible quoting person receiving air time.

Sherri or Whoppi … PLEASE! Would not turn on anymore if it were Kathy as she is a fake, impressed only with herself and just not funny!

Sherri Shephard would be the perfect replacement for Rosie. She has audience mass appeal and would do a terrific job. My vote is for Sherri…
Good luck.

Sherri is a Lady and would be the best choice.
Whoopi is a bore to watch.
And if Kathy wins the spot I will never watch the view again, she is so rude.

Since there are actually two seats to be filled, I think Whoopi would be great as the moderator and Sherri for the other seat.

Sherri would be an asset to this program! She is funny, smart, and real! Whoppi would also be god but she looks so uncomfortable when on the show. If they add kathy I will quit watching- she is not funny just offensive.

Kathy should replaced Hasselblech, & only if that winner of the goosestepping with the republifascistars leaves should Whoppi accept the other position. Otherwise Whoppi won’t last after Hasselblech stabs her in the back, too. Remember Whoopi lost her sitcom after she dissed Bush too much. Kathy would be great but I can’t see her going a week without cursing, then again, could Whoopi? OKAY - Sherri should be hired but she should be careful not to lose weight — gotta keep that Aunt Jamimi Mammy look for the white audience

Whoopie gets my vote. She is funny and down to earth and I just enjoy her! I now listen to her in the mornings in Philadelphia, PA. I love her. She is just crazy enough to make you believe her and real enough to make you feel like she is the best friend you really miss. And just what a talk show needs…she’s someone I would love to sit down and talk with and listen to every day and therefore that’s the important thing for me as my choice!

Whoopy should be the next co-host. I really like her because she’s brilliant and very funny the view will be so lively and so much fun.
