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?

Hands down, of the three, it should be Sherri! Kathy is beyond irritating! Then maybe, just maybe, if there is a higher being and he answers prayers, they would get rid of Elizabeth and Barbara(I don’t care if it was her creation, there could always be another show, and in time there will be! It happens all the time in that business, and we’ll get over it!)

Kathy, no yuk!! She has a strange sense of humor. Whoppie’s okay, she’d be able to handle it but Sherri is full of energy, smiles, motivation, ready to roll….she’s the one!!!!

definately it should sherri. she is so nice and at least listens. whoppi is just like rosie[even in the beginning in loved rosie]she wants tv to promote her on forum. kathy gets on my nerves. i would not be as interested in the view with whoppi or kathy there.

Sherri Shepherd all the way. I like Whoopi but not in that forum. It takes her too long to get her thoughts out!

Please Whoopy..she has style is very bright, a sense of humor, and can mediate. Sheree is nice enough but doesnt add much to the mix.She seems a little out of it on current events. Now if you pick Kathy Griffin I will not watch the show. She is obnoxious, rude, not funny, egotistical and obnoxious.She should remain on the D last and keep her reality show. Whoopy has it all!!

I am convinced that Whoopi would be the best choice. She is mature, calming, funny, bright, quick, able to recognize a confrontation between Miss Republican Elisabeth and whoever or whatever, and nip it before it gets out of hand. Whoopi has been around and has the maturity, stamina and intellect to do a fabulous job.

No way! Kathy Griffin on THE BOMB! Whoopi is a veteran comedian, but Kathy is current, very funny and (I believe) walks the precipice of the HUGE fame and popularity she so richly deserves. She would be a provocative addition to The View.

Whoopie is my vote. Kathy will cause me to turn the television off. PLEASE NOT KATHY!!!!! Sherri would be ok.

Sherri Shepard should be the next co host. She’s smart and very funny she respects everyone on the show. Sherri gets my my vote all the way! I don’t think anyone else will do better.

Loved Rosie. Sherri is my choice, but I think is is another host that needs replaced.

Whoopi hands down would be the best host for the view. She brings, experience, talent, knowledge and makes the audience part of the venue.

Kathy would bring the right amount of humor to the View. After her show on Bravo, I think alot of people as well as myself, have grown a new appreication for her and her style of comedy. I just love her!
