Whoopi Goldberg Makes 'View' Debut
Whoopi Goldberg made her much-anticipated debut on “The View” this morning as the show kicked off its 11th season.
The audience gave the newest co-host a standing ovation as she entered the stage, which has been revamped and painted orange and yellow.
The set isn’t the only thing that was revamped – Whoopi, 51, has kicked it up a notch and lost some weight!
“Forty-three pounds!” Whoopi said. “I put some on since I lost it, but it’s alright, I think.”
Whoopi made her debut alongside regular co-hosts Joy Behar, Barbara Walters and a very pregnant Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Danny DeVito, who allegedly appeared drunk on the show last season after a night on the town with George Clooney, was the guest.
The show went on without a hitch, and afterward Whoopi confided, “I think it went well. Wasn’t too edgy; wasn’t too scary.”
Former co-host Rosie O’Donnell promised she’d be watching her replacement today, and Whoopi revealed she’s heard from Rosie as well as “View” veteran Star Jones.
“Both called and said, ‘Have a great time,’” Whoopi said.
With two comedians already on board, Barbara broke news to “Extra,” revealing another one will soon join the permanent panel.
“It will be somebody I think who will add to the humor,” Barbara confessed. “I will give you no other clues.”

Typical BS still abounds on The Phew. Goldberg states that Vick’s not so bad, ‘cause where he comes from, dog-fighting (and, apparently, torturing) is prevalent. You know what, there were some parts of the south that did just that to certain humans, whoop - is that okay, too? Elisabeth, run, don’t walk to the nearest exit!!!Get out while you can.
