TV Exclusive: And The New Host of 'The View' Is?

Today, Black On TV learned who has been slated to replace Star Jones, as the 'black' view of ABC's Daytime TV bitch-fest talk show, The View!

As recently reported here, Star Jones was quoted expressing not liking the show as of late citing that since her departure the show lacked some 'color'. Well, no sooner than running that story did we get an insider tip on who has already been slated to fill the 'black' seat.

The three being considered up until now was comprised of Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shephard and Gayle King. All great candidates if you ask me but we all know ABC is looking for one thing and one thing alone. RATINGS!

Whoopi Goldberg is still loved by all and she could pull this off effortlessly. She can be just as mouthy as Rosie at times which does garner ratings.

Hear this viewer's thoughts on why Whoopi should get the gig:


Sherri Shephard is great too. Her comedian background gives her the quick wit experience needed to sit on that panel. And she certainly can hold her composure when all hell breaks loose.

Remember this?



This show goes down in 'View' history that she will forever be a part. But does she stand to pull more ratings than Whoopi?

Lastly, we have Oprah's BFF, Gayle King. Gayle should just get the job for that reason alone! But let's not forget her day-to-day is holding down O Magazine as the Editor-at-Large.

But remember Gayle's last talk show attempt?


Despite how boring Gayle may have been back then, I am sure Oprah's vote alone makes her a shoe-in! Besides, ABC execs are probably banking on Oprah's viewers tuning in to watch. (cah-ching!)

So who do you think is the new black host of 'The View'? Shouldn't be too hard to guess when you look at it from this perspective.
