“The View” is about to get a lot bigger with reports that Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd will join the panel.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Whoopi, who had been tipped for months to fill a “View” seat, will join the show’s new season. Many originally expected Goldberg to become an official member following the early departure of Rosie O’Donnell in May.

In not-too-surprising news, Sherri Shepherd, the African American comedian who has shared a spot on the show off and on over the last several months, has also been reportedly offered the job.

ABC however would not comment on the news, telling the Times, “We have nothing to announce right now.” source

I’m not really a fan of The View but congrats to the lady. Maybe I will check out the new season.
