Whoopi Goldberg staying with ‘The View’
Whoopi Goldberg has signed a new fouryear deal to remain on TV show The
View.
The 65-year-old actress, who is in her 15th series with the talk show, is said to have put pen to paper on a new contract with the programme, which she currently co-hosts alongside Joy Behar, Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin.
Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that Whoopi’s new deal runs from the current 25th series of the panel show to season 28. The Sister Act star joined the programme in 2007, when she replaced departing host Rosie O’Donnell.
The View is yet to permanently replace former co-host Meghan McCain. But her mother, Cindy McCain, will appear as a guest host on the show on October 6.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, broadcaster Gretchen Carlson, Utah Congresswoman Mia Love, and businesswoman Carly Fiorina are among others who will guest present the daytime show’s 25th season. McCain left the talk show in July after almost four years.
