Comedian Whoopi Goldberg was officially announced as the new moderator and co-host of The View this morning. Picking up where Rosie O'Donnell and Meredith Viera left off, Goldberg will be responsible for steering panel discussions. She appeared on Wednesday's show for Barbara Walters's announcement. "I love this show," said Goldberg, who has guest co-hosted many times. "I love coming on it. I love hanging out with you guys." Producers at The View are also in discussions with possible candidates to fill the spot left empty by Star Jones Reynolds, including Sherri Shepherd and Kathy Griffin.source
