Who Will Be The New View Co-Host????

Filed under: TV News > Kathy Griffin

Inside sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that Barbara is going to hire two new co-hosts for The View this coming season. After all, when Star and Meredith left last season, they only brought in one new co-host, Rosie.

Many names have been tossed in the air as possible candidates, and now one of those - Kathy Griffin - is talking quite candidly about her chances of getting on the show permanently.

"They (the producers of The View) are not throwing piles of money at me," Griffin tells the Toronto Sun. "They're not begging. I love when you hear these actresses say, 'The producer literally got on his knees and opened a briefcase full of money.' With me, no. It's like, ehhhh, they might, they might not, if they do they don't want me to talk so much. Believe me, there are a lot of provisions. But I don't know anything. I honestly don't know if they know what they want at this point. It would be a fun gig. But I'm not sure. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Honestly, I don't think they're going to come up with the Griffin dollars. But I'm happy to go and check it out and see what they want. I've done The View a bunch of times and it's a very fun show to do."

Kathy would be good for The View.

Perez would be good too! Ha ha ha ha.

      I think her humor is too dark for the view, and she will have to rein it in and bite her tongue, to the point of not being funny any more.

      Like wanda sikes said, "rather get shot in the head" than do the view.

      Same for you Perez - it's beneath you.

      i would TOTALLY start watching the View if Kathy was on. just to see the look on bab's face!

      she may be good for the view…. but I still wouldn't watch her… something about her mouth annoys me. Perez would be much better.

      Is that your big announcement? I think you're going to announce you've been chosen to be on the view permanently, not just as a guest.

      Sorry if I exposed your big secret.

      Perez should just not leave the show when he gets there. super glue your ass to the chair.

    12. Village says – reply to this

      Don't do it Kathy. The VIew will be circling the drain soon. It has already lost 400,000 viewers since Rosie left, and that was just the first week. It will continue to decline until ABC has to kill it to get rid of BW.

    17. Evan says – reply to this


      17

      kathy is my favorite guest host
      i think they are going hire whoopi goldberg & kathy i hope so anyway (not so much whoopi if they want a black hire sherri shepherds) i also heard susan lucci, lynne spears or carry ann inaba might join

      Mix 1/2 cup of Pop Rocks and 1 cup of Diet Coke with just a dash of Kathy G. to that show and watch the ratings blow up and fitz with delight! She would be a colorful addition to the "biege" cast!

    23. Melissa says – reply to this


      23

      PEREZ PEREZ PEREZ!! Kathy is too busy, lives in L.A. and there'd be a lot of bleeping! PEREZ would SAVE THE WORLD because Elisabitch would be rendered mute! GO PEREZ! Want us to petition Baba W for you?????

      24

      Kathy is great, love her standup comedy perfect for tv she can think on her feet the view is boring without rosie, atleast I watch on the days kathy is on. Whoopi is hit and miss. However in this picutre kathys arms look grey colored! I think I also like the Cheri lady they have on a lot but her siding with elizabeth and her cheater husband is annoying.

    25. Jak says – reply to this


      25

      I think she would suck. Not a wise choice.

    26. Barbi says – reply to this


      26

      Kathy is perfect for the job. Clearly, she is the best choice for the position, hands down.

    35. Amanda says – reply to this


      35

      I agree with you Tiffany…..especially when he announced there will be a big announcement he said something like make sure you take time to enjoy the view. I think perez would be great on the view.

    36. Me says – reply to this


      36

      Kathy looks old! I say YES to kathy and NO WAY for Perez - Love you Perez but there is no way I could listen to an hour of you (-: I watched the View before Rosie, quit while Rosie was on there, and now I watch it again. Love Perez but would quit again if you went on there.

      perez, they couldn't fit you on the screen. you won't get the job.

      you are all crazy to think the "view" hired perez to be a host….come on he's nobody….a guest maybe, for them to all laugh at….but not a host.

    42. Emily says – reply to this


      42

      I love Kathy. It would be great to see her and Whoopi as the two new co-hosts. They're both smart and they're both funny. Since Rosie signed off I haven't watched the View much. Kathy would bring me back for sure. Good Luck getting those Griffin bucks Kathy!

    43. Nora says – reply to this


      43

      Stop promoting yourself, you sissy!
      Do you really think Barbara Walters it is going to risk everything putting you on the show?
      No celebrity would go to the show…you have pissed off a lot of people!

      SICK PEREZ - that's a good headline!!!!!!!!!!

    45. Buster Cherry says – reply to this


      45

      Like they need another witch? Her mouth is meaner than Rosie's and she gets away with because she claims to be straight. If she gets in an argument with Elizabeth I am sure her wig will come flying off. Hire Perez or some hot big boobed Cuban!

      I think Kathy is wonderful..
      She saw a friend of mine crying over his breakup & she said "I can't have one of my gays crying!!!" so she gave him some free tix to her concert..(True story!!)
      That was just classy & kind.
      I love her now !!

      they all work so well together! i hope she gets the job, her and joy bounce off each other well, and barbara is sort of mothering in a way and keeps kathy in check, its great, ive been hoping she gets the job

    58. Melissa says – reply to this


      58

      I hate her.

      Sorry, but she just bugs the hell out of me.

      Perez, you would be way better choice.

      60

      wow. this is sad. you know that while you guys are sitting around commenting on stuff that no one really gives a crap about, people are being killed, raped and tortured in darfur. ask yourself "have i really done something with my life?" if the awnser is no, and you actually care about things that are important, visit www.savedarfur.org. if you awnsered yes, get ur rich butt of the chair and go donate something. we all live in the same world, so it might as well be a happy one.

      better Perez than Kathy, easier on the eyes, and a lot more talent. But as someone mentioned, maybe the celebs will boycott due to this site. Love your comments on hot new Aussie band "Operator Please" too Perez. Keep up the top work!! XX

      Who cares who they hire as a new host. With Rosie off the show, The View is not worth watching.

    64. bonzasheila.com says – reply to this

      I love Kathy! I had no plans to ever watch The View after Rosie left, but I might tune in to if they hire the hilarious Kathy Griffin.

      I think Kathy would be great on The View. Perez, not so much. I love Perez but he's just painful to watch when doing interviews.

      What gets me is who is watching this stupid show? I don`t know anyone who has ever seen it, including my friends who are unemployed, yet it gets this constant press. It`s like the Paris Hilton of daytime talk shows. The media pays it all this attention and nobody can figure out why.

      I WOULD WATCH THE VIEW EVERYDAY,

    74. Heb Ritz says – reply to this


      74

      I don't think that Kathy needs the View. She will make enough money without it. I hope that she doesn't take for less money than 500K. Was today Black Girl Day on the View. Who knew that Elizabitch hated a conservative(ie Mann Coulter). Maybe Hasselback is starting to see the light and realize how evil Bush and the Hard Core Conservative Mafia are.

      it's funny perez would love to rip on kathy (bc she wants the same job) but all of his gays love her so he cant rip on her and he has to say "she would be good but so would I" silly gay boy, he is such an amatuar.

      luv my gayz!

    89. Gina says – reply to this


      89

      Perez,
      You would be GOOD for the view. They need a man - all be it a gay man but still a man. You work it on friday and maybe they'll consider you

      i LOVE kathy griffin but i do NOT think she should take this job. she is always more reserved on there and i don't like how they are trying to keep everyone quiet now after all of the rosie crap. they need someone outspoken again…otherwise, the show will fade (more).

      97

      SORRY PIGFACE, but this is old news, we've know for a while that Babs was going to hire two hosts (possibly one male and one female). it was on OH NO THEY DIDNT, a site that frequently beats you in MANY stories, and conveniently appear on your site shortly after. coincidence? doubt it.

      HOWS THE COURT CASES COMING HMMM?

      Kathy will be a much needed addition. Perez, enjoy your guest spot, America is not ready for a tub 'o Lard preening fag just yet. Maybe in a hundred years Frodo.
