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 would tivo the view EVERYDAY if Kathy was on it. I think Babs would make her dilute her humor though …so if that is the case, then I might not want Kathy on it.

      I'm so confused.

      Listen Piggy. We all know that your big announcement is that you've been asked to permanently join The View. Stop playing games and just spill it. And by the way, you joining The View will be a HUGE mistake. The ratings on that show are going to bomb and you don't want your name attached to that.

      Kathy would totally revive that pre menaposal show! it needs some life and I would totally start watching if she were on it!! Kathy is very witty and completly up to date on current events and willing to speak her left wing oppinion! (which the view totally needs since rosies departure!)

      Although I adore Kathy, I don't understand her even considering an offer from The View, as her entire act is based on the premise that, "I'm an outsider, just like you, in the world of celebrity" and therefore can poke fun at our obsession with celebrity and the degrees of fame. Kathy's joining the cast of The View would seriously compromise her "outsider credibility" and she could easily become one of "them". It's a slippery slope.

      Although I adore Kathy, I don't understand her even considering an offer from The View, as her entire schtick is based on the premise, "I'm really an outsider, just like you, in the world of celebrity"and able to poke fun at our obsession with celebrity and the various levels of fame. Joining the cast of The View would seriously compromise her "outsider credibilty" and she could perilously come too close to becoming one of "them". It's a slippery slope.

      Perez, you've dropped enough hints. We all get that you are going to be one of the new co-hosts for The View.

      I know nothing about the business of TV, but I do know that the only thing that made The View worthwhile was Rosie. Now Rosie is gone. Joy is greatness, but she can't carry a show. Everyone else at the table is so freakin' boring…Babs is a living legend- but she keeps too tight of a leash, and Elizabeth is from another planet. Why can't all the fun people (Rosie, Kathy, Ross the Intern, P-nasty, & Joy) start their own show? Why does everyone want to be at Bab's boring table? Why can't the fun people get a table of their own?

      Although I adore Kathy, I don't understand her even considering an offer from The View, as her entire schtick is based on the premise, "I'm really an outsider, just like you, looking in on the world of celebrity". Her outsider cred would be seriously compromised and she could come perilously close to becoming one of "them". It's a slippery slope.

      She'd get to C-List with that!! But what about her show and standup? Could she still do that? If Kathy gets on the View, I might start watching it!!

      FUCK YEAH KATHY IS THE BOM BABY SHE SHOULD TOTALLY BE THE NEXT HOST ON THE VIEW, ALL THOSE OTHER BITCHES ARE BORING AND NOT MUCH FUN TOO WATCH… KATHY WILL KICK MUCH ASS IF SHE GETS THE GIG AND I WILL WATCH IT EVERYDAY

      If ever there was a face that could stop a clock, it is Kathy Griffin's mug. If The View's producers are stupid enough to hire her, it will be the end of this longtime daytime staple.

      Jump the Shark. A shark would speed off in the other direction rather than take a hunk out of her wrinkley, leathery flesh…

      Kathy Griffin is not funny, has no real insight (only hackneyed schtict) and, I suggest again, has a face that could knock over the entire Chinese Army.

      I really wish Perez would stop advertising his sorry ass for every show biz position that comes available. Personally, I don't think I could stomach the likes of Perez on camera in the morning, every morning. Why not just be happy writing your little gossip column??? I like what you do, but please stay in the background!

      126

      To improve ratings, they should concentrate on getting rid of Elizabeth INSTEAD of bringing in a new person. I stopped watching it now that Rosie's gone. Elizabeth is such a moron, I felt my IQ decrease just by watching her. They definately need to have someone educated & open-minded…and not afraid to voice her opinion. I agree..the show is so lame now. How about giving Joan Rivers a last Hurrah?

      130

      Kathy Griffin is too good for the view. The View fires anyone with a personality. They just want to make some money off her before Elizabitch sinks her conservative teeth into her and sends her running for the hills. DON'T DO IT KATHY! YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT SHOW!

    31. PepperBoucher says – reply to this


      131

      Please, no! I turn the show off every time she's on. So annoying. No Whoopi either, too dry. Sherri Shepherd and Perez would make great additions to my favorite morning show!

    32. Stephanie says – reply to this


      132

      OMG! I love Kathy! She is exactly what they need. Joy's pretty good at speaking her mind, but Kathy is soooo much better because she's younger and yeah, she talks about celebrities, but who gives a damn? It's all in good fun! She and Perez would make a dream team when it comes to mid morning celeb gossip. As long as they don't hold her back she'll be amazing.

      She look like a pasty albino smothered in white out who just saw a ghost. Her forehead would give Evil Knievel the cowardly shits. With that pumpkin colored brittle broom she calls hair you would think that she prays daily for alipecia. Her gag-a-second routine is so fucking tedious. She is always "on". Tiresome. Imagine sitting next to paleface on a cross country flight? Good God! I bet this skank carries a pocket laugh track. Suicide would be an excellent career move for her.

      I like her, she's hilarious. She'd be great. I'd think she'd steal the show every air-on. Oh wait, this is ABC not HBO. Aw, the show would just be a big bleep then. That wouldn't be good now would it?

    37. TB says – reply to this

      I hate this bitch. She's not funny- she's annoying like Carrot Top. Even when she's making fun of herself it's not funny. Her voice should not be tolerated. God. How do people like her so much??? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

      Kathy Griffin might help pull the sticks out of the other ladies booties!!! She cracks me up…if she got the spot it would be funny to see how the other hags take Kathys humor!!! That would be a great show to watch !!! If she does do it though…I see another Rosie run..of only a year!!!

      146

      Perez - We all know it is YOU. That is likely the big Friday announcement. It gives everyone hope that you can start a blog, follow you passion, and achieve things beyond your wildest dreams.

      I think Kathy Griffin is really funny, offbeat and isn't quite as off-kilter as Rosie. Rosie just has too many issues and she started making the View her own personal soapbox - and that is not what the View is supposed to be. I'm glad she's outta there.

      Congrats Perez!

      I LOVE Kathy Griffin! She has one of the quickest, wittiest comedic minds in the bizz today, and would be a perfet fit for 'The View'. Her humor is razor sharp, and when it comes to 'calling out' celebs who do the craziest shit, she spares no one. You gotta love her! She says all the snide and snarky things we all feel, but are too shy to voice out loud. I think she'd be a great co-host, I just hope if she does accept the spot, she doesn't buckle and let queen Barbara Walter censor her. Kathy would make an awesome addition to the show and give the audience something to laugh at again. GOOOO GRIFFIN!

      If so, she needs it again, the wrinkles around her eyes looks really bad.

      everything about kathy irritates me, most noteably her voice. but, chances are, if she drives me up the wall, her view co-hosts will hate her after 5 minutes, and i'd love to see how elizabeth hasselfuck deals with her. so hire kathy!!

      164

      Kathy is way too ccol for The View. has anybody ever watched the show?! It is completely inane. it's pretty much watching these women go on and on and and on and on FOREVER about the most stupidest of things!!! Who gives a shit about what these women think about anything! Who do these women think they ARE? This show should be taken off the air and Barbara should just stick to her celebrity interviews and Kathey to her reality show.

      Kathy is so so funny… I might watch the view if she were a host. It would be great to see someone with a sense of humor on that show instead of a bunch of uptight women.

      166

      Kathy is BAD ASS! That show would be so much better with her as a host.With her and Joy you wouldn't need the boring Elizabeth. Why the hell is she still there.They should fire her and give more money to rosie to come back.

      I can't think of One person who likes this NO TALENT-PLASTIC FACE-SQUARE SHAPED HEAD- RUDE B….! The veiw sucks anyway so who gives a shit. Rosie was the only good thing that ever happened to it anyway. So go ahead- put all the dumb-ass turds you can find. When will the funny red head comic on that show get a clue and leave before her career goes down the drain with the rest of them!!!!!
