It's Official!

Whoopi is joining The View as their new co-host and moderator, Barbara Walters announced on the show Wednesday morning.

No word on a second hiring, though Sherri Shepard was pretty much considered a shoe-in.

Whoopi joked that she watched the show once or twice before she was considered.

Congrats! Let’s hope Miz Goldberg can make the show as exciting as it was when Rosie was on.

Whoopi begins the day after Labor Day.
