Whoopi Goldberg's eye may have wandered past “The View.”
The “Sister Act 2” is reportedly “fed up” with the daytime talk show,
and has told her confidants she won’t be getting back in the habit after
her contract expires this season, according to a report from The Wrap.
Show insiders believe the 60-year-old comedian, who joined the show in
2007, is grumbling amid ongoing contract talks to keep her on the
struggling show.
ABC brass “want her back,” according to the report.
Meanwhile, former Disney Channel starlet Raven-Symone — who in her controversial one-year “View” stint has claimed she wouldn’t hire someone with a “ghetto” name and appeared to place equal blame
on a South Carolina student assaulted by a sheriff’s deputy — will
likely also leave after this season, according to the report.
That would leave the show with lightning rod Joy Behar — the only
co-host sticking around from the show’s original 1997 lineup — as well
as Candace Cameron Bure, Paula Faris and Michelle Collins.
A rep for ABC denied the report Tuesday, calling it "nothing but rumor and speculation from unnamed sources."
“View” producers are also hoping to keep co-host Cameron Bure, who has
complained about commuting from her Los Angeles home for the job.
While weathering frequent cast changes, “The View” has been fighting an
uphill ratings battle against copycat rivals like CBS’ “The Talk.”
