Whoopi -- Talk Show Jinx?
It was announced today that starting this September, Whoopi will be the new "View" co-host. Move ovah yentas, Goldberg is here!
What some may not remember: Goldberg had her own syndicated talk show: "The Whoopi Goldberg Show," which aired for one unmemorable season in 1992-93. The show was informal, had no house band, no co-hosts -- and no viewers! Oy vey! The talker was quickly cancelled and nearly as quickly forgotten ... until now.
Whoopi also had a brief foray into sitcomville with her uniquely titled, "Whoopi." Viewers had other plans. The comedienne won an Oscar in 1990 for "Ghost," and hosted the Oscars several times. While she was (sorta) successful with "Hollywood Squares," she had ample support from a rotating cast of Xs and Os.
Give the ladies on "The View" a rabbit's foot ... they bettah keep their fingahs crossed!
