DeVito Gets First Crack at Makin' Whoopi on "View"

Danny DevitoTMZ has exclusively learned that the first guest on the season premiere of "The View" will be none other than that limoncello-swillin' fluffer-lover himself, Danny DeVito.

DeVito will be visiting the new "View" on Sept. 4, which will also be Whoopi Goldberg's first day in the moderator's seat. His last appearance, of course, followed a night of boozy debauchery (and seven limoncellos) with pal George Clooney, and led to one of the more classically nonsensical talk-show-guest appearances in recent history, full of Three Stooges references and plenty of bleeped-out banter.

Of course, DeVito made out pretty well after his limonization -- he ended up starting his own line of limoncellos this year, called Danny DeVito's Premium Limoncello. No word on whether the green room will be stocked with the tart beverage.

We're also told that "The View's" first week will include appearances by Clive Owen, Regis Philbin, Larry David, and Rachael Ray.

18. Ilove the view - I'm really sorry Rosie could not work out the mis-understanding with Elizabeth. I was watching that day and Elizabeth, you need to apologize publically!

19. Can we have more country loving republican views - rather than the country hating liberal stance? It is so nice to have Rosie O outta there - hopefully I won't have to see her on anything! She is terrible - I think Whoopie is the same liberal stance - everyone has been out to get 'em - they have been so suppressed! Give me a break! If a person is willing to WORK, they can do what they want to do!

20. kathy, talk about ignorant. Liberals love this country enough to speak out against wrong-doing and to preserve our country for future generations. Liberals care about ALL Americans - not just the rich white ones. I would love to drink a beer (oops! I mean tea) with the President, as I am sure he is a friendly guy, but that doesn't mean I want him to represent me or my country. He is a bumbling fool. You want to know what's bad for your country? The current regime spending all our money on the war, ignoring issues in its own backyard. You need to learn some facts, ma'am.

24. For #13. I'll bet "them old bags," know how to spell the word would. I'd also bet they know proper English. If you are going to criticize anyone, especially older people, make sure you know more than they do! Typical modern day moron!!!!!!! WOOD is what comes from a tree stupid.

25. The not so Rosie view should be removed from the air waves.I t won't matter who is on there this show has been over since Rosie mouth O'donnell was on there she spoiled the show with mouth overriding her brain.The comments she makes about other people would get the rest of us sued.I am glad she is gone and hope she never returns to tv . Hater that show 4 one

26. The View has gone strickly downhill. Meridith and Joy, aside from Ms. Barbara Walters are/were the main reason I watched the show. Rosie had nothing but loud mouth comments of no value. She thinks she is funny, but she is not. Now you got Whoopie. You have gone from bad to worse. What the show needs is an intelligent man to make a nice mix to the show. That would not only make it interesting but it would give a much needed different flavor to the show. Sorry Ms. Walters, you made some bad choices, now I will only watch the show if you have a guest I would to watch. Otherwise, the show is a failure.

27. UMMM.......WHO GIVES A DAMN!

28. Sorry, but I have never had "room for The View."
However, now that Rosie O is off the show, "global warming gases" have reduced significantly.

29. I second # 19's comments. If you are going to spew against others, at least have the common sense to either speak properly or keep it to yourself if you are too ignorant to know how to speak properly. Kathy Christopher must be a true moron. Not only are you stupid enough to think your views reflect a majority (thankfully they do NOT!), you can't speak English! Editors corrections to post 16 - Whoopie HAS (not is) a liberal stance. And the word you were going for is OPpressed, not suppressed. You sound like you are implying that Whoopi and other liberals have no job. Looks like the View is going to be signing her paycheck. Do YOU have a job?

30. I,too, agree with the others about Elizabeth. She dominates the conversation and constantly interupts when the rest of the cast are talking.
I do not watch the view for that reason alone, she gets boring as she is the only one who does all the talking.
I know the rest will be glad whenever she goes on maternity leave, and just maybe decide to stay home and be a full time mother
