Talking recently about her new job as cohost of The View, she promised not to pick fights as Rosie O’Donnell did as host because that isn’t who she is as a person. Instead, Whoopi promises to be “be respectful and listen.”

“I disagree with a lot of stuff a lot of people say, but there is a dialogue to have with people that I was taught by my mom – how to be respectful and listen,” Goldberg told Ryan Seacrest in an interview. “You can get loud and move on after you are finished with it, that is how I work.”

Former View co-hosts sound off on the news of Whoopi Goldberg being announced as the latest moderator for the talk show gabfest.

“Whoopi is fantastic in every way and perfect for the job,” says Rosie. “She’s amazing and one of my favorites.”

“Whoopi is a smart women with an opinion, and an excellent choice,” says Star Jones Reynolds. “She brings life experience outside of the entertainment business and diversity with intelligence. I wish her the best.”

It’s official — Whoopi Goldberg will replace Rosie O’Donnell and join the ladies on The View — Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

“I’m really glad to be doing The View,” Whoopi said in a statement. “It’s a show I like with people I like, and I’m looking forward to it.”

“We are thrilled,” Babs said on today’s show. “She is creative, she is funny, she is an enormous talent.”

Whoopi officially joins The View the day after Labor Day, Sept. 4.

UPDATE: Sherri Shepherd wasn’t announced as a host because, as always, money negotiations didn’t work out. “They just couldn’t work out the money part of it,” an insider tells In Touch. “They weren’t willing to pay Sherri what she was asking for.” Sherri reportedly demanded at least $2 million, which insiders say is what Whoopi will receive for her first year on the air.

The View is also in talks with former CNN news anchor and syndicated radio host Jacque Reid.

Comedians Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd are joining The View next season, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Final negotiations for the comic duo are underway and an official announcement is expected next week. The current View hosts include Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The other strong contender was comedian Kathy Griffin.

Whoppi and Sherri guest co-hosted The View together earlier this month — Monday, July 9.

You can catch Sherri “guest co-host” again this Friday with guests John Travolta and Queen Latifah.
