Sources say that possible replacements being considered to replace Rosie O’Donnell next year on The View are Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Kathie Lee Gifford and Connie Chung, but that Roseanne Barr is currently the top contender.
“They’re missing strong personalities on that show, and that’s what they’re going to need if they want to keep it going,” an ABC staffer close to the situation told the Post. “It’s going to be hard for them to follow Rosie,” says an industry insider. “Roseanne could be the only one capable of pulling it off.”
It’s like their only requirement for the job is being fat and annoying. They could replace Rosie O’Donnell with a giant screeching bat and it’d be the least annoying choice. Probably also the best looking.

fuckin ew. first? i think not.
dumbphuck | April 30, 2007 at 6:49 am
i don’t get it tho, rosie was a talking garbage bin, but at least her leftist views made her sorta interesting. rosanne bar hasn’t been funny for a long time now.
oh well, i don’t think we even get The View in australia.
dumbphuck | April 30, 2007 at 6:50 am
i’m tryin to get the first 3 posts in a row here, so i’m gonna vote dame edna to replace rosie
saradevil | April 30, 2007 at 6:51 am
I’m so disappointed to see that RuPaul is not even being considered.

Kristin | April 30, 2007 at 7:00 am
The view is so stupid anyways it really doesn’t matter whose hosting it.
murmurzz | April 30, 2007 at 7:00 am
I like Roseanne. She’s fat & obnoxious, but in a good way. Unlike Rosie.
DrPhowstus | April 30, 2007 at 7:03 am
There was be a total weight requirement. Better than hiring two hosts, I suppose.
sympathee | April 30, 2007 at 7:09 am
Anything is better than rosie.
bungoone | April 30, 2007 at 7:11 am
i didn’t even recognize her in the photo. is
fergernauster | April 30, 2007 at 7:22 am
Rosie was merely clinically depressive, which endeared her to the mentally sick masses.
Roseanne claims to have MPD and a lesser host of assorted mental maladies. This could be good TV.
RRR (Replacement Remedy Revealed):
whale-sized + thin-lipped + peri-/post-menopausal white + LOUD + neurotic and/or psychotic = WINNER.
Kevin_FederSwine | April 30, 2007 at 7:28 am
Roseanne was actually very good on the panel in a recent episode of Real Time With Bill Maher. Yeah, she’s unpredictable and maybe a little more than crazy, but on the Maher show, she fit in well. I tend to agree with The Donald when it comes to O’Donnell, even though I think The Donald is a dick…when he’s right he’s right. Next step in the right direction would be to dump Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Phazon | April 30, 2007 at 7:39 am
@#2 yeah we do on the W Channel on Foxtel/Austar.
TaiTai | April 30, 2007 at 7:46 am
Why don’t they get John Travolta?

“It’s like their only requirement for the job is being fat and annoying.”
Somebody should send out the bat signal to Libraesque…
Dureagonfly | April 30, 2007 at 7:50 am
I think Whoopie would make a GREAT replacement..she has a strong personality, she’s political, and she is fu_king funny!!
Binky | April 30, 2007 at 7:50 am
I think they’re leaning toward Condi Rice or Ann Coulter.
mada | April 30, 2007 at 7:55 am
Whoopie would be an interesting choice.
Whoopie [to Elizabeth]: “…no, child.”
HoboChic | April 30, 2007 at 8:01 am
Yes. Hands down, Whoopi. But I still ain’t watching. I have been pissed ever since they fired Debbie Matenopoulis. You’ll have to excuse me for not being able to spell her name–I don’t think I’ve seen it since she was unceremoniously canned. That Barb Walters is hardcore.

Has donald trump come out publicly with an “I told you so” yet?
karatekachick | April 30, 2007 at 8:40 am
I can’t believe I am saying this. Roseanne would be much better then Rosie. That in itself is SCARY!!!!!!!!
erta | April 30, 2007 at 8:47 am
THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!! I love Roseanne, her show was the SHIT!
lambman | April 30, 2007 at 8:54 am
Wasn’t the whole point of this show that they had women from different generations and backgrounds giving their “view” on current events?
What’s the difference between Roseanne and Joy? They’re both about the same age, former comedians (though Joy was never funny) and white. 2 menopauseal comedians plus Barbara and that republican idiot….wow
fergernauster | April 30, 2007 at 8:59 am
No. No Whoopi. Her impressive and respectable career would deflate faster than Richard’s erection in the presence of naked female beauty.
But, then again… isn’t Whoopi doing L.A. Weight Loss commercials?…
xXrebeccaXx | April 30, 2007 at 9:03 am
Well I like Roseanne…she’s funny as hell. I still watch the re-runs of the show. I think she’d be great on The View. I watch the show almost every day and I’d love to see Roseanne on there…maybe I’ll actually laugh while watching it :D
anothershityear | April 30, 2007 at 9:05 am
let’s make sure about R.Barr’s requirements first
fat and/or ugly : check
extremely stupid : check
loud / obnoxious / grating : check
i’m looking forward to not seeing her on that show i’ve never watched and never will
#24, #25 ltm
#26 yes he has. yes, he has.
notice how Ronald Mc’Donnell has latched herself onto that conspiracy-theory group now
give her credit for one thing, she finds a rabid demographic and relentlessly pretends to be like them, she has absolutely no identity of her own that probably helpsw
Donkey | April 30, 2007 at 9:11 am
- This little piggy had roast beef.
- This little piggy had none.
- This little piggy said “yes yes yes Barbara I’ll do it”
- Because the other little piggy was kicked off The View.
Jedi Kevin | April 30, 2007 at 9:44 am
And you thought it was difficult to masturbate to The View before…
jrzmommy♠ | April 30, 2007 at 9:47 am
Is there a difference?
chaunceygardner | April 30, 2007 at 9:52 am
It’s nice that aggravating obese cunts are finally getting their due, spewing their unwanted and uninteresting thoughts and opinions on television, rather than from behind the counter at the DMV.
woodhorse | April 30, 2007 at 9:56 am
#23 I don’t know, but my money’s on Roseanne. I have adored her ever since she bitch slapped Arsenio Hall back into place and made the remark that her outlook on life is skewed because they didn’t have Trailer Trash Barbie or Alcoholic Housewife Barbie.
woodhorse | April 30, 2007 at 9:59 am
#30 between you and Barbado’s biting sarcasm, we are never going to get Richard to come back. You make me sad. Richard was fabulous.
woodhorse | April 30, 2007 at 10:39 am
#34 Why do you want to make it difficult? Get a magazine – Double Duty hey! Save some electricity.
woodhorse | April 30, 2007 at 10:42 am
#16 I have tried – God knows how I have tried not to feed into your Libraesque diatribe, but Dear God! “somebody should send out the bat signal” has me laughing so hard I can’t even fucking type…
Ruby | April 30, 2007 at 10:57 am
Woodhorse, I agree that Roseanne could probably feed it to the Donald. Besides, he can’t use the lesbian excuse on her. RBLTC.

“It’s like their only requirement for the job is being fat and annoying. They could replace Rosie O’Donnell with a giant screeching bat and it’d be the least annoying choice. Probably also the best looking.”
Ok, I like the site, but just one suggestion. Sometimes Less is more. You could have finished off this article with just the first part “”It’s like their only requirement for the job is being fat and annoying.” Boom! That would have been hilarious. I think where you goof sometimes is you’re trying too hard to say something clever and out there and sometimes that causes you to write too much…or to write things like this “It’s like their only requirement for the job is being fat and annoying. They could replace Rosie O’Donnell with a giant screeching bat and it’d be the least annoying choice. Probably also the best looking.”
Seriously, I’m not trying to bag on you because the first part…..perfect.
Now, as for Roseanne….frankly I think she’d do a better Job than Rosie…at eating PUSSY!
Thank you and good-night.
anothershityear | April 30, 2007 at 11:36 am
#42 you brought up an intriguing question
blindfolded + with nose-plugs to prevent smelling their decaying snatches
which of those two would be better at giving head?
i think i agree: Roseanne
justme | April 30, 2007 at 11:41 am
The View should hire Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger.
DrPhowstus | April 30, 2007 at 11:48 am
@44 — I disagree. They should hire someone Black.
sikofdis | April 30, 2007 at 11:52 am
I think they should just call the show “Cunt-Fest”! At least it would be an honest title for what viewers should expect.
NicotineEyePatch | April 30, 2007 at 11:55 am
46, I like your politics.
sikofdis | April 30, 2007 at 11:57 am

“Volvo – they’re boxy, but they’re cheap”
LOL!
LL | April 30, 2007 at 1:48 pm
Whoever said it above, word: The View sucks no matter who’s on it. They’re all a bunch of annoying bitches and Barbara Walters is the queen of annoying bitches. How I wish she’d get run over by a bus or mauled to death by an escaped tiger from the zoo. If that happened, I’d laugh and laugh… Come to think of it, they could replace The View with footage of all of them being mauled to death by various animals (polar bears! sharks! a pack of dingoes! a hippo!) and I would make sure and always Tivo that shit. That’d be awesome. Must see TV, you might say.
