”Good morning, I’m Whoopi Goldberg,” was how the Oscar winner introduced herself to the cheering crowd on her debut of her View gig.

ABC today also confirmed that there will be a fifth host — the Meredith Vieira replacement — by year’s end. From TheHollywoodReporter:

”’We have a person in mind,’ executive producer Bill Geddie said Tuesday afternoon after the program had wrapped with only one guest, Danny DeVito and the requisite talk by Goldberg, creator/part-time co-host Barbara Walters and co-hosts Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
