Just a couple days ago ABC announced that it was in final negotiations to hire Whoopi Goldberg and comedienne Sherri Shepard.

The dreadlocked legend will fill the "moderator" spot, guiding the day-to-day topics the girls will gab about. I wonder if Joy Behar is going to get a little jealous having another professional comic on the stage with her.
