2 Rosie's...lol On going joke

RP On Soul Train:

Official Press Release

The View always needs a resident dummy whose opinion doesn't really matter...

I don't even know who they are.

well that's a good thng. I preferred the View when it started and it was namely unknowns and not celebrities. Although Rosie was a pretty big name in the 90s; not so much now. Wendy Williams will be happy as she's suggested her

I KNEW Nicole Wallace would get it! Pretty happy for her and excited to see the new group! I'll miss her honest perspective on Morning Joe tho

I don't mind Nicole Wallace, she's been pretty good when guesting.

Rosie Perez is ... a surprising choice. We'll see. I'm not opposed to her and I can see why they probably went with her. Although, really, two Rosie's? LOL. I would have rather had Sunny Hostin though.

So, Whoopi, Rosie, Nicole and Rosie Perez. Different. We'll see how it pans out. At least it seems they're trying to go for different view points again. I'd guess they want that 5th chair to be open for guest hosts or maybe they don't want to hoist three new hosts and went with two for now? I'm very interested to see the changes. An overhaul was MUCH needed.

I've always liked Nicolle Wallace. As a Democrat, if I'm going to have the loyal opposition, it might as well be her. I always liked her on Morning Joe and Real Time with Bill Maher.

I'm not so familiar with Rosie Perez outside of her acting, so that will be interesting to see.

Agreed about Nicolle Wallace. I think she's a very good choice. And at the end of the day I can 100% see why they went with Rosie Perez but it still came like totally out of left field. They are definitely after the Latina/Latino demographic and I'd say she probably has the best chance to reach that audience.

I'm just thankful they didn't give Mario Cantone a permanent job. Lord. I can only take him in small doses.

I'm not a fan of RP, but I'll give her a shot. As long as Whoopi is on, I'll be a viewer.

Please tell me that hot ass mess is not an official promotional shot...

That promo shot is horrible. And IMO, they should've added a 5th woman, preferably conservative, to balance out this show. Dare I say it but Sarah Palin would've been a good choice. At least it would've been must-see TV with Rosie v. Sarah.

In other news, Ana Quincoces [from RHOM] was one of nine to be considered for a seat, but that changed once Rosie signed on and she declared no reality stars co-host. She spilled this on Facebook [i am friends with her on there].

I am surprised Sunnu Hostin or SE Cupp didnt get a seat

That promo are individual shots of them from other places spliced together
