Kathy Griffin could become a guest-host on The View, say sources.
The flame-haired comedian hit headlines recently after quitting E!’s Fashion Police following a furore caused by co-host Giuliana Rancic.
“She was great and has Whoopi (Goldberg)’s backing. Whoopi loves Kathy,” an insider reportedly told the paper. “‘The View’ would be a perfect fit if Kathy wanted to fly to New York weekly. It’s a Monday-through-Thursday job and she can tour on the weekends, the best two nights to sell tickets.”
Another insider said Griffin — who was apparently banned from ABC’s “Live with Kelly and Michael” because she supposedly insulted producer Michael Gelman — is nevertheless welcome on “The View” and is considered “a great friend of the show.”
“Her name has been tossed around, yes,” the source said. “She’s opinionated in a smart way and not argumentative for the sake of it.”
Your move, Rosie O’Donnell.
As all you men out there already know, Griffin appeared on “The View” last week, and referred to her “Fashion Police” exit as her being a “feminist” who doesn’t want to knock women. Goldberg tweeted: “Bravo @kathygriffin! You have to try it to know if you like it. You did and it wasn’t for you. And now, now a new change is going to come.”
