ABC is in final negotiations with frequent guest host Whoopi Goldberg to join The View, according to Variety.

ABC is also reportedly in talks with Sherri Shepherd to join the show. Shepherd's a standup comic who has appeared in series such as Less Than Perfect.

ABC is searching for a replacement for Rosie O'Donnell, who left the show in May, and whose boisterous and controversial presence resurrected ratings for the 10-year-old talk show. Sources said an announcement on both signings could come as soon as next week.

ABC is looking to fill two chairs on The View after the departure of O'Donnell and the spot once held by Star Jones Reynolds, who was fired from the show in 2006.
