DeVito Gets First Crack at Makin' Whoopi on "View"

Danny DevitoTMZ has exclusively learned that the first guest on the season premiere of "The View" will be none other than that limoncello-swillin' fluffer-lover himself, Danny DeVito.

DeVito will be visiting the new "View" on Sept. 4, which will also be Whoopi Goldberg's first day in the moderator's seat. His last appearance, of course, followed a night of boozy debauchery (and seven limoncellos) with pal George Clooney, and led to one of the more classically nonsensical talk-show-guest appearances in recent history, full of Three Stooges references and plenty of bleeped-out banter.

Of course, DeVito made out pretty well after his limonization -- he ended up starting his own line of limoncellos this year, called Danny DeVito's Premium Limoncello. No word on whether the green room will be stocked with the tart beverage.

We're also told that "The View's" first week will include appearances by Clive Owen, Regis Philbin, Larry David, and Rachael Ray.

136. Elizabeth is like fingernails down a blackboard. Nobody pays any attention to her but she continues to blab. She is PERFECT. Her husband is PERFECT. Her children, her family, her marriage is PERFECT - Does the name Kathy Lee Gifford ring a bell? Would not even tune in if Joy were not there. Have sinking feeling that my favorite show is going down the tubes.

137. I'm so glad Kathy Christopher can speak for the rest of us. American-loving republicans! Give me a break!!! I'm a moderate American much like 90% of this country. I didn't like Rosie that much, but Elizabeth Hasselbeck is one of the most narrow-minded, ignorant people I've heard on tv in a long time. She's every bit as much a pain in the ass as Rosie! She just plays the cute little blonde card all the time. Whoopi will bring balance to the show. And guess what Kathy YOU B****! A lot of us moderates DON'T LIKE George Bush! He has brought shame and disgrace to this country!

143. Rosie was great and I like Barbara and Joy. Elizabeth is so bad I can't watch the show now. Whoppi will be good. Hope you get rid of Elizabeth!!!

144. I am sure this program is on its way to the bottom! I didn't watch it when Rosie was on there and I sure won't watch it now. Have fun ladies!!!

145. If this is the best first guest Whoppi can get, The View will continue to go downhill. Get rid of that stupid bitc* Elizabeth. Joy is fantastic. Whoppi may be a one year wonder.

146. Lin (128) If you like Rosie, you are not conservative republican.

147. Oh Elizabeth..... the best we can hope for is that when you have baby #2, you will decide to become a STAY-AT-HOME Mother. You really get on my nerves. You can't keep your mouth shut. You never have anything interesting to say. I really don't care if Grace is potty trained. You go girl, go home and stay there. Make room for more of Joy and Barbara. I'll give Whoopi a chance, but you have run out of chances!!!!

148. Hey man... who said "put down the stones"? what'd we ever do to you? It was my dad i snorted. I'll have to give Danny - boy a line o' me pops to perk him up and a moraphine drip to keep him from shooting himself in case he sobers up and realizes he's back on " the losers with nothing to do but sit home and biatch" show!

149. Well, Whoopie should add some maturity and control to "Elisa-bitche's" mouth. She is so obnoxtious- she goes on and on about her fairytale life, and world full of self admiration. I normally tune out as soon as she speaks for more than a minute. Maybe Whoopie will keep her in line. She really adds nothing to the show- Lets replace her next.At least Rosie was down to earth. Joy is great though. and poor Bab's, is like a den mother no one listens to.
