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.

46. Don't listen to a word their saying Mr. DiVito. I think you are great. Let he who has not sinned throw the first stone. Come on he had an off day, haven't we all.

49. I love Elizabeth!! I love her views on this world and I love that she loves our President!!! Whoopi is just going to bring the show down, ugly it up and continue the liberal banter that blames everyone but themselves for what is going on. Why do he liberals always have their hand out? Fix or pay for it yourself! ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS!!! Now there is an idea!

50. You got rid of Rosie (she was wonderful for this sinking show) and kept Elizabeth....a big ole YUK!!!

If it wasn't for Joy and now Whoppie, I wouldn't even waste my time.

51. Hated the View until Rosie joined. Used to watch avidly..Listen to what she actually says and not to the twisted versions. Love her and Joy. Cannot stand "Elizawitch" she is a conversation hog. Tries to talk really fast and throw in a lot of non pertinent info to cover up the fact that she doesn't know what she's talking about. She constantly interrupts. I am hoping that Whoopi will keep her in line. Give Danny the benefit of the doubt and see what he has to say sober. Apparently Whoopi thinks he will be an interesting guest as she doesn't seem to have a lot of patience with fools and stupidity. Go Whoopi!

52. I love how grown adults argue over proper English..But anyway, the show is quite boring but only because it was amusing to hear Rosie's ridiculous and absurd comments. Joy is a loud-mouth, annoying idiot, Elisabeth is young, and Barbara is old..that's all.

53. since Rosie left the show has been an absolute bore. I love Whoopie and hope she can bring something to the show. Please do something about getting rid of ElizaBITCH. How can someone that young be so wrong and so stubborn about everything. Go ahead be a right winger if you wish but allow others their own opinion. Hopefully Joy and Whoopie will be able to muzzle her. Wonder who the 4th will be. Heard Sherry Sheppard is out because she wanted too much money. Would have been fun to have three against the bitch.

54. I thought Rosie was great, nobody got her, she's a bit of a lost soul, the way she grew up without a Mother and a Father who apparently didn't really care, she's funny and smart and has alot of passion about her beliefs, what's wrong with that. If more people had that kind of passion this country would be a better place, all you nasty people just have to stomp on other good hearted people to make yourselves feel better. Get a life and look inside yourselves and see why you need to be mean. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing, isn't that what we're taught as children. It should carry through our lives. I love Whoopie too. But I would really like if they also added Sherri Shepherd, she is a blast and she, Joy and Whoopie together make the show. Now everyone start criticizing, instead why don't you start with yourselves. Have a great day everyone and I hope no one stomps your feelings into the ground. But then again your not famous and RICH, little jealous are we.

56. If anything can save The View it will be Whoopi. The woman, though not perfect, is amazing. I will however miss listening to her on on my way to work every morning though. I have always been one who never appreciated the "talk, talk, talk" of radio shows. Just give me my music and shut up.

HOWEVER, Whoopi changed all that for me. I looked forward to my morning drives to work to be shared by this wonderfully down to earth person who can express her 'views' without being offensive to the marority of the population. She's bright, she's funny and she's engaging. (And, though strong in the expression or her opinions, she has never been 'loud-mouthed')

Though I think she can do much better than the venue that the View offers her - still wishing her the best ... as ever.

57. kelbel: I do agree that people that post should be able to not only spell correctly but put things together in logical sensible order. I do remember my English lessons from oh so long ago. I also dont use spell checker that much simply because its a waste of time. So some errors do get into a post. That being said, its hard to put most left wingers statements into a logical order since they dont make basic sense. When you start with a false premise as the opening statement in an argument, the rest of the argument doesnt make any sense. For instance, Rosie being intelligent and a good stand up comic. Intelligence is very objective these days so we will leave that for another post. As for being a good stand up comic..Rosie stopped standing (too much weight), stopped being a comic years ago. Her only schtick is to berate conservatives because they dont believe in Rosie's lifestyle. Remember with left wingers like her, no other views are allowed. Her replacement, Whoopie, is at least more intelligent that Rosie, but just as left winger as Rosie is..and JUST as intolerant of conflicting views. But Whoopie will let you say it.

58. I would bet to say that if all these Neocons complaining about Whoopi and DeVito had O'Reilly instead, they'd be in Jerry Fallwells Heaven. These arrogant opinionated non realistic people are condemning something they haven't even got a look at. Whoopi is a liberal no doubt about that. She is also very smart with her comedy. She turns social issues into funny stories with different characters. So why don't you Neocons take your noses down a pitch so your eyes will be level with the horizon. With your current pose you're missing life as it goes by and all you do is bitch bitch bitch. What are you going to do when your party loses the White House. I think I'll start selling handkerchiefs for all you winers.

59. I agree with Kathy Christopher. Thank God for Elizabeth Hasselbeck. She stood up for herself and her beliefs against the bully and didn't back down. About time someone started doing that! The show is called The View for a reason. For people to express their view on certain situations. So for all the people knocking her....what exactly is she doing wrong? Just because she doesn't have the same beliefs as you doesn't make her wrong or a bad person. Get over it....she's still there and Rosie's not.

60. Love it! Whoopie has proven she can stay on the subject, control the
banter; & keep the talking over another's view to a minimum. I love
Joy; could do w/o Elizabeth; & have enjoyed getting to know Barbara
better. I have watched/taped the View often & never saw the
accusations made re: Star. I like her.
