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.

76. I feared Rosie would jeopardize the show given her inability to express herself without sounding extreme. She brought some good things to the table but wrapped them in a blanket of conspiracy which discredited her. I do love me some Whoopi. She has a good mind and it will be a joy to watch her at work. It is my hope that the extreme right learns that they are not the only people who love this country and those who serve it. The beauty of this country is it's freedom to disagree with it's politics and it appears 70+% of the country is doing just that. Spewing hate will get us nowhere, whether it is Elizabeth or Rosie.

77. I don't really care who comes on to guest - I love Whoopi. She's smart, funny and edgy, and I think she's going to add a lot to the show which, by the way, sucks big time now that Rosie's gone. As for little-miss-goody-two-shoes Elisabeth, she's nothing but a mindless Republican tool who spews out spoon fed Fox network talking points without any original thoughts of her own. I wonder how she feels about yet ANOTHER holier-than-thou Republican politician making sexual advances to another man in a bathroom stall? Sheesh, yet another closet Republican gay HYPOCRITE!!! Thank God I'm not a Republican, but if I were I'd sure be hustling to disengage myself from this party of hypocritical, self-agrandizing, crooked, dirty liars!!

78. The name of this show needs to be changed. "The View From The Left" would be more appropriate. Elizabeth Hasslebeck is one voice out of 4 (3 co-hosts & "left" guest) and people are still bitching that there is a "right" person on there. Sheeze. Talk about zero intolerence.

79. LET'S SEE....THE FIRST GUEST IS A DRUNK LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. THE NEW HOST IS A BUSH HATING LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. JOY AND ROSIE ARE LIBERAL IGNORANT HATING DEMOCRATS. THE ONLY PERSON WITH CLASS ON THAT SHOW BESIDES BARBARA IS ELIZABETH. SHE IS A TRUE AMERICAN WHO LOVES HER COUNTRY. THE OTHERS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS SHOULD MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND BASH IT CONSTANLY!!!

80. big deal on Whoopi's guests!!! Danny Devito is a hidepus gnome; Rache Ray is a fat-waisted shrill bitch who doesn't coo, as well as most of the women and men in my neighborhood. Now if you want me to go any further I can do a number on Regis Philbin that will redden your cheeks with embarassment. For God 's sake tell Whoopi to get someone of importance or interest..the bloody show isn't even a decent chick thing.

81. All the posters need to get a life. Wow, is your life that boring that you have to make such remarks about someone you don't even know. I really don't think that any one of the posters have been to an Emmy, Oscar or Golden Globe Award show to even come close to having the right to talk about someone like that. There are way too many critics in this world. Just watch and observe. If you don't like what's going on...change the channel!!!

82. Lily. Rosie was still there when Danny Devito was on. He sat on her lap. What's wrong with good English, this country is starting to sound ignorant with the way they speak, in slang words and no proper pronunciations, are kids and some of there teachers don't know how to spell.............................. Kathys remarks were idiotic, I'm speaking of the people staying really crude things. Kelbel, not directed at you personally, there are alot of people on this comment board, but if the shoe fits. Only kidding, My remark was really for the people who comment and really are doing it just to be mean, because there hiding behind there computers.

83. I was hoping Rosie would be the first guy that Whoopi got to interview. Darn!!

84. For the life of me I can not figure why this is newmaking. What is newsmaking is Alberto Gonzalez resignation - not because he did anything wrong, but because obnoxious little drunks like Mr. DiVito are free (thanks to our laws and military) to shoot off their mouths without conscience and drive a decent man out of government. We are living in very scary times.

85. Someone likes Rosie over Elizabeth?? What kind of viewers do you have. And talk about a loud mouth, No body can over talk Joy who is the biggest loud mouth on TV now that Rosie was fired.Don't let the bastards (liberals) get you down Elizabeth!

86. Leland Wade, What could you possibly have to say about Regis Philbin. He is and icon and a wonderful person to watch on TV. He is very nice and silly sometimes, but what's wrong with that, also very entertaining. You're evil......................Also Whoopie has said she is not a liberal, she supports the person she feels will do the best for our country, and so do I. No party involvement, just the best person for the job man or woman.

87. I enjoy the view especially joy and barbara . It should be good with whoopi. I must say I miss Rosie. The only down fall with this show is that Elizabeth. she's quite ignorant. I understand the thought to bring different ages, outlooks together to discuss issues which is a good idea, but give me a break, I think she's the no nothing princess. Hopefully she'll take leave and stays home with the kids if they can stand it!!!

88. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a lady--I know it is hard for a lot of you to accept that--you get your jolles by listening to and supporting loud mouth lesbians, drunken raunchy actors etc. I have never watched the show and have no intention to now--Elizabeth you deserve better.

90. All u haters out there need to shut up. Who cares if DeVito gets a little drunk he is sooooooo funny!!! Little Lizzie needs to wake up and buy herself a clue. If she is such a big supporter of Bush then she needs to take her ass to Iraq and let my friend come home. He has almost been killed twice over there in the last month. He has seen his friends blown in half and killed and he doesn't even know what we r fighting for anymore. It is time to get rid of Elisabeth Hasselcrap!!!!!!!!!
