• Will Raven-Symoné or Mario Cantone Replace Rosie O'Donnell on 'The View'?

    Several weeks after Rosie O'Donnell ended her stint on ABC's 'The View,' those working behind the scenes have beem scrambling to figure out what comes next. O'Donnell's tension with Whoopi Goldberg was palpable even on camera, so with her exit things are naturally a bit calmer, but the show is still hanging by a thread. The ratings have been absolutely awful and the environment at times is so toxic that even Barbara Walters refuses to return even as a guest host. While cancellation seems a good possibility, the producers are still trying to figure out what new talent really works at the roundtable, and a few front runners for regular spots have emerged. Who could replace her at on the daytime chatfest? According to a report by Radar Online, "They really like Raven-Symoné and [comedian] Mario Cantone could get a recurring contract. They will have a more in-depth selection process than last time. The panel that debuts in the fall fall will be the panel for the year. Ever since Rosie left, the cast is all at peace. Everyone really realizes the show isn't doing that well, but at least there's peace behind the scenes now," says an insider.

  • Mario Cantone's Future at 'View' Unknown

    The last year has been a time of complete turmoil for ABC's 'The View.' Between revolving cast members, Barbara Walters leaving and the epic fights between Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg it has hardly been a great environment to work in. While O'Donnell deciding to quit only six months into her contract may have eased some of the obvious tension, it certainly has not fixed anything and you are hard-pressed to find anyone with something good to say about the once-great daily roundtable show. Mario Cantone often sits in as a regular guest on the show and seems to be one of the few people who still loves chatting with the ladies.
