Hollywood (EON) – The View managed to get its second-best premiere rating ever with 3.4 million viewers on Tuesday for the debut of Whoopi Goldberg.

The only problem though for the 10-year-old show is that the best season premiere rating ever was last year when Rosie O’Donnell made her debut. She has since left the show leaving Whoopi Goldberg to fill in her position.

The premiere with O’Donnell beat out the premiere with Whoopi as Rosie managed to pull in a very nice 3.6 million viewers compared to 3.4 million for Whoopi Goldberg.

Rosie O’Donnell left the view back in May after one full season.

Another co-host to fill in the spot of Star Jones is also expected to be named on Monday. Actress Sherri Shepherd it seems is going to be filling in thsi role as she is expected to be announced as a new cast member on The View by Barbara Walters next week.
