Thu 02 Aug 12:20 PM

Sister Act star Whoopi Goldberg has bagged a new job, co-hosting popular US TV show The View.

The Oscar-winning actress/comedienne will replace outspoken presenter Rosie O'Donnell on the morning chat show, where a panel of women discuss the latest topics and interview celebrities.

Whoopi has already appeared on The View several times during its 10 year run as a special guest, and producers say she was their first choice for the job.

O'Donnell quit the show at the beginning of the summer following a series of fights with co-hosts and producers.

Meanwhile, Whoopi will continue to act in films, her next being drama Homie Spumoni.
