Our 7 picks to join ‘The View’

Whoopi Goldberg is the last woman standing on ABC’s “The View.”

After last week’s announcement of the abrupt departures of co-hosts Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy, the show will need at least two replacements for its season premiere in September. One of them might even be a guy.

We have some ideas. Not all of them are sincere.

Joel McHale

Well, he’s not replacing Craig Ferguson when he exits his late-night show at the end of the year. McHale also needs a job now that his NBC comedy “Community” has been canceled.

He’s affable, but enough of a smart aleck to keep Whoopi engaged.

Josh Groban

The award-winning singer and pianist has been steadily polishing his TV resume since his stint as a guest host on “Live With Kelly” before they hired Michael Strahan. This summer, he’s a judge on ABC’s “Rising Star.”

Upscale women love Groban, regularly attending his concerts and buying his music. Would he get along with down-to-earth Whoopi? She would be in awe of his musical accomplishments. But is he a good fit for the show?

Jamie Lee Curtis

Who doesn’t like the actress and Activia pitch person? As a member of Hollywood royalty, Curtis is uniquely qualified to talk about all showbiz topics.

Andy Cohen

The catty host of “Watch What Happens Live” knows how to get a guest to come on and playfully dish on even the most respected icons. He even got Meryl Streep to play “Kill, F - - k, Marry.”

He might be the jolt an old war horse like “The View” needs.

Mark Consuelos

The husband of Kelly Ripa, Consuelos has been a guest host with his wife on numerous occasions. Might she use her influence at the network to advance his name?

As a father, Consuelos would bring an interesting parental perspective to the panel.

Aisha Tyler

Why not? She’s been mentioned as a possible replacement for everyone from Letterman to Colbert. The “Talk” co-host — and host of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” — obviously has her fans.

As a member of “The View” panel, she will reach a wider audience.

Chris Harrison

The eternally bland host of “The Bachelor” is certainly on ABC’s radar, having presided over the ridiculous Mike Fleiss reality dating show for years — and always with a smile.

While he may be a little too LA for Whoopi, he may fit the network’s purposes of having another shill for the prime-time lineup in a daytime slot.

And having another “mature” person on the panel will be a comfort to longtime viewers.
