Viewers may be cringing anytime Raven-Symoné opens her mouth, but apparently, there are folks who want the former child star to become a permanent fixture on the daytime TV series. Among the select few who are hopeful that this happens is veteran “View” host Whoopi Goldberg.
“We love saying it, but Raven and Michelle will be back tomorrow,” Goldberg said. “We’re trying to make it permanent, so write in to everybody.”
Raven and Michelle Collins have appeared as guest co-hosts one the talk show over a dozen times since March and according to a Page Six source, ABC executives are interested in bringing the 29-year-old on full-time.
“She was interesting and provocative,” the ABC insider said. “Raven would be great as a regular host.”
It’s unclear what the holdup is, but it seems that this will probably become a reality at some point. Since beginning her stint as a guest host on the series, Raven has made headlines for her controversial views. In recent weeks, she became a headline favorite after expressing that she didn’t like the idea of Harriet Tubman’s face being printed on the $20 bill.
While many of her views rub me the wrong way, everyone is entitled to their opinions and I’ll never be against a young Black woman making positive strides to advance her career. Perhaps Raven has found her niche and that case, I’m happy for her.
