Whoopi To Host Broadway's Tony Awards

As she announced herself this morning on The View (which she co-hosts), Whoopi Goldberg will be the host of the 62nd Annual Tony Awards, which will broadcast live on CBS on June 15. Whoopi appeared on Broadway only a couple years ago in a solo show, and she also occasionally serves as a producer of Broadway shows. "I love Broadway and I'm thrilled to be doing anything for the first time," she said about the Tony gig, "I'm gonna have a blast."
