The View is television most estrogen-filled hour, but there may soon be some testosterone thrown in as well. People magazine is reporting that the shows producers are considering two gay men for future co-hosts.
The contenders are Mario Cantone and Ross Mathews. Cantone played wedding planner Anthony Marantino on Sex and the City. Ross is The Tonight Show with Jay Lenos Ross the Intern. Theyll both do a test drive on The View next month. Mario will guest co-host on July 12 and Ross will guest co-host on July 17.
A source close to the show told People magazine, "Barbara's really fond of Mario. So who knows?" Recently departed host Rosie ODonnell, on the other hand, is a good friend of Rosss. They often appear on each others blogs.
Former View co-host Debbie Matenopoulos told People, "It is high time they put a gay man on that panel. They've said 'We can't put a man here.' I disagree. Why does it have to be guys against girls? I have a better time and solve more problems sitting with my gay guy friends than my girlfriends!"
