8.5/10-
Some of her pre-recorded bits were sort of stupid, but her Mary Poppins? Hysterical! She should do it next year. I think she'll be even better. The show was better than last year and rather entertaining. Here's my question? Can't they get a new set? It's been four years!

Posted: 6/16/08 at 12:59pmStale. All of her costume changes putting her in all the Broadway shows were flat and had no punch line. Big deal, she can change costumes...but then DO something or SAY something. What a bore.

I thought she was rather boring. The little show stints fell flat and she could have done so much better with the jokes.
Overall 6/10.

Posted: 6/16/08 at 1:06pmI thought she was FANTASTIC!!! I loved all the various costumes she came out in! Mary Poppins was my favorite - they were all great though!

Posted: 6/16/08 at 1:11pmI enjoyed watching her "performing" in the various musicals. The Whoopi Chorus Line freaked me out a bit. Lol.

I thought she did a great job. This year they really brought attention to the whole Broadway community (especially with the longrunning shows talking about the many stagehands and wig artists etc. that work on Broadway).
I just watched the beginning of The View and she had nothing but good things to say about her hosting experience. Mostly I was struck by how appreciative she was of the opportunity to host and bring more attention to the wonderfulness that is Broadway.
I would be very happy if they decided to bring her back next year!

Whoopi was FAN – FREAKING – TASTIC!!! My favorites were the Mary Poppins, Phantom of the Opera, and Spring Awakening.
When Phantom started performing, I was like “what the heck is he doing here??” and then Whoopi puts her head up and she starts singing – LMAO!!!!

I thought the funniest part was when they were at the Thank You Cam, and she was like, "Debbie Allen, I could've been in Cat in a Hot Tin Roof. I could've been Big Mama. Look at my behind! I am Big Mama!
or Morgan Freeman.. There ain't no one more country than me! I could've been in The Country Girl! and start roller your eyes."

Posted: 6/16/08 at 5:45pmShe was perfect except in the bit where she pretended she didn't know the Thank You Cam was on. That was ridiculously stupid.

I've seen 3 (supposedly) different people say she was stale. It's fine if you didn't like her, just come up with your own friggin adjectives! C'mon!
I loved her. She had a lot of energy, she was really enthusiastic and she made me laugh. What else do you want?

Posted: 6/16/08 at 9:50pmi love how she commands the audience's attention from the moment she steps on stage. she is hilarious, and i loved her as a host.

Posted: 6/16/08 at 10:17pmShe was great in an otherwise ordinary show. The Clarence Thomas bit cracked me up, Mary Poppins was great, and I loved her hair. 15/10
