After being named as one of a hand full of people who could possibly replace host David Letterman of the "Late Show," Whoopi Goldberg debunked the allegation.




Once Letterman announced his plans to retire from the "Late Show" last week, guesstimations arose on who would take his spot.




Goldberg, who is already a co-host on ABC's "The View," was mentioned as a likely candidate.




On a Monday edition of her daytime talk show, Goldberg shutdown the rumors saying, "What do you mean? I've got a job here. I work for ABC."




During the weekend, Jay Leno revealed that he can't imagine someone actually replacing Letterman.




"I don't know a lot of good people out there," said Leno.




On last Thursday's recording of the "Late Show," Letterman said he plans to retire in the year of 2015.




"The man who owns this network, Leslie Moonves, he and I have had a relationship for years and years and years, and we have had this conversation in the past, and we agreed that we would work together on this circumstance and the timing of this circumstance. And I phoned him just before the program, and I said 'Leslie, it's been great, you've been great, and the network has been great, but I'm retiring,'" Letterman said to his audience.
