PanARMENIAN.Net - Whoopi Goldberg has just added a new TV gig to her resume as she has been confirmed to star in ABC's upcoming comedy pilot "Delores & Jermaine". The multi-camera sitcom will tell the life story of comedian Jermaine Fowler, AceShowbiz reports.

Goldberg has signed on to portray the role of "Delores, Jermaine's grandmother who takes him in after he's kicked out of his house. Delores left the police force for a safer job and wound up becoming a football-loving shut-in who, thanks to Jermaine, finally winds up leaving the house," The Hollywood Reporter claims. Fowler's character, meanwhile, is described as "a millennial with big ideas, but very little drive, who moves in with his estranged grandmother - a strict, football-loving, former D.C. cop who needs his youthful enthusiasm in her life as much as he needs her old-school parenting."

Shooting FOR "Delores & Jermaine" will take place in New York with the exact date to be announced later.

Goldberg currently serves as one of the co-hosts on "The View". She's been a moderator/co-host on the show since 2005.
