Whoopi Goldberg's all set to give her regards to Broadway.

The View host has been tapped to emcee the 62nd Annual Tony Awards June 15 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The hardware will be handed out live on CBS. Nominations for the Great White Way's greatest hits will be announced next Tuesday.

"I'm very excited to be hosting the Tony Awards," said Goldberg, whose trophy case includes a Tony to go along with her Oscar, Golden Globes, Emmy and Grammy.
