It will be Whoopi and Tony.

Whoopi Goldberg will serve as host of the 2008 Tony Awards Sunday, June 15, at Radio City Music Hall. CBS will telecast the 62nd annual ceremonies live from 8 to 11 p.m.

“I love Broadway and I’m thrilled to be doing anything for the first time,” said Goldberg, who’s hosted the Academy Awards four times. “I’m gonna have a blast.”

Goldberg, a regular on ABC’s The View, has been on Broadway with her own one-woman show, as well as in revivals of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Nominations will be announced tomorrow.

Speaking of theater — Harry Connick Jr. and George and Ira Gershwin are Broadway’s newest trio.

The jazz pianist-singer will return to Broadway in spring 2009 in Nice Work If You Can Get It, a new musical comedy using Gershwin standards, producer Scott Landis announced.

Connick will play a Long Island playboy in the show, which will feature a book by Joe DiPietro, one of the authors of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change; music by George Gershwin; and lyrics by Ira Gershwin.

Nice Work will have a pre-Broadway run at Boston’s Colonial Theatre Dec. 16 through Jan. 11, with preview performances on Broadway in February and a March opening.
