Let's take the yellow brick road to the Wicked movie that might have been.
While the movie musical starring Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey based on the 2003 Broadway hit is…
Whoopi
Whoopi Goldberg isn’t afraid to get a little risqué.
During a segment on the Nov. 13 episode of The View—which coincided with Whoopi’s 69th birthday—the EGOT winner highlighted some of her favorite items alongside cohost Sara Haines, including a giant wheel of cheese imprinted with Whoopi’s face.
“I always wanted my face on cheese,” Sara quipped as they approached the dairy product, to which Whoopi deadpanned, “I like to be eaten from time to time.”
As the audience laughed and cheered at the comment, Sara, 47, abruptly walked off camera—only to return moments later and hug her cohost, who quipped, “Nevermind.”
But Sara ultimately had the last laugh, interjecting when Whoopi attempted to close out the segment.
“If you’d like a chance to win a wheel just like this one,” Whoopi began, before Sara exclaimed, “and eat Whoopi Goldberg!”
Of course, Sara is no stranger to jaw-dropping on-air moments, even if they’re at her own expense.
Whoopi Goldberg works hard for her money.
And she is showing no signs of slowing down. While discussing to the many economy-centered responses to New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent social media question asking followers what swayed their decision to vote the way they did during the 2024 Elections, Whoopi expressed why she can empathize with them—as she feels she’s in the same boat.
“I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me, too. I work for a living,” the Color Purple star told fellow co-host Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Ava Navarro and Sara Haines during the Nov. 12 episode of The View. “If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, okay? So, I’m a working person, you know?”
The 69-year-old host stressed that she isn’t the only person in her family that has to work.
“My kid has to feed her family. My great-granddaughter has to be fed by her family. I know it’s hard out there,” she added. “I love what she [Ocasio-Cortez] did. We talk to people all the time who say, ‘This is what’s bothering me.’ But the thing that’s bothering everybody should not be the thing that puts 85 percent of other people in danger. I think that’s what we’re saying.”
