In a delightful twist on ABC's "The View," Whoopi Goldberg, known for her spontaneity, added an unexpected dose of humor to the show's "View Your Deal" segment. The iconic actress, aged 68, known for her roles in "Sister Act" and "Ghost," demonstrated her quick-witted charm, surprising the audience and her co-hosts.
The segment, typically focused on showcasing consumer products, took a comedic turn when Julia Roberts, the beloved "Pretty Woman" star, joined co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines. While discussing Serge Normant's dry conditioner, which Roberts playfully dubbed as "a little wow in a can," Goldberg seized the moment. She unexpectedly dashed onto the stage, grabbing the can from a momentarily startled Roberts, before swiftly disappearing backstage.
This impromptu act from Goldberg sparked a wave of laughter among the guests and co-hosts, including Roberts, Hostin, and Haines. The atmosphere on the set was light-hearted, with Goldberg's playful mood evident throughout the episode. She even adopted a British accent during the "Hot Topics" segment, humorously responding to co-host Ana Navarro's query about her choice of accent with a witty retort.
Goldberg's humor wasn't just confined to lighthearted pranks. In a previous episode, she passionately defended country music legend Dolly Parton against online criticism. Parton had faced backlash for her bedazzled Dallas Cowboys cheerleading outfit worn during her NFL halftime show performance. Undeterred, Goldberg told the critics to "Bite me," emphasizing that they should be ashamed for their comments.
The episode continued with more playful banter, including a moment where Navarro was humorously called out by both Roberts and Goldberg for making a series of sexual innuendos while discussing Roberts' upcoming Netflix thriller "Leave the World Behind." Navarro's pause before adding 'y' to 'sexy' while describing a scene between Roberts and co-star Mahershala Ali prompted laughter and witty remarks from Roberts.
"The View," airing weekdays at 11 a.m. EST on ABC, often blends serious discussion with lighter, entertaining segments. This particular episode, marked by Goldberg's impromptu comedy and the engaging presence of Julia Roberts, showcased the show's ability to mix celebrity insights with unexpected moments of humor, keeping the audience both informed and entertained.
