Since joining The View in 2007, Whoopi Goldberg has been a beloved host and moderator on the popular talk show. During the show on Wednesday, November 13, the crew celebrated Goldberg’s 69th birthday with a mix of games and lighthearted banter to honor the Oscar-winning actress. One moment in particular had the studio audience in fits of laughter. In the segment, Goldberg was seen posing behind a wheel of cheese with her face printed on it.
Co-host Sara Haines couldn’t help but comment, “I’ve always dreamed of seeing my face on cheese.” Goldberg, with her signature wit, replied with a playful comment about how much she enjoys eating cheese. However, her response had an unexpected and risqué undertone that left Haines momentarily stunned. She walked off in mock disbelief while the audience erupted into a mix of gasps, cheers, and laughter. Realizing the double meaning of her words, Goldberg joked, “Never mind,” before describing the cheese as a premium 24-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano from Italy.
Haines eventually returned to the stage, doing her best to stifle her laughter. She hugged Goldberg, who kept the humor going by encouraging the audience to “eat Whoopi Goldberg” for a chance to win a cheese wheel like the one she was presenting. The lively exchange was all in good fun, showcasing the humor and chemistry that make The View so entertaining.
This wasn’t the first time Goldberg surprised her fans with a candid revelation. Earlier this year, she made headlines when she shared an emotional yet unconventional story about scattering her mother’s ashes. In her memoir and during an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Goldberg revealed that she chose a meaningful location for her mother’s final resting place: Disneyland.
Goldberg explained that as a child, she and her mother cherished the It’s a Small World ride, which debuted at the World’s Fair. To honor her mother’s memory, Goldberg discreetly scattered small portions of the ashes during multiple visits to the park. With her characteristic humor, she recounted pretending to sneeze while dropping a bit of ash on the ride or among Disneyland’s flowers, all while reminding viewers, “No one should do this!”
Whoopi Goldberg’s unique mix of humor and heartfelt stories continues to make her a standout presence on The View. Whether it’s a hilarious birthday moment or an emotional personal anecdote, she knows how to keep audiences engaged and entertained.
