‘The View’ Whoopi Goldberg Caught Snoozing During Hot Topic
The View moderator, Whoopi Goldberg has had a few trying weeks as the show zooms toward their Thanksgiving break. However, the panelist was extra drowsy during one segment in particular. She gets caught sleeping on the job as she snoozes through one Hot Topic.
The View Panelists Have Been On Edge
Lately, The View panelists have all been on edge. Not long ago, Whoopi Goldberg announced she was closing up shop and going on a sex strike. Likewise, Whoopi had to shut down the show when Sunny Hostin got overly passionate and blocked Alyssa Farah Griffin out of a conversation. But most of the scuffles have all been in part related to the panelists’ grave disappointment from the re-election of former President Donald Trump. Joy Behar confessed she isn’t in “denial,” but she will never accept that the situation is “okay.” As the ladies speed toward a much-needed holiday break, Whoopi couldn’t wait and chose to check out for a little bit during the Tuesday show.
Whoopi Goldberg Announces The Topic Unamused
During the Hot Topic segment, Whoopi Goldberg introduced a discussion over a viral moment that popped up from the Wicked press tour. In an interview with Out Magazine, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have gathered attention. The interviewer, Tracy E. Gilchrist brought up that people are “holding space” for the lyrics to the movie’s song “Defying Gravity.”
Nonchalantly, Whoopi Goldberg says, “Apparently, this has struck a chord with people. Why? I don’t know.” Alyssa and Sunny mimicked the poses that Ariana and Cynthia held when acknowledging the movement. Both were lightly holding hands in support of one another. Then, they playfully broke character and moved on to the discussion.
Whoopi says that seemingly many people are putting their “own spin” on the interview. Additionally, she mentions that Dancing With The Stars has joined in and even the NYC Gay Men’s Chorus. They flashed different posts of people reenacting the scene. Then, they played a new rendition that was sung by the chorus.
Whoopi Goldberg Was Caught Snoozing During Hot Topic
But once Whoopi Goldberg unenthusiastically introduced the Hot Topic at hand, she had nothing more to say. Then, she nestled down in her seat, propped her elbow on the table, and laid her chin on her palm to disengage for a little while. Closing her eyes, she let Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin take over.
Furthermore, the rest of the table giggled and pointed out they had no idea why this was such a big thing. Sara Haines sums it up with a post from X that brings out the satire of the whole situation. Joy points out the audience’s faces were saying, “What the hell?” But Whoopi snoozed on.
What Is ‘Holding Space’?
However, The View panelist, Joy Behar bluntly asks, “What does holding space mean?” However, Sunny Hostin was prepared to answer. She did her homework and brought a definition provided by Psychology Today. She read aloud, it was the “practice of making space for somebody else’s experience and centering them” which “fosters listening and empathizing.” After the meaning was presented, Joy crassly says, “Am I supposed to hold space for Trump supporters now?” Sunny says, “Yeah, you have to hold some space.” Alyssa says, “It’s important.” But she also notes that the press tour being “unhinged” was exactly what the world needed to break them out of their Trump funk.
As the panelists seemed to wrap up their thoughts, Whoopi Goldberg stretched her neck and appeared to “wake” up again. Joy notes, “Whoopi took a nap throughout this entire segment.” But Sunny chimes in, “She’s holding space for her self-care!”

Can not stand to see or hear anything about The View. Nothing but high paid, over politiced, busy-body, narcissistic mouth runners that incite hate and dish out misinformation and straight up lies! Cancel that show permentally and replace it with positive talk. Put them out of their luxurious lifestyles into the real world of working hard for a living and how it is to struggle to pay a mortgage, utility bills and buy food. Bet they get a new perspective about reality and would appreciate Trump for a POTUS that has a real heart to help the real American people with real American dreams!
