‘The View’ Whoopi Goldberg Reveals Illness On-Air
Whoopi Goldberg recently shared that she was struggling with her health in a recent episode of The View. This also comes out after the star was missing during an earlier episode in the week. Fans have also been taking to social media to share their sympathies with the co-host.
Whoopi Goldberg Explained What Was Going On During A Recent Episode Of The View
Goldberg is known for her work as an actress and a comedian. Since 2007, she has also become known as a co-host on The View.
Traditionally, Goldberg doesn’t appear during Friday episodes, outside of a few special occasions. However, a recent absence on the show recently had fans worried for Goldberg.
During the past Thursday episode, Whoopi could be heard with a softer voice than usual. Looking right at the camera, the star decided to address the elephant in the room.
Goldberg explained, “So, before I go any further, I have to explain what’s happening. I have a cold and it’s kicking my behind. Yes, it is.”
The star also assured, “And it’s not making me cranky, but it’s making me quiet. So, I’m not funny today.”
Fortunately, Goldberg found words of support from her co-hosts at the table. Joy Behar assured her, “That’s all right,” and told her to “Take it easy.”
Meanwhile, upon hearing Whoopi wouldn’t be funny today, Sara Haines also reassured her, “Oh, you’re funny,” but advised, “Very quietly, so.”
Goldberg grew more confident and began to segue into current events. As she opened things up, “All right. Well, let me tell you what happened yesterday.”
The episode also featured Kelsey Grammer and Matteo Lane as guest stars. Grammer, who had written a new memoir, discussed his late sister, who had been murdered in 1975. Lane discussed his new cookbook and upcoming comedy special.
Goldberg Was Also Absent From The Previous Day’s Episode
Although Goldberg was still dealing with her cold on the show, she still seemed to be getting better. After all, she has missed the previous day’s episode.
At the time, Behar explained her co-host wasn’t feeling well and was filling in for her. As she opened things up, “Welcome to The View! Whoopi’s got some kind of little bug. Not COVID, though. Not COVID. She was wearing a mask yesterday, she wasn’t feeling well, but she’s coming back tomorrow, supposedly, if she feels better.”
On social media, fans shared their sympathies with Goldberg. This concerned both her absence on the Wednesday episode and her appearance during the Thursday episode. A few even advised she should take some more time off to get better. Some comments include:
- “Get well soon Whoop! Wish she was here to weigh in on this pivotal trial I definitely wanted to hear her point of view.”
- “Whoopi Goldberg looked a little sick yesterday so that’s why she’s probably not on the show today.”
- “This is one of the best episodes. Feel better, Whoopi.”
- “Love the affection shown between Sarah and Whoopi.”
- “Sending prayers of healing to Whoopi.”
- “Whoopi sounds like you should have stayed home and take care of yourself so you don’t end up with pneumonia again! Hope none of the staff get sick. It is OK to take care of yourself, honest.”

Does it have anything to do with her black heart?
Being a poster child for mental illness must be tough for her
takes 1 to know 1! 🤔
You sound nice.🙄🙄
Classy! /s/
it has too, she is the most prejudice women and for years I said her evilness would come back to haunt and BOO there it is
I heard she has testicular cancer.
I guess she has the same symptoms as ur mother, that’s why u think that! 😂🤣
I knew it was too good to be true! I was hoping she was leaving the show for good. Sooo Sick & Tired of her, as well as, the other hosts constantly spewing Lies on a daily basis about Trump & his Admin. Non-stop Gaslighting, along with MS Media (an Arm of the Democratic Party), to keep the public from voting Republican. That entire show should be cancelled. Several have been sued!!
My motto is DT! Means Dump Trump!
so move to Canada
you do know you can change the channel… right
Thank you! I thought I was the only one that was capable of that lol
They’re all sickening and repulsive! Low life liars who are so deluded they think they are special! !!
why keep watching shows u don’t like? how dumb are u?
So just turn off the TV, Genius!
Oh Karen… I mean Leslie
Probably easier for you to just find another show…
Sounds easy enough to me 🤔
I hope it’s nothing serious.
Karma
Maybe she should have watched all the hateful things she has said about people….God don’t like UGLY and Whoopie has been very ugly and by the way she’s ugly #KarmaIsABitch. Revelations
so she doesn’t feel well in a world of millions dying,boo hoo , thought she was leaving the country if Trump was elected,soooo why are you still here?
oh no she finally found out she was born without a brain.
Vile nasty disgusting humans on here … something wrong with Ya’ll hoping She is sooo sick. Seek help! Your Momma’s should be ashamed of the Monsters they raised! In my opinion …
I agree. It’s sad that some people allow total strangers affect them in such a way that it makes THEM look bad. It’s as simple as turning the channel and watching something diffrent. I reguse to allow anyone to interrupt my joy. Especially a TV personality that doenn’t even know I exsist.
Lmao but you still watch Everyday … that makes You a fan Baybeeee. And lies? Google the amount T-Rump has told in term 1. Can you imagine what that # is today? “ALiarLikeWeHaveNeverSeenBefore”
I don’t want to see anyone sick. I hope she gets better soon. I wish everyone here well. But some of yall need to reevaluate yourselves. Some of the comments are so hateful its mindblowing. If you don’t like something/someone, its simple, don’t watch/inguage with that person/show. Everyone is intitled to their opinion, but keep it respectful. Little are you aware that your comments reflect on you as a person. Ugly, disrespectful comments male you ugly and disrespectful. Is that how you want to be seen?? There is a right way to disagree without being ugly and/or disrespectful. This world id filled with far to much anger, meanness, disrespect and hatred. We must do our best to change the narrative of this. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing. And you never know what someone else is going through in their lives. As the saying goes, “…until you walk is someone elses shoes…”. It doesn’t matter what one has in a bank account, death and sickness will hit everyone, in every walk of life, so lets try to be better at understanding. If there’s a TV personality thay rubs you the wrong way, it’s simple enough, don’t watch them, turn the channel, move on to something else. It’s simple as that. Why continue to watch and feed the dislike and hatred?? Who does it benifit? That TV personality doesn’t even know you exsist, yet you have allowed them to change your mood for the day. While they keep on living their lives without missing a step. I hope this makes sense and helps you move on. IJS
Remember God, doesn’t like ugly so stop being ugly !
