Whoopi Goldberg's Unplanned Moment on "The View"
2024-11-19
On Monday, November 18, Whoopi Goldberg left the "The View" audience in a state of surprise. During the opening moments of the show, she came perilously close to hitting the deck. However, her quick reflexes allowed her to right herself promptly, and the show continued without any major disruptions, whether it was on or off script. In retrospect, it seems that Goldberg's stumble was more of a misstep with her own two feet rather than an encounter with any external object.

Goldberg's Immediate Response

After the incident, Goldberg sat down and shared her thoughts. She said, "I don't know what I tripped over. It was quite a crazy moment. I was like, skip, skip, skip, and then, ah! I thought, oh no, here I go. But thankfully, I'm steady on my feet now." This shows her ability to handle unexpected situations with grace and composure.

It's not the first time a host of "The View" has faced such a situation. In 2022, Joy Behar, the longest-running co-host of the show, almost fell while getting into her swivel chair during a Hot Topics roundtable. As a result, the show has now switched to non-swivel seats to prevent any more mishaps.

Behar's Past Incident and Her Perspective

At 82 years old, Behar has been a part of "The View" for 26 seasons. She is known for her candidness and sense of humor. When asked about her past fall in her kitchen due to the rubber of her shoe hitting the floor, she said, "I always fall. I'm a bit of a klutz. But what does that have to do with age? Accidents happen, and we just have to keep going."

Goldberg, who has been a co-host since 2007, recently made headlines with her comments about not being able to afford to retire. On her birthday, November 13, she said, "If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here. I'm a working person. My kid has to feed her family, and my great-granddaughter has to be fed by her family. I understand the struggles out there."
