On November 13, The View turned into a birthday bash for longtime host Whoopi Goldberg, celebrating her 69th year. As part of the festivities, the team unveiled a humorous prop—a large wheel of cheese with Goldberg’s face printed on it. It didn’t take long for the moment to turn into comedic gold.
Sara Haines, amused by the display, remarked, “I’ve always dreamed of my face on cheese.” Goldberg’s quick-witted reply took everyone by surprise, as it carried an unexpected risqué undertone. Haines dramatically walked off the stage, pretending to be shocked, while the studio audience erupted with laughter. Goldberg, realizing the hilarity of the situation, playfully tried to move on, describing the cheese as a premium Italian Parmigiano Reggiano.
Haines eventually returned, hugging Goldberg and giggling, while Goldberg doubled down on the joke, urging viewers to embrace her humor. “Win a cheese wheel, or better yet, eat Whoopi Goldberg!” she quipped. The moment encapsulated Goldberg’s ability to create unforgettable television with her quick humor and magnetic presence.
This wasn’t the first time Goldberg had shared a memorable moment. Earlier in the year, she spoke about scattering her mother’s ashes at Disneyland. She explained how she secretly spread small amounts of the ashes during her visits, particularly on the It’s a Small World ride—a sentimental favorite for her and her mother.
In her signature style, Goldberg mixed humor with poignancy, recounting how she’d pretend to sneeze while scattering the ashes. She also joked about sneaking them into the park’s flowers. Her honesty and humor struck a chord with many, showing once again why she’s such a beloved figure.
