Goldberg’s head met the Hot Topics table in protest over a boring conversation about breakups.
Sound the alarm: Whoopi Goldberg has collapsed at The View table once again.
The vibes of Thursday morning’s Hot Topics discussion weren’t heated enough to ignite Goldberg’s attention, as the 69-year-old EGOT-winning Ghost and Sister Act star’s head met the table in protest over a boring cohost chat.
Goldberg welcomed the audience back from a commercial break to introduce a conversation about handling breakups — a topic that’s similar to others over which Goldberg has notably collapsed to avoid discussing in the past.Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin on ‘The View’.
The actress’ emergency diversion tactic occurred shortly after Goldberg was shown holding her head in her hands after Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin spoke about romantic entanglements.
“I don’t break up with anyone, I’m the one who gets dumped,” Joy Behar quipped.
Goldberg’s head left her hand and started heading downward toward the table’s glossy surface after Behar said her therapist informed her that she should “find someone who’s pleasant to be with” in life.
The audience laughed as Goldberg went down, with Sara Haines reaching over to grab Goldberg’s arm in support of her friend and colleague.
The studio audience applauded and chuckled when her face planted firmly in front of her, head down at the table.
“Come on, Whoopi. You’ve been married three times. Let’s hear what you have to say!” Behar said.

“I don’t have anything to say,” Goldberg responded. “These are subjects, I don’t understand the point of them, because everybody has to do what they have to do at the time they have to do it.”
Shortly thereafter, the show went to another ad break and saved Goldberg from her struggle.
