Whoopi Goldberg’s 69th birthday brought plenty of laughter and surprises to The View on November 13. Among the festivities, the hosts presented a quirky birthday gift: a wheel of cheese adorned with Goldberg’s face. It didn’t take long for the hilarious moment to escalate.
Sara Haines, clearly amused, joked, “I’ve always wanted to see my face on cheese.” Goldberg, with her trademark wit, responded with a comment that, while humorous, carried a playful and risqué implication. Haines, caught off guard, hilariously walked off the stage, leaving the audience in stitches. Goldberg quickly caught on and added, “Never mind,” before describing the cheese as a top-quality 24-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
Haines eventually returned to join Goldberg on stage, trying her best to maintain composure. Goldberg, not missing a beat, added to the fun by encouraging fans to “eat Whoopi Goldberg” as part of the celebration. The entire exchange left the audience laughing and reminded viewers why Goldberg’s humor is such a highlight of the show.
Earlier in the year, Goldberg shared a touching story about scattering her late mother’s ashes. She explained how she chose Disneyland as the resting place because it was a place filled with cherished memories, particularly the It’s a Small World ride.
In her usual blend of humor and sentiment, Goldberg described pretending to sneeze as a way to discreetly scatter the ashes during the ride and around the park. She joked about the unconventional approach while reminding people, “No one should do this!” The story highlighted Goldberg’s unique ability to connect with her audience through humor and heartfelt moments alike.
