Whoopi Goldberg STUNS ‘The View’ With X-Rated Birthday Joke: Sara Haines Walks Off in Shock as Audience HOWLS

Whoopi Goldberg has never been shy about saying exactly what’s on her mind — but her latest off-the-cuff remark on The View left her co-hosts gasping, her audience roaring, and her colleague Sara Haines literally walking off set in mock horror.

The occasion? Goldberg’s 69th birthday celebration on the long-running ABC talk show.

The mood was festive, the segment was lighthearted, and the panel was in high spirits as they unveiled “Whoopi’s Favorite Things.” But when a wheel of parmesan cheese emblazoned with Goldberg’s face rolled out on stage, the EGOT winner delivered an NSFW quip that sent daytime TV straight into late-night territory.

Whoopi’s Birthday Bash Turns Risqué

The Nov.

13 episode was supposed to be a joyful celebration of Whoopi’s life, career, and indulgences.

The cheese — imported, extravagant, and proudly etched with Goldberg’s likeness — was meant to be a quirky tribute to her Italian and travel-inspired favorites.

But as Sara Haines marveled at the unique food-art creation, exclaiming: “I always wanted my face on cheese,” Goldberg seized the moment with a line that will live in The View’s blooper reels forever.

“I like to be eaten from time to time,” Goldberg deadpanned.

The audience erupted into laughter.

Haines’s jaw dropped.

And in a split-second reaction that felt more sitcom than talk show, Haines slowly turned around, pivoted toward the stage’s edge, and mock-dramatically walked away.

The studio roared louder.

Sara Haines’s Comedy Gold Response

Ever the good sport, Haines quickly returned, laughing and wrapping her arms around Whoopi.

“Never mind,” Goldberg teased, pretending she hadn’t just delivered the most eyebrow-raising line of the day.

But the moment didn’t end there.

As Goldberg went on to describe the history of the parmesan and teased a giveaway for the audience, Haines saw her chance to deliver the perfect callback.

“And eat Whoopi Goldberg!” she shouted.

“That’s right,” Goldberg giggled back.

It was the kind of unscripted, wild moment that daytime TV executives secretly dream of — one that goes viral without crossing the line into scandal.

Daytime TV Meets Late-Night Humor

What made the moment so memorable wasn’t just the joke itself — it was the sheer brazenness of it.

Goldberg didn’t blink, didn’t backtrack, and didn’t apologize.

In her typical style, she owned it, laughed it off, and moved the show along.

For longtime fans of The View, it was peak Whoopi: unfiltered, hilarious, and unapologetically herself.

It also underscored a truth about Goldberg’s role on the show.

While her co-hosts often fill segments with policy debates, celebrity chatter, and carefully-worded banter, Whoopi remains the wildcard.

She brings the element of unpredictability — the spark that can turn a routine promo into national headlines.

And this time, that unpredictability took the form of a cheeky double entendre that daytime viewers will not soon forget.

Whoopi’s Birthday Spotlight: More Than Just Cheese

The risqué joke was just one part of Goldberg’s 69th birthday celebrations.

Beyond the Favorite Things segment, Goldberg was honored with other tributes.

She was also announced as the newest face of Ami’s fall/winter 2024 fashion campaign — a bold move that cemented her status as an unlikely but undeniable fashion icon.

According to Ami’s press release, the campaign aims to capture “the essence of Whoopi herself: a contagious smile, charismatic stature and tender glance.”

It’s not every day that a 69-year-old talk show host is branded a fashion “It-Girl.” But Goldberg, with her signature glasses, oversized sweaters, and effortless confidence, has always made her own rules.

And clearly, those rules now extend to food, fashion, and even risqué birthday jokes.

The Sister Act Update That Broke Fans’ Hearts

Of course, Goldberg’s career remains as busy as ever.

While celebrating her birthday, she also gave fans updates on her long-awaited projects.

One of the most bittersweet announcements came regarding Sister Act 3, the third installment of the beloved musical comedy franchise.

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Goldberg confirmed that the film is still moving forward, but with a heavy heart.

Following the passing of Maggie Smith — who played Mother Superior in the original films — Goldberg admitted the production team is making adjustments.

“We’re having to make some readjustments because we just lost Maggie Smith,” Goldberg said.

“And so, we will get it done.

It’s just, it’s a shift.”

For fans, it was a painful reminder that even the most joyful projects come with real-life losses.

But Goldberg’s determination to finish the film signals her deep respect for the franchise and her late co-star.

From Talk Show Host to Broadway Villain

If that weren’t enough, Goldberg is also heading back to the stage.

Starting Dec.

11, she will star as Miss Hannigan in Annie at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

For anyone who has followed her career, it’s a perfect fit.

Goldberg has long balanced comedy with dramatic flair, and Miss Hannigan’s mix of villainy and humor will give her room to shine in front of live audiences once again.

Between Broadway, fashion, The View, and Sister Act 3, it seems turning 69 hasn’t slowed Whoopi Goldberg down one bit.

The Joke Heard ‘Round the Internet

Unsurprisingly, the clip of Goldberg’s NSFW quip went viral within hours.

Fans flooded social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to admiration.

“Did Whoopi just say she likes to be eaten on national television???” one user tweeted, racking up thousands of likes.

Another quipped: “Whoopi Goldberg gave me the laugh I didn’t know I needed.

Protect this woman at all costs.”

The memes came quickly too.

One viral edit showed a parmesan wheel rolling across the screen with the caption: “Whoopi’s Favorite Things, NSFW edition.”

Why It Matters

In the end, the moment was more than just a viral soundbite.

It was a reminder of why Goldberg has remained relevant for decades.

She isn’t afraid to shock, she isn’t afraid to laugh at herself, and she isn’t afraid to say what everyone else is too polite to say out loud.

In a world of carefully scripted daytime TV, Whoopi Goldberg remains gloriously unpredictable.

And whether you found her birthday joke hilarious, cringe-worthy, or somewhere in between, one thing is certain: she got people talking.

And that’s exactly what Whoopi does best.

The Final Word

At 69, Whoopi Goldberg is still making headlines, still cracking jokes that test the limits of daytime TV, and still reminding audiences why she’s one of Hollywood’s most enduring figures.

On her birthday episode of The View, she proved she doesn’t just accept getting older — she embraces it with humor, boldness, and maybe just a little bit of parmesan.

And as for Sara Haines? She might want to practice her mock walk-offs, because something tells us this won’t be the last time Goldberg shocks the panel.
