Whoopi was explaining her views on polls to The View newbie Alyssa Farrah Griffin, 33.
“I think polls are crazy because people make them say what they want them to say when they want them to say it, and how they want them to say it.”
But the actress then calmed down and looked beyond the camera as she told a crew member: “I see you. I see you.”
The panelists laughed before Ana Navarro continued the conversation.

“Today is the last day to register to vote in a bunch of states. People need to check that out. Register,” she said.
“Yes they do,” Whoopi echoed.
She pointed at the camera and said: “We will go get you that information when we come back because… the man with the blue card,” referring to the crew member.
Whoopi then waved her hand and waved the papers on her desk as the show cut to its first commercial break.

‘WHAT REALLY WORRIES ME’
However, it wasn’t the first time this week that the Emmy Award winner has outed a member of The View’s behind-the-scenes crew.
On Thursday, she and the panelists were engaged in a debate about Alex Jones’ Sandy Hook defamation damages trial.
But she quickly steered away from the topic as she told viewers: “But you know what? What really worries me is when you know, Rob, is over there,” as she pointed to their floor manager.
“And he’s holding up the sign, and he’s holding up the sign,” she said as the camera showed Rob waving while wearing his headset.
Whoopi pulled a sarcastic face as she told viewers: “We’ll be right back.”

As well as Ana and Alyssa, Whoopi is regularly joined on the panel by Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and The View’s only original panelist, Joy Behar.
