Whoopi was closing out a segment about Sesame Street when she had to ask for off-screen assistance.
Talking about the beloved children’s TV show, Whoopi said: “It’s one of the great things that Sesame Street did for adults.
“It reminded us that kids are people too, and go through the same kind of stuff. And nobody does it better for kids than Sesame Street.”
The 67-year-old glanced down at her notes, and then abruptly asked off-camera: “Is this an actual wrap or is this a wrap to go somewhere else?”
A voice pitched in from off-stage, with the camera quickly switching over to show a producer keeping tabs on the show.
The producer confirmed that it was an “actual wrap,” meaning that the show had come to an end.
Whoopi moved to end the show as the rest of the panel members giggled, with the daytime TV host quickly going through her goodbyes to the audience and promising she’d see them tomorrow.
ACTING OUT
Whoopi’s seeming lack of attention comes amid continuing pressure for the star to leave The View.
Reportedly, the show’s executives are “tired” of Whoopi’s “toxic” behavior and have asked her to leave the show.
Bosses are rumored to be begging the comedian to quit the ABC program after serving as show moderator for 15 years.
In February 2022, Whoopi was suspended from The View for two weeks because of what network ABC called her “wrong and hurtful comments” about Jewish people and the Holocaust.
The comedian claimed that the Holocaust – which resulted in the deaths of roughly 6 million Jewish people between 1941 to 1945 – was not about “race.”
In December, Whoopi seemingly repeated her claim about the Holocaust.
TAKE A BREAK
An insider told Radar Online in December that executives have “grown tired of Whoopi’s constant on-air episodes and believe they are driving viewers away.”
The source added: “Whoopi seems to be picking fights all the time. She makes things very toxic.
“It’s clear she’s very unhappy. Everyone’s begging her to step aside for her sake and the sake of the show.”
The insider claimed Whoopi has been struggling with her physical health as a result of work stresses.
“Her health has been suffering, and she always seems to be ready for a brawl,” they said.
“It’s at the point where the constant fighting is literally killing her.”
