Whoopi Goldberg: EGOT Winner, So Why Is She Here?

[Haleth]

All very good points, Gemma. I do think Whoopi enjoys being on the show regardless of how much she complains, however she’s not willing to go the extra mile with podcasts or selling skin cream or whatever.  She enjoys chatting with guests, especially if it’s someone she’s worked with or known for a while, and I think that’s why ABC still wants her there and is willing to put up with her schtick - guests want to see/meet the great WG.

Whoopi has become that relative like "Grandma" in the house that rants on about stuff she only knows half about from tv or friends, or how it was in her day.

Someone whom everyone tolerates out of superficial respect, but doesn't  really listen to much or take seriously, as they roll their eyes as they walk away from her in midsentence.   

No offense to elderly. Sometimes it's another younger relative or friend who is known as a know- it- all, or somewhat off-kilter upstairs (in their lack of logic but harmless), or just a general pain in the ass.

In my case,  it is one brother-in-law, and my brother who fit the bill at times.

This came up in my Youtube--a few clips of Whoopi in her role in Annie.  I must say, a dress looks really good on her--much more flattering than what she wears on The View.  Her singing leaves a lot to be desired though.

Well that was sweet.  I think that is a different version of the Whoopi on The View.  I did listen to her book and I think that is not the version of Whoopi on The View.

Whoopi looked touched by Sunny being so impressed by her performance, "her gift." I thought it was sweet. I really do respect her talent.

Too bad ABC doesn't do those Live! holiday type shows. Annie with Whoopi as Hannigan would actually be a pretty good idea for one.

Whoopi yelled at ME and some of her co-hosts once too often this morning. I turned off the TV.

1.  I don't like her anyway.

2. I don't enjoy her ALWAYS having the last word...the last LOUD word before commercial breaks.  ALWAYS!

3. Could we start a GoFundMe account for her?

4. It's a waste of time to say (again) that she's wrong more often than right ... but so LOUD no one notices.

5. She needs to disguise or HIDE her disdain for Alyssa.

Why?

[TheGreenKnight]

^ Right? Alyssa shows more open hostility at more members of the panel than just one herself and who can take her seriously when her agenda is transparent to the point of absurdity most of the time these days.
