Whoopi Goldberg collapses on “The View” after Ana Navarro name-drops yet another famous friend
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
In a hilarious moment, Goldberg fell back into her chair and let her arms dangle toward the floor.
First came the Diablo-pocalypse. Then came the army of cacti (not the Meghan McCain brand) and that guy who tried to film The View on his phone while sitting in the audience. Finally, on the third day of this week's telecasts — which also included a studio evacuation because of a fire — moderator Whoopi Goldberg fully had it with the onslaught of terror against her as she collapsed in her seat at the Hot Topics table.
"I have an ongoing game of Words With Friends on my iPad with Martina Navratilova," Navarro said during a Hot Topics discussion — the latest celebrity name-drop from the cohost, who often brings up her friendships with the likes of Gloria Estefan, Eva Longoria, and more.
"Of course," Joy Behar said. "Do you know anybody who's not famous?"
Goldberg's eyes then shot skyward as she leaned back in her chair, letting her arms fall to her sides as if she'd lost consciousness.

Whoopi Goldberg collapses on 'The View'"She lives in Miami. She's a friend of mine," Navarro replied, adding that "Susie Davis" is Behar's "best friend" — though she actually meant Curb Your Enthusiasm star Susie Essman, Behar's actual bestie.
Goldberg remained in her faux-unconscious state for approximately 20 seconds, maintaining her posture even as the show's theme song began to play, signaling an impending commercial break.
Then the Oscar-winning Ghost actress resurrected herself, looked to the camera, and said, "We'll be right back" before placing her head in her hand and shaking it back and forth before the show cut to ads.
Her fake Wednesday collapse marks the third time Goldberg has played into the physical bit over the past year. She first fell to the table in November 2023 and then did it again in January of this year.
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
