LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘The View’ is renowned for giving birth to controversies and heated moments between its panelists and the guests but rarely comes a time when the bitter discussions take a back seat and a lively moment engulfs the television screens. However, such a moment transpired when ‘Good Morning America’ host Michael Strahan graced the studio of ‘The View’ and sat among the hosts for a friendly chat. 

Strahan frequently appears on the talk show and is always welcomed by its hosts. The former NFL star was present on Monday, July 10, broadcast for a quick discussion when host Alyssa Farah Griffin mentioned the game show ‘The $100,000 Pyramid’ which Strahan is currently hosting. But when Strahan invited host Whoopi Goldberg to the show, she smiled and rejected his proposal.

‘Not gonna happen, babe’

Griffin welcomed Strahan on ‘The View’ and spoke about ‘The $100,000 Pyramid’, a game show that the ‘GMA’ star has started hosting. Griffin explained the rules of the game and mentioned that celebrities are a part of the game. Strahan instantly looked at Goldberg, nodding, and suggested that she would be a good contestant on the game show.

He said, “So Whoopi, you'd be great. That's all I'm saying.” The camera panned to Goldberg, who grinned slightly and said, "Not gonna happen, babe.” She further added, "But I do like watching, I have to say, I do like watching.” She then praised Strahan for his skills as a host and said, ”It's a lot of fun, and you make it fun,” while the others in the studio ended up laughing.

Whoopi Goldberg’s NSFW talk on ‘The View’

Goldberg recently revealed a crucial aspect of her sex life on ‘The View.’ The 67-year-old introduced a Hot Topic about new research showing more people in their 50s getting divorced prompting different responses from the panel on the talk show. However, Goldberg later said, “This idea that older people don’t know how to get it on, how do you think we got here?” She then added, “We know what we’re doing!” 

Host Sunny Hostin who was listening intently to Goldberg interrupted with a question and asked, "Do you go younger or older?” Goldberg smiled and revealed, “Depends,” before joking that she wasn’t talking about the 'underwear' brand. “We’ll be right back," as per Decider. Goldberg quickly said, smiling and raising her eyebrows cheekily, as she sent the show to commercial. Although this wasn’t the first time Goldberg spoke about her sex life on the talk show.
