LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Each week's episode of 'The View' becomes the highlight of the show with Whoopi Goldberg making headlines for some or the other reason. While last week's episode was all about Goldberg revealing her "underpants" situation, this week Goldberg is at it again. This week's episode saw Whoopi Goldberg making a big blunder on live tv and snapping at the production for it. Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, star of the upcoming 'Fast X', joined 'The View' this week to promote his movie.

When it came to making an announcement about Chris' arrival, Goldberg made a silly mistake. She began to call him and said, "You know, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges is back…in 'TEJ'…no." Whoopi then clearly looked irritated and confused as she corrected herself and said, "No, he's in Fast and Furious X." As Whoopi continued with, "I don't know why I said 'Tej'" the crowd erupted in laughter and took the embarrassing moment away.

'Don't write this kind of stuff'

After making a major blunder, co-host Sara Haines kindly offered to help Goldberg and said, "That's the name of his character in the movie." To which, Goldberg yelled and said, "Don't write this kind of stuff!" and repeated that again with a more calm demeanor. After a while, Whoopi was seen calming down and bringing Ludacris to the table for a little chat.

Does Whoopi Goldberg do quirky things on purpose?

While Whoopi Goldberg is always the highlight of the show, she is also someone who brings 'The View' to the front page and for all the wrong reasons. On Wednesday's episode, Goldberg indulged in some uncomfortable topic that wasn't even the point of discussion. While talking about what to pack for a vacation, Goldberg sidelined the conversation and talked about how many underwear to pack for a vacation and while she would like to share that, she can't because she doesn't wear any. As soon as the statement was made, it made the co-hosts and audience quite uncomfortable. Whoopi Goldberg was also the talk of the town recently when she ended the show early. She gave the outro before the cameras cut back over to the other hosts.
