Whoopi Goldberg Asks for Snacks on ‘The View’: “Where Are My Chips?”

Whoopi Goldberg got a little salty on this morning’s episode of The View. The co-host, who was leading a Super Bowl recap show at the Hot Topics table, halted her own introduction to make sure she and her co-hosts would be served some previously promised snacks before they got too deep into the day’s chat.

After welcoming the viewers to Monday’s episode and congratulating the Kansas City Chiefs on their Super Bowl win, Goldberg looked off camera and made a quick request.

“Anyhoo, where are my chips? Where’s all my chips and stuff?” she asked.

A voice off camera (presumably View executive producer Brian Teta) assured the co-host, “They’re coming, they’re coming. We got ’em.”

Goldberg objected, replying, “this is the beginning of the show,” but sure enough, a staffer appeared onstage carrying all sorts of snacks.

“Let’s go, yeah!” Goldberg exclaimed as she and the rest of the Hot Topics table were presented with an array of chips, popcorn and other snacks.

Pleased with the bounty of treats, Goldberg carried on with that morning’s show, launching into a discussion about the Super Bowl.

Goldberg said she tuned into last night’s game, but couldn’t seem to focus on anything but the field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

“It was so hard to watch. The grass really upset me. I can’t even explain,” she said, referring to the turf issues that plagued players throughout yesterday’s game as they slipped and slid across the field.

“It really upset me because I thought, if they slip and pull and they hurt themselves, you know, for no reason, then somebody didn’t put the turf down the right way.”

Sunny Hostin turned the conversation to a brighter note by pointing to the two quarterbacks who played last night — Patrick Mahomes with the Kansas City Chiefs and Jalen Hurts with the Philadelphia Eagles — both of whom are Black.

“Finally, we know that Black quarterbacks can lead teams, and are smart enough to lead teams,” she said to applause. She added, “How about some Black owners?”

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
