Live from New York City, it's The Wendy Williams Show. ♪ Oh yeah ♪ (high energy music) ♪ Feel it, feel it, feel it ♪ ♪ Let's go, c'mon you need it ♪ ♪ How you doin'? ♪ ♪ What is goin' down? ♪ Here's Wendy. (cheering) (high energy music) Woop woop. Woop woop. Woop woop. Woop woop. Woop woop. Woop woop. Woo. Thank you for watching. (cheering) Say hello to my cohost, my studio audience. (cheering) How you doin'? How you doin'? I'm doin' okay, let's get started. It's time for-- Hot Topics. Yes, c'mon. (funky music) (cheering) (chuckling) All right, so here's the deal. Nick Cannon, who always is a loose cannon. We know him for being that, you know? That's why he's my guy. He says it like he means it. (cheering) You might be mad at him for a week but then he's back in action in your heart. So, okay, Keyshia Cole is 38 years old and she's got this boyfriend, Niko, who's 23, and they were on Nick Cannon's radio show when Nick, well, take a look. To be in a relationship and to start a family with someone like this, I mean, I've been in that situation before where I stepped into royalty, to a elder, and she guided me, yeah, you're an elder. I am not a (beep) elder. You are his elder. I am not his (beep) elder. Yes, you are. Embrace it, you are his elder. No, no, no, no. What would you call it? Mariah's your elder. She is, she was-- I am not his elder. and I embraced it. Whoa. So it's funny because my cohost, you all immediately got it. I heard some comments when he said the word elder, and that's exactly it. All right, so Keyshia's boyfriend's 23, she is 38, okay. So does that make her his elder or just an older woman? (crowd talking over each other) That's what I say, an older woman. There's something about elder. Like, only when I'm sarcastic to my parents do I call them elderly, you know? And I always do it tongue in cheek with a laugh, like, you know, "You all are elderly." "We don't need to be goin' there." "I already called up, there's a whole buncha steps." "I don't want 'em and you don't need 'em." Or something like that. Elder is just, it's like calling a beat up car a battle ax. That's like a, that's a word from back in the day. If you're old enough to know, I am. And I don't consider Mariah Nick's elder. She's just a woman who's older than him. (clapping) There's certain words that you don't wanna be called unless you know the person who's calling it to you and it's, like, in a silent area. Like the N word. Like, there are black people who throw that around at the kitchen table all the time, but that's 'cause, you know, you're in the house and you're, you know. (laughs) "Where you at, N word?" or whatever. And women, we don't wanna be called a bitch, unless it's from particular people and it's for a particular way, you know what I'm sayin'? Like when Nini calls. Bring. (crowd talking over each other) Right, right, it's like laughter. But anyway, Nick, we still love you, we forgive you. You know, Keyshia, but I have to do say, what are you doin' with a 23 year old boy? And why are we and, oh, well maybe that I was wrong. I called him a boy. (gasping) He's a grown man. I stand corrected. What are you doing with a 23 year old young man, who still has his whole life to figure out? In the meantime, you have a child, you've been around, and you're 38. Like, that's not even... If I were with a 23 year old and I was 38 years old, I wouldn't even have him at the microphone at Nick. As a matter of fact, I'd tell him, "You wait back here at the hotel." (crowd murmuring) You know? "I'll get you a babysitter." (laughing) (clapping) (chuckling) They have a three month old together, though. So therefore, she's stuck. Or he's stuck. Either way, it's a stuck situation. (crowd laughing) (clapping) But, you know what? At least he's stickin' up, for 23 years old. At least he's stickin' up for his kid and his girlfriend. Which is more than I can say for Owen Wilson. (groaning) (chuckles) Norman, I am not looking at you. No, don't look at me. Funny thing is I wear glasses to see stuff, but my peripheral vision is always on fleek. (laughing) I don't even have to look over there. (laughing) (crowd laughing) Ooh. (laughing) Clearly the chief did not make this, it's boiling. No, you have to listen very close. Owen Wilson, you are no good. (crowd groaning) I don't know how we can see some of those kids movies ever again. Like what? Uh, The Wedding Crashers. Uh, and that one too. Night at the Museum. Uh-huh. Yeah, Father Figures. Got a nerve to be playing a dad when you're not even a dad in real life to your newest baby. All right, so he's the actor Owen Wilson, here he is. He's got a child he has never met. (crowd gasping) Now hold on, this story goes in deep. We've got footage and everything. (crowd groaning) Okay, so he's got an ex-girlfriend. her name is Vooter, Vernie. There she is, Vernie. Varunie. Varunie. Yeah. (laughing) If you didn't see her, wouldn't you think she was something other than what she looks like? Varunie. (chuckles) Anyway, he's got a one year old daughter and he wants nothin' to do with this daughter. Now, he and Varunie were dating on and off for five years. And, to me, you don't date somebody on and off for five years and then have a baby. This sounds like something where, like, she was the drive-by queen or something like that. You know how there's some women who do things for you that another woman wouldn't? Suzanne. Yeah. Uh-huh. (crowd murmuring) No, you know what I'm sayin'. (coughs) I almost choked on my mint. No, (laughs) but you know what I mean. Yeah. Maybe she liked to choke on his mint, I don't-- Exactly. I mean, you're over there choking on a mint. No, but no, no. Everybody, look, I'm trying be mature. No, you're right. You know what I mean, like, there's some women who will do certain things that other women wouldn't and then there's some men who wouldn't even ask. You know, but sometimes men can be corny. Like, they don't want you to wear makeup because you're their girl, but the girls that they hook up with wear all kinda make up. Mmm. You know, they don't want you to have a nice body. They like it when you're fluffy or whatever it is that they... Not to say fluffy is not a nice body, but you know what I'm saying. But the girls that they cheat on you with are built like 36-24-36. Mmm. Uh-huh. They don't want you to do certain things in the bedroom because they don't want to think of you that way, but the girls they hook up with do it all. Mmm, gotcha. You know what I mean. Mm-hmm, yup. So this Varunie, okay, is alleging that she has a one year old daughter and he wants, they took the blood test, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm. So why am I saying alleging? All right, just to stay outta hot water over here. Look, he's never admitted to being the father, but the blood test doesn't lie. (crowd murmuring) Allegedly. Take a look, listen very closely. The paparazzi caught up with him and this is what he did. You have to be quiet to listen, go ahead. What's goin' on, Owen? (faintly speaking) How you doing? I'm good. Got any plans on seeing your baby any time soon? I'm sure your child would like to meet you. (crowd murmuring) Well, honey. Here's what, here's what she had to say. Owen has never met Lyla. No, are you serious? Still. Never. Wow, I mean does at least, does he help financially, at least? Yeah, he helps financially, but it's never been about that. Lyla needs a father. Wow, I mean, it's just so surprising. He seems like such a nice guy, you know? I know, it's ironic how he keeps getting these father roles. He's playing a father in his new movie and he's never even met his own daughter. (crowd groaning) Well, here's what I would suggest that she does. Stay pretty, go on with your life, and take his money. Also, yeah. (clapping) Also, (clapping) if I were her, I wouldn't even want him in the child's life or my life. Like, at one, the child will never remember. What she needs to do though, is not get married again. Because I don't know what the law is once she, because she was never married to him. But say she gets married and then all the sudden, you know, he cuts down on the child support or something like that. She can fall in love. I wouldn't even live with another guy. I would have the other guy, like, you know, come over with a toothbrush and leave. He can come over every day. But just never get mail at my house, you know what I'm saying? Always have your own apartment. And for the little girl, look, there are lots of kids who grow up with no father and they turn out fine. There are lots of single women who raise kids fine with no problem. But to be fighting him about this is, is, it's pointless, Vernice, Vernue. (crowd laughing) Varunie. Varuna. (laughing) And one more thing, this should be the last that we hear from you regarding this because the more you badmouth him about his movies, the more the box office will crash and that'll cut into your child support, you know? So just let it go. (clapping) It's terrible, though. Like, how you gonna get somebody pregnant and then just walk away? It's bad enough, when you do it, if you're in the private sector. But, you know, he's an entertainer. You play dads in movies, you are no good. Mm. Let me tell you something else I think is no good. Now, Issa Rae, I really do love you. I've never met you, but you, you know, you are a powerhouse in the industry right now, with one specific thing that you're doing wrong. So Vivica, right, A. Fox. I've known Vivica for a long time. I found a throwback picture and it was in my office under the couch. (crowd gasps) Uh-huh, uh-huh. (laughs) This picture was like, oh gosh, this was a very long time ago. I don't, it was a long time ago. Look, there's Arnelle Simpson, OJ's daughter. (crowd murmurs) Uh-huh, uh-huh. Then there's Vivica and then there's me. I'm on the radio, the girls came to interview with me and then there's, she looks like Tisha Campbell, but she is-- Paula Jai Parker. What? Paula Jai Parker. Right, Paula Jai Parker. They've always been compared to looking like each other. And then, this right here, that's, I believe, Dominique Dawes. I believe that's the-- Is it really? Yeah, it does look like her. Uh-huh, no that is her. And I remember when the girls came, they interviewed with me on the radio, and they all bought me, well Paula was carrying one, but this is a Coach bag, it's made of silk. They bought me a red one and a mustard-color one and it was just a good old time. And um, um, Jada Pinkett was there, too. Only I guess she didn't wanna be in the picture 'cause at that time, I mean, you know. (crowd laughing) Maybe I was talking about her husband. (crowd laughing) Maybe it was a press junket and they were forced to come to the Bad Girl Show and she didn't want to be part of the picture. But that's okay, I remember it very well. Anyway, so I've known Viv for a very long time, you know? And she's throwing shade at Issa Rae. As well she should. (crowd moaning) Well, this is the way I see it. Issa Rae recently announced that she's doing a remake of 1996 Set It Off. (crowd gasping) Now, clap if you think that this iconic film needs to be remade. No. Not one person. Issa Rae, you need to call Queen Latifah. You need to call Jada, separately. You need to call Kimberly Elise. and definitely call Vivica and say, "Oops, I'm sorry, you all. "When the movie came out, I was only 11 years old." And she was. But I watch it all the time. It comes on every weekend. I always stop, right? And it's comfortable watching. And so, they were on Entertainment Tonight and Vivica was asked how she feels about the remake and she feels like I do, but you take a look. How do you feel knowing that, after all this time, people still want to relive the magic of this film? Vivica. Vivica, I cannot. Well, tell me why-- Okay, I'll give an answer-- Why do you give me that face? It's a classic, leave it alone. Okay. There's absolutely no reason to try to redo it, it's been done. That film has become a cult classic and some things are just better left. Create your own new franchise. That if you want to do a new film of girls robbing banks, create your own thing. (clapping) Mm-hmm. (clapping) I mean, there are so many classic scenes in that film. One that rings to my mind right now, is when Queen Latifah was speeding through the tunnel, and she lit a cigarette, and she's holding it only by her lips while she's running that stick and the seat's all the way back. You know, how like, men drive a car? And she's all the way back and the cops are behind her, and then the cops already blocked off the front of the tunnel and there was no going back. Latifah was about to die, her character, in the movie. At the end of the movie, everyone dies but Jada Pinkett. Like, you can't, I don't want to see a part two, not even with these girls. Just leave the, there's certain classics, you all try to remake them and even they fail. Very few classics do really well. I don't like to see remakes. But just sticking with this one right here. Don't do it, Issa Rae, you're not that good. You're good, but you're not that good. No, nobody is, nobody is. I don't care if they got all four girls together from the original and tried to do somethin', like life goes on. Well first of all, three of them are dead. (crowd laughing) So, what are they going to do? You know, if life went on? No, I don't even wanna see that. I don't wanna see a remake of Boyz in the Hood. No. No. No, Ricky died in that. Yeah. Right. (laughs) Who died? Ricky. (laughs) Morris Chestnut. (laughs) Ew, anyway, I'm sorry Issa Rae. We still like you, but just, and you're young, maybe you didn't know any better regarding that, but leave our classic alone. (clapping) Yeah. (clapping) Hmm, it's truth time with the cohost. (crowd murmuring) A new segment. (laughing) Clap if you've ever taken nude pictures, and I mean all the way naked, go. (clapping) Okay, uh-huh, uh-huh. (crowd murmuring) I guess the cameramen were instructed not to swing to the audience? They were instructed not to. Okay, so look, so we're getting a little protective of the co host. That's not my idea, but the lawyer lady, I guess, said, "Don't show them." (crowd laughing) We don't wanna disgrace you, you still have homes to go to. Okay, clap if you regret taking those nudes. (light clapping) Oh. (crowd laughing) Only a few. (laughs) All right, well Gayle King has admitted that back... oh no, look, look. I was shocked too. I was shocked too. She admitted that when she was back in college, she was dating a photographer and she felt very trusting and she was on the Ashley Graham podcast, and take a look. Once in college, I was dating a guy who was a photographer. And I thought, "Okay, let's have a sexy photo shoot." (gasps) Oh Lord. Now, my idea of a sexy photo shoot, I was nude, but Ashley, I was wearing rollers. This was back in the day where you wear pink foam rollers. That's cool. (laughing) That's like, very Marilyn. That's so stupid. No. I mean, and I'm posing and I'm doing all the things. What'd you do, like, '50s poses? I mean, just, you know, you stick your butt out, you stick your boobs out. He's a photographer, so I went with him to the darkroom to develop them and then when they were done I got all the negatives. So I know that they will never see the light of day. I was gonna say. (crowd murmuring) (clapping) The thing is, is that just 'cause you got the negatives, I don't know. People try to get really tricky these days, and probably those days too, about what they think that you have, but you really don't have the right negatives. You know, the negatives are like, from a dog photo shoot from back in the day. If I were Gayle, I wouldn't have even admitted that right now because that photographer, if he's gonna be around her age, he's still young enough where, you know, he's part of pop culture. Gayle has become this big star and maybe he needs a few dollars. (crowd murmuring) So, maybe he's scrambling to look for these pictures. Or maybe he's gonna try to be crafty, you know, and put Gayle's old face with the sponge rollers on somebody else's body. (laughing) I don't know, I don't know. I, I, I mean, I, I, um like, when I posed naked for PETA, I-- (cheering and clapping) But, when I posed naked for them, like, my soon to be ex-husband was in the room and I felt very freeing. I didn't have on a bra but, you know, the hair was long enough, but the, I mean, my hair did slip a few times. I don't know, go ahead. You gonna release 'em? Fine, 'cause they're good, it's good under here. (cheering) It's good, it's good, it's good. And please don't start with that airbrushing thing, 'cause I barely recognize any airbrushing in this picture. It truly is, it was Merrell who put bronzer all over my body. He's my makeup artist. He doesn't like girls, so he did it like this. (crowd laughing) He was very embarrassed to be in the room. The dearly departed, Antwon, did my hair. But he didn't like girls either and he, he was like this. And down below, if you wanna know what I had on, honestly. I rolled down the smallest little thong, so there is no total nudity. Rolled it all the way down and pulled it up like a tuck, you know what I mean? And so, if the photographer releases 'em I don't care, I really don't care. My son thought that this was beautiful and um, you know what I wish I did get? (clapping) You know what though? You know what I wish I did have? Like, even though women take those pictures naked, you know, when they're pregnant and stuff like that? There's still a sexual origin to 'em. (groans) I don't regret doing that, but I do regret the Tamar belly cast. You remember the belly, you remember she got her, you know, wrapped in, like, paper mache and it had to harden and now that's something lovely she has when she was pregnant with Logan. She hangs it on the, it's on a wall in her house and, you know, it just, really beautiful. But as far as nudity goes, you all better be careful out here, because one day the person who takes the pictures is gonna wanna get paid. Maybe they don't, you know, do their bills as well as you and um, (crowd laughing) that's all. Even if you're married, don't do it. (clapping) All right, that's it for Hot Topics. We got more great show for you, everybody. (cheering) Up next, the one and only Whoopi Goldberg is here, so, ow, grab a snack and c'mon back. (upbeat high energy music) (upbeat high energy music) Woop woop. Woop woop. Wow, really pretty. Okay, so our first guest, she does it all. She's a movie star, a clothing designer, an author, a talk show host. Her new book is called Unqualified Hostess, it's available now, it's like a coffee table-style book. Anyway, welcome EGOT winner, Whoopi Goldberg. ("Juice" by Lizzo) ♪ It ain't my fault that I'm out here gettin' loose ♪ ♪ Gotta blame it the Goose ♪ ♪ Gotta blame it on my juice, baby ♪ ♪ It ain't my fault that I'm out here makin' news ♪ ♪ I'm the puddin' in the proof ♪ ♪ Gotta blame it on my juice ♪ Lady. (cheering) Ooh. You like this? Yeah, is that, ooh. How'd you like one of your own? I like this, too. Perfect. Perfect. Good. Yeah, I'm going somewhere for Christmas and we're all dressing, like, in sweats and sweaters and things like that. No gifts allowed. This'll come in handy. This, oh, there's the voice. Whoopi was screaming at her birthday party. (laughing) All right, lemme give you a shoe cam and then we'll get into it.
Oh, it's just, it's-- No, put 'em down, put 'em down. (magical music) It's okay. (cheering) (laughing) Whoopi, is this you, too? Yes. Can I have it? Yes. (crowd laughing) I mean today. Yes. Thank you, Whoopi. You're welcome. What does it say down the side? Dubgee. That's your line, yeah, W G. Yes. Love it. Good, it's yours. (clapping) That's really good and really nice material. Yeah. How much would something like that retail? Probably about 45 bucks. This is worth it. Yeah. Wow. You know, yeah.
A lotta bang for buck. Yeah. Happy 64th birthday. Thank you. (cheering) So, we have a little footage of you celebrating. Yes. Now what's all goin' on there? Who's the DJ? I don't know what was, we're in the car. First of all, exactly.
We're just in the car. Oh, there's my daughter. We're just havin' a good ol' time and we put on, you know Luke, the birthday song, that Luke did 25 years ago-- Yes. That's what we were listening to and lost our minds in the car. Just-- (laughing) You know, it was so wonderful. The hair. It's for a movie? It's for a movie. I'm a big Stephen King fan. Uh huh. And, yes, so he's doing The Stand, he's doing one of his books, which is The Stand, and I'm playing a woman who's about 108 and so, she's supposed to have totally white hair but it didn't look as good on me so I said, "Well, let's say that she used to smoke cigarettes." 'Cause, you know, nicotine comes out in your roots, you can see it. Oh does it? When you get old. Oh. And your hair does not necessarily come white. So they said, "Okay," and this is what it, I'm not wearing the makeup, I don't know if you can tell right now. (crowd laughing) But it's, so its been this and I have, I keep it until February. Now, will you take it out in February or-- Yes. Okay, just asking. Yes. Just asking, just asking. I just am not, you know, it just, it is, I, it's not me. It looks nice but it's not me. (laughing) I thought, she's like, "Bitch, please." (crowd laughing) (laughing) Oh, Whoopi. How you doin'? All right-- You look good. Thank you, Whoopi. By the way. Thank you. All right, Whoopi's familiar with Jersey like I'm familiar with Jersey, and there was this eyesore called the American Dream mall, it used to be called somethin' else, and it never opened. It used to be called Xanadu.
Xanadu. It was trifling. But now, they, after, like, seven years, they've actually opened it and they've made it the biggest mall in our country. It's not that one out West anymore. They own that as well. Oh, they own that as well. Okay, so they're gettin' all the money. So your store-- Yes. Dubgee. No, it's actually the pop-up store is called Whoopi = The Mall of America. Okay. Yeah.
Now, when you pop up. Yeah.
How long do you pop up? 'Cause I think of pop-up store for, like, a one week thing. No, this is gonna be up until they're up with a lot of other things. They're open now with, if you wanna take the kids, they're open with Nickelodeon. So, all the Nickelodeon rides are there. They're open, also, with the ice skating rink. And our store's-- A rollercoaster. The only store, and a rollercoaster. And ours is the only store open and you can get this. (clapping) You can get, you get this. So everything else is like an attraction and you're the only retail open? Well, we're the only retail open but you name it and they're coming. Yeah. It's going to be something. And he's got, you know, he's put in a ski slope so you can go skiing. You can go surfing 'cause there's a whole beach. Exhausted. I know. Oh god. I know. But it's not for us. Yeah. It's for us to take them and then leave them there. Yeah, yeah. (laughs) So they can go have a good time. All right, I never really knew you as a retailer. I mean, I've always known about the Christmas sweaters, it's like your thing, but, and even that sweater, which is not a Christmas sweater, it's just a beautiful sweater. What else do you sell in your store? We sell the dresses that I've done, the shirts that we've done, the, the-- I didn't know this. Oh yeah. We have a whole line. I'll send you a whole buncha stuff if you like. I like stuff. Okay. I do. Okay. And I heard, I don't know whether this is true, that you're gonna do a line of lingerie. (crowd whooping) Okay, okay. I mean, I, I haven't thought about it, but-- Okay. 'Cause, you know, I think lingerie gets in the way. (crowd cheering) And that's, you know what? I said that when I was told that. I was like, "I don't picture Whoopi wearing bras." Do you wear a bra? I don't but I'm wearing something now that I just found. Because I have scars so I can't have anything on them but I've just started wearing this thing, I'm not sure how I like it, but it feels more confortable, I haven't worn a bra in about 45 years. (crowd gasping) So-- She was like, "Oh my god." (crowd laughing) I see your, I see your-- Those things have been on the floor the whole time. I see your nipples on the floor. That's right, that's right. No, this is good, though. Yeah. What do you do, the exercises? No. Wow. Here's the thing. Okay. If you breastfeed, you know your breasts are gonna drop. they just are, that's what happens. Right. Most of our breasts, if we don't wear bras, we're told we have to, but not everyone does and not everyone should. So, you need to see what works for you and stop lettin' people dictate your chest to you. (clapping) Yeah, yeah. You know? So I like the idea of your book. It's really pretty, the pictures are really real. Like, you really put a lot a thought into this. Yes. Now, I've been to Whoopi's for a dinner party, so you are a qualified host because it was very civilized in a really Whoopi way. Yeah. How do you throw dinner parties? You talk. Well, I just, I... (laughs) This is my attitude, this is why I wrote the book. It's called the unqualified hostess because most people I'm sure, have also been told by their friends, "You can't do stuff like that." You know, "Leave it to the people who know how to. Why you doin' it?" So, what I realized was, I put stuff on my table. I serve people. In good and fine china? Yes. I put fine china, and then I put my toys on the table. Because, who's gonna tell me it's wrong? If I like it, and you comin' to eat for free, why you mad? (clapping) What kinda toys? I don't recall, what kinda toys? Yes. When you were there I think we had-- Bobbleheads.You have an extensive collection of bobbleheads.
Yeah, we had the bobbleheads and I know we had some, um, the trolls. You did have trolls, with the wild hair and the big eyes. Yes, but see, it didn't mess your eye up because you thought, that looks great, I like that. It's conversation. And it's conversation. And then your food is really good. That's always very important. Yes. And the guests. Like, at Whoopi's was the first time I met Neil. Neil deGrasse Tyson, yeah. I had never, like, I had never dined with a scientistt before. Well, listen, I invited him because I wanted to talk, I wanted to know him. This is one of the few people who can explain science to you without making you feel bad. Yeah. You know what, he was on our show about a month ago and he really broke it down. I was like, this is the kind of conversation. This is the kind of teacher you want. But these are things I want to do because I'm antisocial. I like people but I'm not good in people's, I get very uncomfortable because I want to go home. You know, I want to go home, I want to get in my-- So instead you open up your house. So I open up my house because it actually helped me learn how to talk to folks and be able to say, "Hey, I want to know how you do what you do," because I don't understand it. 'Cause that's the other thing that we don't do as people we don't say, "You know, I don't really get this please help me under, can you explain this?" We say, we sort of put our, "Oh no, I get it," and you don't know what they're talking about. So-- And a party that's too big, when people are walking around, you don't really get it. 'Cause Dr. Oz and I had a dinner party at his compound the other weekend and at first we started with 100 people and then we went back and forth. Nope, no, well no, and then we went back and forth, and he was like, "No Wendy maybe 70 people." I said, "Okay." I said, "It's your house." So, 35, I invite 35, 35 he invites. Few weeks later we're talking and he said, "You know what Wendy, my dining room table fits 14 people." I just said that's the best idea ever 'cause nobody's walking around. Nobody really knew each other, but we knew each other, you know, and it was the best time. Joy was there. But it was a really good time. You know what Oz did though that I'm gonna do when I get around to throwing a dinner party again. I'm not really living that life right now, Whoopi. I'm trying to adjust to new life. You know what, your life is fine. You're living the life. It is, Whoopi I'm having a good time. Well, yes, yes. Yes. But, here's what Oz did that I will do for the next dinner party and maybe this is a suggestion for you. Oz had these preprepared cards and we were all talking around the table, Rosanna and Elvis, and we're all having a good time. But, then Oz would say everybody listen to this when was the last time you were truly... When was the last time you laughed out loud, beside tonight? We're beyond that. Oh really. We're beyond that, yeah. No, but he went deeper too. Well, you can do that, you don't need a card. 'Cause what if somebody's not a good writer? Well, I mean, he prepared it. So it-- Yeah, but maybe he ain't preparing it for you. Yeah, he didn't want it for me. Well, but you go want it for other people. No, I'll make my own cards. Well, but maybe, maybe you should just talk to the people. Well, I don't mind doing that and everybody was really talking, we could've done the party without the cards, but I'm just saying, you know. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If your somebody that doesn't know how to do a conversation starter, put something fun on the table. That will start the conversation, you know. That's fun as well. 'Cause I would be, I would... 'Cause I'm dyslexic so writing something down would make me anxious. (Wendy gasps) Yeah, I know, it's crazy. But, you know, 'cause you want it to look good and you want it to be legible. I'm not always legible. Sometimes, you know, people come and say, "What does this say?" Whoopi Yes. Um, so we were talking about the remake of Set It Off, which I don't feel should happen. Why not? It's a classic, there's certain things that need to be left alone. Okay. That's all, I'm not arguing with you about it. No, no I was just curious. Because listen, I'm in Lion King, they've remade that 1400 times. So, you know, I get it. I was just wondering why. But there's certain things, there's certain things. For me, Set It Off is one of those. Now you're reprising your role in Sister Act? I'm on stage, yeah. Now, is that a remake or is that the original Sister Act? No, it's Sister Act for the stage. I did not do Sister Act for the stage. I played Mother Superior for them in London until I needed to come back. But, what the difference is now is that I'm doing Deloris. I'm doing Deloris, and it's Deloris older. But still a little wacky, you know. So yeah, it's great, but listen. There are some movies that it will take much longer to get made, and sometimes you want to see the group. You know if your 20, in you're in your 20s, you want to see your particular group tackle the material. You know, and you call it Set It Off and it's like, so people have the thing. But that's what it is. I mean, Star Is Born, how many of those have they made? I don't care. 1400 of them. I don't care, I care about Set It Off. I get, well, I don't. (laughing) I'm just saying, you know, she wants to act that, she wants to do that part. She wants to do that part in that movie. I'm not going. (laughing) I'm just saying. That's how your do it. I'm not going. But I can tell you one thing, I do watch The View. (cheering and clapping) Okay. I don't.
She says I don't. (squeals) (clapping) No, you know, I don't watch television. I don't watch television because it's too much. There are a lot of channels. It's a lot of channels and too many people. But you should be honored that amongst all the channels, your show sticks out. Okay. You and the girls. (clapping) All right. You've quit many times. I've never quit. Well, you've been fed up many times. I've never quit. Do you care anymore? No. Oh gosh. (laughing) (clapping) My god and people. Listen, I didn't care when I got the job. Oh. (giggling) Here's the thing, when we, when I started with this show, you misunderstanding, I don't-- I'm just happy to be here, just, I love being on daytime. When my show ends I go right in to my office and I turn on The View. I just like it when I watch TV through the TV, I like everybody to think, I like to think that the people are as happy to be there as I am to be with you. Whoopi, they're wrapping me up. Well, you're not gonna wrap it before I answer this question, I'll tell ya that. (clapping) (cheering) Here's the thing, this is a really good job, (laughing) I have a really good job and I do it well. Every day half the country hates your guts. I pay no attention to them. Well, see, so what. Half the country loves you. I pay no attention to them. Because my job is to come and give my opinion and that's what I do. So I don't get caught up... You know, there's lots of rumors. I don't listen to 'em, I don't like 'em, I just do my thing, I'm going. (cheering and clapping) Thank you, Whoopi. (clapping) Thank you, very much.
