The View: Is Whoopi Goldberg Leaving the Chat Show Permanently?

As a long-time fan with over two decades of Whoopi Goldberg’s captivating performances etched into my memory, I’ve grown accustomed to her unique charm and unapologetic wit. Rumors about her potential departure from The View have sent ripples through the fandom, but as someone who has witnessed her incredible career evolution, I remain optimistic.


There’s been chatter for some time now that Whoopi Goldberg might be stepping down from The View, causing quite a stir among viewers and the press. With whispers growing louder, people are on tenterhooks to discover if these rumors are actually true, as they wonder if Goldberg is genuinely contemplating her departure from the popular daytime talk show where she’s been a key co-host since 2007.

So, is Whoopi Goldberg leaving The View after Season 27? Here’s everything you need to know.

Is Whoopi Goldberg leaving The View after Season 27?

In early 2021, for a brief moment, Whoopi Goldberg stepped away from her chair on the set of The View during one of their morning episodes. Yet, it’s important to clarify that this temporary absence does not signal her departure from the show; she still plays a pivotal role within its cast.

During an appearance on The View, talk show host Goldberg unexpectedly stood up from her chair to conclude an ongoing conversation with comedian Jo Koy earlier than planned. Koy, there to discuss his Netflix special “Live from Brooklyn,” was expressing his gratitude for Goldberg’s influence on his career. As the show began wrapping up the segment with music signaling its end, Goldberg walked over to Koy and whispered, “I must leave.”

Contrary to some rumors circulating, the renowned comedian has not announced her departure from The View nor received any formal warning about being dismissed. In fact, her contract, renewed in 2021, keeps her with the show until Season 28. At present, neither Goldberg nor the network have made any public declarations suggesting immediate changes to her position on the program, as it is currently airing its 27th season.

Why Whoopi Goldberg keeps leaving The View hosts’ group chat?

During the latest episode of The View on Monday, Whoopi Goldberg spoke candidly about her lack of involvement in discussions outside of the show with her co-hosts. She often leaves their group chats due to losing interest.

Sunny Hostin jokingly noted that Joy Behar frequently brings Goldberg back into the conversation, while Ana Navarro suggested turning off notifications as a more straightforward solution. However, Goldberg rejected this idea and made it clear she prefers minimizing unneeded group chats. She stated emphatically, “Turning off your notifications doesn’t mean you’re part of it. I don’t care about what’s upsetting you. It’s the weekend!” (as reported by Vanity Fair)

Goldberg clarified that she only shares significant information with others. “I don’t simply send you messages without reason! I’m occupied, as you know,” she stated. “When I discuss those hit-and-run incidents, what do you suppose I’m doing? I communicate when I have something to share. I don’t just send you unnecessary messages. I’m busy.”
