Whoopi Goldberg Powers Through The View Broadcast Hoarse from Cold

Whoopi Goldberg experienced a hoarse voice and a cold during her recent appearances on The View, which affected her typically lively hosting style. She missed the Wednesday broadcast due to illness but returned on Thursday with a noticeably scratchy voice, explaining to viewers that her cold was "kicking her behind" though it did not make her cranky. Her co-hosts, including Joy Behar and Sara Haines, offered support and lighthearted comments, helping to maintain the show's usual dynamic despite her subdued presence. Goldberg also had a brief paranormal moment on the Monday show, reacting to something brushing her sight line during a discussion about President Trump and a $400 million aircraft deal. The show continued to cover various topics, including a conversation about the pros and cons of living in a haunted house, where Goldberg shared her thoughts on ghosts and the history of homes with past deaths. Overall, despite her illness and the eerie moment, Goldberg remained engaged with the show's discussions while managing her symptoms on air.
