Nothing gets past Whoopi Goldberg.
The 68-year-old moderator of “The View” briefly stopped the show Tuesday when a male audience member was recording the program.
During a panel discussion about Donald Trump’s new bond, which was lowered to $175 million by an appeals court, the “Sister Act” star rose from her seat and walked across the set to confront him.
“Hold on, hold on,” she told co-host Sunny Hostin, who was in the middle of telling viewers that they should “be angry” about Trump’s reduced bond.
“What’s the matter?” Joy Behar asked.
“Sir, I have to stop you with the camera, ’cause I can see you,” Goldberg proceeded to tell the spectator. “So do me a favor, don’t pull it out again. I’d appreciate that.”
The rest of the audience applauded the EGOT winner’s reaction while Behar remained confused as to what happened.
“What was he doing?” Behar asked her panelists as Sara Haines helpfully replied, “Recording.”
The use of cell phones while attending a taping of “The View” are prohibited and are expected to be silenced or turned off during the live broadcast to avoid any interruptions.
Last week, it was Behar’s phone that interrupted a panel discussion about the pitfalls of TikTok’s stay-at-home girlfriend trend.
Mid-segment, Behar’s “timer” went off, causing her co-hosts to groan.
“Really?” Haines asked, while Hostin quipped, “Joy, where do you have to be?”
“To get a job,” Behar quickly joked back, causing Goldberg to lay her head on the table in uncontrollable laughter.
But on Monday, the co-hosts got serious for a moment as they apologized for speculating about Kate Middleton’s whereabouts before the Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis on Friday.
Alyssa Farah Griffin said she “forgot something fundamental” — that people can be “dealing with personal struggles we don’t know about.”
“I send my love to her and my strength to her,” she continued. “I didn’t think about there’s something more serious here that she’s dealing with, and I feel awful over it.”
