Whoopi Goldberg, a beloved television personality and star of 'The View,' recently revealed her plans to continue her role on the long-running daytime talk show. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Goldberg candidly addressed her financial situation, stating that she cannot afford to retire at this time. This revelation came in response to speculation about whether established Hollywood figures like herself could afford to walk away from their careers. Goldberg's response was clear: 'If you don’t marry well, you got to keep working.' The statement, while humorous, highlights the realities faced by many working professionals who lack substantial financial security beyond their careers. Goldberg, despite her decades-long career and success, is a testament to this widespread experience.
Goldberg's perspective aligns with that of her 'View' co-host, Joy Behar, who, at 83 years old, also shared that she's not ready to retire. Behar, who joined 'The View' in 1997, emphasized the ongoing creative drive that keeps her engaged, stating that 'Creative people don’t retire, they don’t resign, they just keep going.' This shared sentiment emphasizes the passion and dedication that fuel their continued presence on the show.
The 29th season of 'The View' recently premiered, with Goldberg, Behar, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sara Haines, and Ana Navarro all returning. The show remains a highly-rated daytime program, consistently ranking as the most-watched for five consecutive seasons. Their engaging discussions on a range of topics, from politics and pop culture to personal experiences, continue to resonate with a wide audience. The show's recent return featured a segment on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s controversial congressional hearing, demonstrating the show's commitment to tackling significant current events. The insightful and often spirited commentary of these co-hosts is a key component to 'The View's' enduring success, making Goldberg's continued presence highly anticipated.
