Sara Haines Walks Off ‘The View’ Set After Whoopi Goldberg’s Risqué Cheese Confession

“The View” is no stranger to unscripted, eyebrow-raising moments, but the November 13th episode took things to a new level when Whoopi Goldberg made an NSFW confession that left her co-host Sara Haines momentarily speechless—and even prompted her to walk off the set in mock shock.

The episode, which coincided with Whoopi’s 69th birthday, started with a lighthearted segment celebrating some of the EGOT winner’s favorite things. Among the quirky items was a giant wheel of cheese, comically emblazoned with Whoopi’s face. As Sara Haines joined Whoopi in showcasing the cheese, the conversation took an unexpectedly risqué turn.

“I always wanted my face on cheese,” Whoopi quipped, holding up the oversized dairy product for the audience. Then, with her signature deadpan delivery, she added, “Yeah, I like to be eaten from time to time.”

The playful innuendo immediately set the studio audience into fits of laughter and applause. Sara Haines, caught off guard by the NSFW joke, let out a surprised laugh, then dramatically walked offstage, only to return moments later, still grinning at Whoopi’s bold sense of humor.

The laughter continued as the segment wrapped up. Whoopi, attempting to regain composure and close out the giveaway, said, “If you’d like a chance to win a wheel just like this one and eat Whoopi Goldberg…”

The double entendre was not lost on anyone, and Sara quickly jumped in to keep the mood light, ensuring the segment ended on a high note.

This isn’t the first time “The View” has delivered jaw-dropping moments, especially when it comes to the hosts poking fun at themselves or each other.

Just last month, co-host Joy Behar brought up Sara Haines’s dating history while Haines’s parents were in the audience. “Are you going to bring up that lesbian relationship you said you had back at Smith?

” Joy asked, referencing Sara’s alma mater, Smith College. Sara, never one to shy away from a candid moment, laughed and jokingly told her dad, “Earmuffs, earmuffs!”

Such candidness and willingness to overshare have become a hallmark of “The View.” Whoopi herself has made it clear she has no plans to leave the daytime talk show anytime soon. During a recent discussion about economic hardship, she emphasized her connection to everyday Americans: “I work for a living.

If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here. I’m a working person, and my kid has to feed her family, and my great-granddaughter has to be fed by her family. I know it’s hard out there.”

As “The View” continues to blend humor, personal stories, and serious discussions, it’s clear that the hosts’ willingness to be unfiltered—sometimes to the point of embarrassment—remains a key part of the show’s enduring appeal.

Whether it’s a risqué cheese joke or a candid family anecdote, Whoopi, Sara, and the rest of the panel keep audiences tuning in for the next unforgettable moment.
