Whoopi Goldberg calls out 'The View' co-hosts for passing notes on-air, reminding them to focus on their job.

During a recent episode of "The View," Whoopi Goldberg playfully called out her co-hosts, Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar, for passing notes during the live taping. The EGOT recipient was in the middle of explaining a story about two co-workers who drove eight hours to attend a wedding they were not invited to when she noticed Hostin and Behar giggling about a private conversation.

"Wait, are you guys passing notes on television?" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked, breaking the fourth wall. Another co-host, Sara Haines, chimed in, "I feel like I'm in church right now."

Goldberg then jokingly asked Hostin and Behar to share their private note "with the rest of the class." Hostin continued to laugh, admitting that their private conversations are usually "inappropriate." Behar then playfully hushed her colleague, saying "silence is golden right now."

Amidst the playful banter, Goldberg tried to refocus on the story at hand, saying "I'm just trying to do our job." However, the moment seemed to fluster her, and she asked Behar to jump in and explain the details of the story instead.

This small clash between the co-hosts is not out of the norm, as they are known for their onscreen clashes. In fact, earlier this month, they made headlines for a heated discussion on race. Hostin challenged Griffin after Griffin stated that she did not believe Americans are racist. "If you looked like me, you'd believe differently," Hostin responded.

"I think there's a significant portion that are racist, and you can't dismiss my lived experience when I say that there are a lot of racists in this country," Hostin continued. She went on to share a personal experience of her son being called the N-word multiple times while walking on a beach in Florida. "You can't say I believe that the vast majority of people aren't racist. We don't know that."

Despite their occasional clashes, the co-hosts of "The View" always manage to bring a lively and diverse perspective to the show. It's no wonder that the show has gained a loyal and passionate fan base over the years. And with Goldberg at the helm, always ready with a witty remark or a playful jab, viewers are in for a fun and thought-provoking time.
